Dancing With The Stars Betting Odds: Ali & Ohno

It’s time for the fourth instalment of our introductory look at the Dancing With The Stars betting odd - and since we’ve being going backwards up the odds, today’s dancers are supposed to be pretty good. Plus they’d beat us up if we said they were crap.

That’s not to say they aren’t crap, though - here in merry olde England we don’t have the chance to watch Dancing With The Stars, so we haven’t got a clue. The nearest thing to Dancing With The Stars here is Strictly Come Dancing, which is more or less the same, only it features celebrities so cripplingly unfamous that it may as well be called Who Are These Twats Spinning Around On The Telly. Anyway, just because we can’t see Dancing With The Stars, it doesn’t mean that we can’t place a bet on the winner. Because we’re going to. And you should too.

So here are today’s batch of Dancing With The Stars betting odds - for Laila Ali and Apolo Anton Ohno - with help from PaddyPower…

Apolo Anton Ohno - Who the hell is Apolo Anton Ohno? We know three things about Apolo Anton Ohno, and only three things. 1) He appears to have three different names, 2) One of these names is Oh No! and 3) He’s a maniac on the ice rink. Apolo Anton Ohno has a pretty impressive CV - he’s won six gold medals for speed-skating, he’s the reigning US short track speed skating champion since and he’s won the US men’s title eight different times. But can Apolo Anton Ohno dance? The Dancing With The Stars betting odds seem to think he’s in with a chance. Here’s the kicker, though - we’ve yet to see a photo of Apolo Anton Ohno where he isn’t wearing a shit bandana or a pointless half-beardy thing. And we’d vote for a murderer before we voted for anyone with either a bandana or a shit beard. Current Dancing With The Stars betting odds - 6/1

Laila Ali - Who the hell is Laila Ali? Bloody hell, it’s Muhammed Ali’s daughter. Obviously it’s a shame that Muhammed Ali never got to top off his glittering career as three time heavyweight boxing champion of the world, Olympic gold medallist and Sports Illustrated’s Sportsman Of The Century with a turn doing rudimentary ballroom dance moves on a reality TV show with a one-legged woman and the fat bloke from Cheers. But he can’t, so his daughter Laila Ali gets to appear on Dancing With The Stars instead. Laila Ali is perhaps most famous for being a female boxer - a job that doesn’t immediately lend itself to graceful reproductions of the cha cha cha. But if it weren’t for the shit one from Beverly Hills 90210 and the shit one from ‘N Sync, there’s a good chance that Laila Ali would be the winner of Dancing With The Stars. Current Dancing With The Stars betting odds - 4/1

Tomorrow - More of this, obviously. But if that’s too long to wait - or you feel like making more money than you know what to do with - head right over to the Paddy Power Dancing With The Stars betting odds page to see the latest, and best, betting odds.
