The large scale pageant is getting ready to take to the airwaves July 14th with 80 contestants. Online entertainment betting website BetUS.com has made Miss Venezuela Dayana Mendoza the +500 odds favorite to be crowned Miss Universe 2008.“Donald Trump sure knows how to pick up potential Miss Universe contestants,” stated Point-Spreads.com Gossip Columist Chatty Kathy. “This Miss Venezuela Dayana Mendoza is a beautiful girl pictured in a sexy bikini and apparently she was kidnapped when she was little. I am going to bet on Dayana Mendoza for sure at +500 odds because Mendoza knows how to be calm in a stressful situation and being up on that stage next to Donald Trump would be very stressful.” In more than 180 countries you will be able to view the world's most beautiful women and the brand new prized crown. Valued at more than 120 thousand dollars, it is made of 18K white and yellow gold. It is comprised of over 1,000 precious stones; including 555 white diamonds (30 carats), 375 cognac diamonds (14 carats), 10 smoky quartz crystals (20 carats) and 19 morganite gemstones (60 carats).
