Survivor 5: Thailand Odds now posted at Bodog Sportsbook, Casino and Poker!

With the cast for CBS' hit reality television show announced yesterday, Bodog Sportsbook, Casino and Poker has made Brian Heidik, a used car salesperson from Quartz Hill, CA as the odds-on-favorite to outwit, outplay and outlast the other 15 competitors when the show begins September 19. Heidik is currently listed at 3/1. For a complete set of odds for Survivor 5: Thailand, CLICK HERE!

Heidik is one of the sixteen competitors chosen for fifth installment of Survivor. Bodog has offered odds on the previous three seasons.

"The show's popularity basically demands that we offer this to our clients," said Rob Gillespie, Bodog's Operations Manager. "In terms of non-sporting events, it's one of the most watched competitive television events in the world. We're proud to offer this kind of unique product to our clients."

Stephanie Dill , a Fire Fighter from Arkansas, is the top-rated female contestant at 4/1. Odds are offered for all 16 contestants, but Gillespie has annointed Heidik as the favorite.

"He's got everything you look for in a Survivor winner," said Gillespie. "He's athletic, intelligent and best of all, he's a used car salesmen, so you know he's used to being less than honest to get what he wants."

Survivor isn't the only reality show Bodog is currently offering odds for. Fox's American Idol: Search for a Superstar is also listed, as is CBS' other reality show, Big Brother 3. For complete odds on all of these programs, CLICK HERE!
