Will the bookies ever get it wrong?

[Dan_]

So far this series the bookies have been correct on who will go on each eviction but do you think they will ever get one wrong?

[GiRTh]

They very rarely get it wrong, that why they're all so rich.

Once charleys a goner I can see them gettin it wrong. They could get it wrong in a Nicky V Carole or NIcky V Ziggy

[Arneldo]

I doubt it. They haven't been wrong since CBB3 Final - as far as i can remember.

[bonnie43uk]

believe me, they DO get it wrong occasionally.. my bank balance is testament to that. ..i've won big money on evictions, and lost big. they normally get it right, but some eviction results have upset the bookies applecart.

They have to get it wrong sometime.

[X.Samanda.X]

[GlitterEyes]

I think they won't....not for some time anyway.

Theyve been wrong loads since then.

Lea V Richard
Richard V Jayne
And the couples one
And the one where they were all up except Jayne, cos I remember watching BBM and they said it was Bye Bye Aisleyne

u need it to be really close for the bookies to get it wrong

[Mojina]

I'm sure the close ones back in BB5 had them losing money, like Derek v Roberto, Science v Orlaith, Maxwell v Science and Kemal v Orlaith.

The one that surprised them last year was Nikki v Sam. Although Sam was evicted, the bookies had her at really short odds when infact Sam was evicted with just 53%.

I take it that means a bit up overall then :thumbs:. I think there must be money to be made, though I've not really investigated this area.
I'd like an opportunity to bet after a BB incident occurring at about 4 am live, that would significantly change the eviction prospects of a a hm who was otherwise in a more balanced challenge for eviction.
Anyway bonnie, I know you well enough to know that you have bet on Charley to win, so come on , what odds did you get.?Lol

Edit : Meant to say that the bookies seem to get their info very early on nominations etc. so I guess they only get it wrong when it's a close call or something happens that can dramatically change things, but they can make money out of those situations as well.

Lea, Jayne, Michael & Spiral were all favs to be evicted during there durings. And Nikki was fave to go - Aisleyne was fave to go at the start of the week but by eviction night Nikki was a dead cert.

Sorry, Lea was your right there, but during Big Brother Jayne slipped and also Nikki was fave at beginning, and Michael and Spiral were close with imogen n susie

[DrPepper]

They got it wrong in big brother when Science faced of against Orlaith
