Mario Lopez Remains Favorite at PinnacleSports.com

WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- After nearly two months, ABC's hit show "Dancing With The Stars" has hit the home stretch as only four celebrity teams remain in the competition. In the next two weeks, Mario Lopez, Emmitt Smith, Monique Coleman and Joey Lawrence and their professional partners will try to impress the television audience and judges with various dance routines. With the hit reality show nearing its finale, PinnacleSports.com has announced updated odds on who'll win "Dancing With The Stars."

The first bookmaker to post odds on "Dancing With The Stars," PinnacleSports.com has updated betting lines on the show's finale and continues to list former teen heartthrob Mario Lopez as the favorite to win the show. After originally opening at 3/1 odds to win the competition in August, the former "Saved By The Bell" star has seen the most backing from bettors as he's waltzed his way through the competition and is now a 5/6 favorite to win it all. Showing that his quick footwork on the gridiron has translated onto the dance floor, PinnacleSports.com lists the NFL's all-time leading rusher Emmitt Smith at 7/4 odds to add the reality show title to his collection of Super Bowl rings. The only remaining female on the show, Monique Coleman is currently a 9/1 long shot to emerge as the next dancing star, along with former child star Joey Lawrence.

"Mario Lopez has been the favorite to win Dancing With The Stars among our bettors since the celebrity competitors were first announced in August," said Simon Noble of PinnacleSports.com. "While Lopez has shown that he's clearly the best dancer among the contestants, his chances may be hurt by Emmitt Smith's popularity and potentially splitting votes with fellow teen heartthrob Joey Lawrence."
