I'd have bet money on Lainey Wilson winning her second CMA Entertainer of the Year Award on Wednesday night (Nov. 19) — maybe even a lot of money.

Awards show gambling is hardly advisable, but in this case, the bettor's favorite was clear. Every classification of voter loves this woman. Heck, she may win two or three more before she's through.

Wilson became the third woman to win multiple CMA Entertainer of the Year awards, joining Taylor Swift and Barbara Mandrell .

With three wins last night, she now has 12 — two short of Miranda Lambert , who (with 14) has the record for most CMAs by a female solo artist.

Wilson and Lambert are now the only two women to win CMA Album of the Year twice.
