Miss Universe Betting Options and Tips

Centrebet clients can bet on the winner of the Miss Universe pageant, who will reach the final and place in it, as well as picking the winner of individual awards such as "Miss Photogenic".

Miss Universe betting can be difficult due to the relatively small amount of information that can be found on the contestants. Upon quick inspection of the statistics, however, clear patterns emerge. Seven of the eleven winners from 1997 to 2006 were from an American (North, Central or South) nation, while four from five of the pageants hosted by Central and South American nations in the last ten years were also won by contestants from that region.
