I'd say so. I can't really see FutureProof winning to be honest. Last year Eton Rd were one of the faves but they went before McDonald Brothers :shocked:

[CassetteFinger]

Indeed leona was also 5th favorite this time last year.

[BigSister]

im surprised bevelery is quite low down in the odds

[Shaun]

Gooo Hope :bigsmile:

I really doubt FutureProof will win. Like somebody above me here said, they're too much like the Eton Road of this year.

Am surprised Kimberley and Beverley aren't higher.

[dupin]

Very shocked to see Kimberly so low; I think she's definately going to be top female.

[Shaun]

And how is Leon so high? :conf2:

"Oh, I have a single mum, aren't I unfortunate?"

Because he has a brilliant voice and it's a singing competition.

[BigSister]

I like Leon too Aaron glad to see him high in the odds:colour:

[Ruth*Star]

Omg how is SD so low, they are awesome.

[dupin]

I totally agree!

He has a completely average voice, and he acts so sorry for himself. I have a single mum, by the way, and it's not exactly hard.

You can't compare, you don't really know what his life was like.

I think he has a brilliant voice, but we haven't seen much of any of the contestants yet.

I agree with both of you. He is average-at-best. He's only memorable due to his sob story.

Andy is the best of the boys category, well he is now that idiot Dannii eliminated Dominic.

[TopzTom]

One contestant that I have hope (excuse the pun) in is Beverley. At start of XF2, Brenda had odds of 33/1 to win and was one of the major outsiders. People started to realise that she had a lot of talent (but not neccesarily the 'package') and she was third favourite to win when she was eliminated (Andy was going as far as bookies were concerned).

It shows that betting isn't everything because following the announcement of the live stages contestants last year, I decided to keep track of the betting odds and here and the inital ones from Paddy Power:

1 – Ben - 10/3
2 – Ray - 5/1
3 – Leona - 13/2
4 – Kerry - 13/2
5 – Ashley - 7/1
6 – Nikitta - 8/1
7 – The Unconventionals - 9/1
8 – The MacDonald Brothers - 12/1
9 – Robert - 14/1
10 – 4Sure - 16/1
11 – Eton Road - 25/1
12 – Dionne - 50/1

The only correct odds and placement there is for Ray...

[TopzTom]

I also hope that Niki pulls some amazing performances (equal to her first and final auditions) out of the bag and stays for at least the first two weeks - just like Dionne did.

[CassetteFinger]

Leon is my least favorite this year like the rest have said he dosent have a amazing voice average at best and that is the worst sob story i have ever herd my mum is single hahaha.

[XxShortyxX]

Anyone notice it's nearly all the guys that are the favs to win :rolleyes:

How annoying.

First Elimination:

Same Difference 7/2
Rhydian 4/1
Niki 5/1
Alisha 6/1
Beverley 6/1
Kimberley 8/1
Emily 11/1
Hope 14/1
Daniel 16/1

Leon 20/1
Futureproof 25/1

[XxShortyxX]

The top 4 are all guys :rolleyes:

The only guy who doesn't stand a chance at winning is Rhydian, although I don't like him, he is a way better singer then the other guys. And Futureproof are carp!

[SairBabi92]

I found this on msn.com

Futureproof have cemented their place as the favourites to win this year's X Factor.

The boyband, who were put together from soloist rejects at the Bootcamp stage, are being mentored by Simon Cowell and have been backed to 9/2 to win the show, beating their nearest rivals Daniel De Bourg and Leon Jackson.

Ladbrokes spokesman Nick Weinberg said: "Daniel and Leon looked on course to challenge Futureproof's favouritism. But Simon Cowell's act weathered the storm and are attracting more bets by the day."

Meanwhile, Welsh opera singer Rhydian still seems to be suffering from the effects of recent bad publicity, as he drops down in the betting to 20/1.

"Rhydian is going in the opposite direction -support for him dries up with every minute that passes," Nick added.

"If the Welshman performs as badly on the show as he has in the betting he's going to be in real trouble."

Brother and sister act Same Difference have their work cut out if they want to succeed. They are currently the show's outsiders on 33/1.

[CassetteFinger]

Well we wont know until they sing how good or bad they are.

Futureproof are so rubbish, typical boring boy band. They don't even have a personlaity between them. Still the Teenage girls will still vote for them:rolleyes:

[Wasted]

I think Futureproof have peaked too soon. I can't see them winning to be honest.

:)

[Ruth*Star]

Yeah i'm surpised Rhy is so high aswell.

[Wasted]

I'm surprised too, but glad. The best two singers have the best odds. Hope are growing on me too...

[CassetteFinger]

Poor sharon she has no chance im still supporting alisha anyway even if no one likes her i dont get why Beverley is so low i think niki is over shadowing her.

[XxShortyxX]

Yay Niki is fav 2 win :bigsmile: with Hope second :bigsmile: Best singer 1st and 2nd, it's all good, let's hope it stays like that.

[Wasted]

There are odds for the double elimination (IF it is a double, don't think it's been confirmed yet)

http://odds.bestbetting.com/specials/tv-and-films/x-factor/double-elimination

[Billy]

YAYYY odds are shortening on Andy and Alisha.

...and Emily and Andy, which somehow you missed *shrug*

[Billy]

I actually didnt miss it. I didnt see the point in commenting, as tbh I dont think theres a chance in hell that Alish will survive next week

[dupin]

I can actually see both Alisha and Emily surviving; I won't be surprised if either stay or go.

[Billy]

Looking at Alishas song choice, if it was anyone else the would probably be safe, but I can see her being bototm again :(

[dupin]

Yeah, the way to figure it out is, if she's through, she'll be the first through. When she wasn't the first through last week, I knew she was in the bottom two again.

[Billy]

That was what I was thinking too. I also look at it like, if they call someone first, there on the lower half of the votes (ie they got lower amounts of votes).

That, or it was someone who got critisism from the judges, so the public subsequently THINK they'll be in the bottom two (Leon, Emily)

[Wasted]

There's a new favourite to win now:
