Miss Universe is breaking new ground at this years pageant with the first transgender contestant to ever compete for the crown, and those betting on the competition are declaring her a heavy favorite.
Angela Ponce won her qualifying rounds in Spain and will represent her country at the 2018 Miss Universe pageant in Bangkok, Thailand.
Ponce, who hails from Seville, was the first transgender woman to be crowned Miss Universe Spain and is competing to promote gender diversity and equality.
As the competition nears, online bookies are taking action, and Ponce has grown to become the clear favorite with current odds of +600.
The folks at MyBookie.ag compiled their list of where all the countries currently stand. To put it in perspective, the Miss USA Sarah Rose Summers has odds of +2,000 if she wins the whole competition.
If youre not interested in betting on the ladies, MyBookie is also taking action on whether or not host Steve Harvey will announce the wrong winner again, and whether a contestant will fall. Bettors are putting big money on Harvey screwing up.
However, if youre looking for the big payday, you may want to put your money on Miss Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean. Urvashee Gooriah currently pays out at +20,0000 if she wins.
The pageant airs December 16 at 7:00 PM. Good luck to all the competitors gamblers!
Shame, Miss Universe was supposed to be the no nonsense alternative to Miss America/World if you didn’t want all the political stuff. Whats the point of a women’s beauty pageant anymore?
Yes, Joey. That's how our ancestors lost the culture war.
The odds are zero she will have to compete on her period like many of the other girls will have to. That has to give her a leg up with the odds. I think it looks odd.
He’s pretty, aside from the MAN HANDS and the HAIRY ARMS.
I’ll never understand why this particular vein of INSANITY and self-mutilation is approved of and/or promoted.

Luke’s a dude wearing makeup to mmy..
But homofascists swear they have no attraction to heterosexuals, except they try to bait and trap everywhere these days online and in “feminine beauty pageants”.
Have they tried suing topless strip joints yet?
and yet if a woman had that much work done she’d be disqualified, same with the athletes...
Rename it to “It Universe”.
Thanks.
...and the jaw/mouth looks a bit too substantial. I see it in the face.
“You made me feel
like a transgendered woman ...”
just doesn’t have quite the same resonance really.
Good catch. I have looked at different body/face parts to find the maleness, but this man looks all woman and could fool me if he looks the same in real life. Definitely, man hands - the muscles under the fingers gives him away.
Well, of course, it must win.
East German Olympians, fifty years ahead of their time.
In the video, the voice gives him away.
I bet HE would fail the nude competition.
I don't watch videos - too many ads and popups. But yes, the voice can give them away sometimes.
