Miss Ghana World gets worst odds

Miss Ghana is one of six beauties with the worst odds to win Miss World 2006 which takes place this year in Wausau, Poland on Saturday September 30. A win would result in a $20,000 payout for every $100 bet.
However, when it comes to beauty pageants, Venezuela is often the first country to come to mind, with a rather impressive representation year after year. Miss World 2006 is no different. The Miss World 2006 betting odds have Ms. Venezuela leading the pack with odds of +600 (or a payout of $600 for every $100 bet)
Miss World has grown to be the most sought after and prestigious title in beauty pageantry. The Final is the world's largest live annual television event with global viewing figures topping two billion across more than 200 countries.
Other top favorites in this year's competition include Miss Australia at +750 odds or a payout of $750 for every $100 bet; Miss Czech Republic and Miss India, both also with +750 odds. Miss Angola comes in with odds of +900. Miss Martinique is listed next with odds of +1200 followed by Miss Panama at +1400.
But one has to feel for the likes of Miss Tanzania, Miss Tahiti, Miss Mongolia, Miss Guadeloupe, Miss Ghana and Miss St. Lucia - all with the worst odds. A win by either of these women would result in a $20,000 payout for every $100 bet.
Miss England pays out $5000 for every $100 bet while Miss USA pays out $4000 for every $100 bet
Some other hotties, each paying out $2000 for every $100 bet and listed among the top 15 include Miss Puerto Rico, Miss Mexico, Miss Canada, Miss Columbia, Miss Lebanon and Miss Spain.
"There are online gambling sites that list Sabrina Houssami, Miss World Australia 2006, as the favorite," comments Gambling911.com Entertainment Reporter Payton O'Brien. "Miss India, Natasha Suri, is also interchanged as a favorite at some books."
India is also a heavy producer of Miss World winners, according to Readabet.com.
"India boast an outstanding recent record, prevailing three times in the last decade, the latest victory coming when Priyanka Chopra reigned in 2000."
"Betting on Miss World is quite popular," O'Brien disclosed. "The vast majority of European-focused online gambling websites will be offering betting odds on this event."
