In behalf of the Filipino community I apologize for that behavior of our countrymen who did not think of others who plans to sleep while he/she is celebrating something. That incident can be reported to the local law enforcers because they only allow loud videokes up to 12 midnight. Nevertheless, not in all part of the country is like that.

its OK, it came on at like 10 AM and I usually sleep till 10:30, so no biggie. most of the time the videoke is off by like 10 PM or midnight... most of the time. I like to sing too but I usually do it in a KTV or a bar.

Interesting that this is how I found out about it. I've lived in the Philippines for 8 months and the only thing I noticed was that the videoke was on at the apartment complex across the way extra early this morning, lol.

In this case where a beauty pageant was won by a Filipina, expect a lot of cheerful Filipinos around the globe. We are always proud whenever a fellow Filipino is recognized.

Funny while I am stuck in traffic here in the Philippines you can hear the Jeepneys with their loud speakers on while driving listening to the live feed on the Miss Universe pageant. You can hear the people shouting with joy every time they hear Steve Harvey mention Miss Philippines, from top 20, top 10 to top 5 until the final 2 with Miss South Africa.

Top 3 on my list was South Africa, Philippines and Canada. Too bad Canada was dropped from the top 5. Surprised to see Miss Spain in the list of top 20.

Congrats to all Filipinos around the world. The country was won another Miss Universe and I'm sure that all Filipinos are celebrating, LOL. 1st runner up goes to Miss South Africa, I guess the betting public is correct in their prediction. LOL.

Actually, beauty parlors or beauty salons are closed or not accepting customers during the pageant Grin

Heres the video of Miss USA, its hardly that negative but just the usual catty remarks I guess that have to be common in these contests. I would not call this racism though, bit ignorance and just the usual I only speak English attitude towards the rest of the world which is no way rare at all afaik

LOL, Miss Universe 2018 betting is funny I was hearing. And I think the speculation is based on a lot of criteria, about the beauty, I think the girl from Canada has the high chance to win the Miss Universe 2018. So that we should wait for the result to verify the betting.

There should be a rule that only bikini pictures of the candidates are allowed to be posted in this thread hehehe.

I have to agree, she's stunning.

Yeaaaaaah!

Thanks for the... Research material Cool

She's lacking a bit on the upper zone I'd say though.
It's important :3

Yes the contestant from Philippines is such a beautiful woman. With regards to the looks she has the beauty that other contestants don't have but we should remember that this pageant is not just about beauty but also in brains. Of course their fate depends on how well they could deliver their answers in the question and answer portion.

What?
No.
It's about beauty only... The brain part is a huge joke nothing else.

Wrong, this is why most candidates that has the beauty falls off, because they cannot comprehend fast enough, it demands knowledge, because if you don't have that, then the judges won't pick you, its not a huge joke in the pageant, its a huge thing to have brains and at the same time being beautiful, so I think you are wrong to that my good sir.

I’m not watching this, can’t be bothered but if I was I wouldn’t be betting on it.

Here's the most important part, highlights of the bikini catwalks:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUI0gMY8TTc

Most of the final contestants are in there.

My girlfriend hit me 4 times as we watched this as I was stupid enough to provide my commentary.

Don't want to be a bandwagoner but I would go with Philippines; Russia is my long shot.

Damn this is just legal porn xD

Like they try to make miss Universe a bit classy and all, but in the end it's just one question:
What ass & tits do you prefer?

Rest is just useless talks.

Fairlay is a betting exchange? That might explain why the odds there very different from Nitrogensports. Sportsbooks odds are calculated by professional oddsmakers.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that odds are calculated automatically without any involvment of professional oddsmakers. The mechanism of calculation is a pretty simple one: the more people are betting on a particular contestant on a site, the lower the odds for her on this site, and vice versa. That's why the odds differ from site to site so much in some cases.

I reckon where the gamblers bet their money makes the odds different from site to site, however, their starting odds are almost similar in the beginning because they are from professional oddsmakers or copied from other sportsbooks.

But for prop betting like the Miss Universe it is different and might be based only in volume. DarkStar_ explained it well.

Not for all events. For props like these, odds are based on volume. If a large number of people bet on South Africa to win on Nitrogen, the odds are going to go down to discourage people from adding more money so that Nitrogen doesn't take a huge loss if South Africa wins. Nitrogen odds usually start as Pinnacle odds with added juice

Didn't know people actually bet on Miss Universe

, For what it's worth Miss Congeniality is a pretty good movie. I think the whole competition is a bit ridiculous though, on one hand women don't like being objectified but they have no problem being judged based on their looks in this contest...

Right.Miss Congeniality will come naturally if you're truly a miss universe indeed.I guess miss Philippines has more chances to own the crown again because of her beauty and brain looks.And knowing that she topped already in the survey then it would not be hard for her to win in this pageant.After all,it's in the final round which will matter most,the question and answer portion.

Looks like the chance of Miss USA to win the title of Miss Universe is getting slim as she is now in hot waters for bashing another candidate for Miss Universe which is Miss Cambodia for her English skills. This will have an effect on the judges perception on her specially they are also graded on how they treat other Miss Universe candidate.

It's was my first time to see this kind of gambling but if we the odds, the greater the value, it's difficult to predict the winner.
This is the example of combination crypto gambling industry that attract people to gamble on anything.

I'm expecting E-Sport gambling for crypto coming soon,right ?

I don't really understand how they select a winner, everyone who goes there is obviously very pretty, otherwise they wouldn't be there. These people are the most beautiful people in their country for that year and they are competing against each other but all of them are incredibly pretty as it is, how do you select the most beautiful one among all of those.

For example miss Philippines seems like the biggest candidate but what makes her prettier than say miss Iceland ? Doesn't the preference has a play in this ? For example I would prefer someone with white skin and blonde hair and blue eyes, which is miss Iceland to me, however this doesn't mean she will be selected because there are judges on there, maybe judges prefer mixed race, wouldn't that automatically give Iceland worse chance ? I mean I give examples of Iceland and Philippines because one is not given any chance at all and the other seems favorite in a subjective race.

If you look back it seems that the latina type is probably the most successfull because it appeals both to caucasian, latinos and black people which makes a heck big part of the world.

Exactly. That's why I think that Vanessa Villars has big chances to win the beauty pageant. Maybe she looks "too Caucasian" on that pic from the Miss Universe official site, but here's another picture of her which I think can be liked by people of all races:

Now it's really interesting, for the first time in my life probably, who will win this competition.

The feminist outrage on this must be off the scale, not just the contest but then betting on it, oh dear. Its ideal for the bet industry because its impossible to say, attraction is totally a personal judgement and everyone has their own bias. Almost nobody will be judging correctly or able to figure out the exact factors unless they earn a pretty penny already as a model talent scout or photographer perhaps but fairly close to random imo

Beauty is only about 50% of the eye in the beholder and the rest is pretty objective -- at a subconscious level people tend to be more attracted to succinct features of symmetry as they are a sign of strong, healthy genetics, as textbook as it sounds. But yeah its like if each country is already sending one of their best representatives (or best) of beauty, how does one pick out from among those which are the _most_ beautiful? Maybe it is just who can appeal the most to a worldwide audience, or more specifically to the judges tasked with the decision.

I remember betting on Miss Belgium a couple of years ago because she was smoking hot, but she was just a bit too blonde bombshell for the rest of the world.

Filipinas do have that global look because of a nice combination of heritages -- multiracial people tend to be subconsciously desirable because the mixing of genes is healthy for the species.
