I dont think I can. This is why:

1. Twins fave, Brian wins (BB8)
2. Janice Dickinson fave, Biggins wins (IAC)
3. Chris Fountain fave, Susanne Shaw wins (DOI)
4. Faryl fave, George Sampson wins (BGT)
5. Amy fave, John wins (5th fave) (BBCH)
6. Mikey fave, Rachel wins (BB9)
7. Rhydian fave, Leon wins
8. Maria Lawson is a huge unlikely 66/1 to go, and she went on that night.

And all of this was in the last 1 and a half years.

Soo, imo, Diana wont win XF :sad: and Austin or Tom wont win SCD :sad:

Not really, on the date of both finale's.
BB8: Twins- 1/6, Brian- 6/1 (Thats a big difference, 1/6 means very likely).
BB9- Not sure what Mikey was at, but Rachel was at 7/1.

Odds don't mean anything, it's votes that count, the only thing the bookies have got right is when Alesha won SCD, she was fav to win for weeks.

Also Pete BB7 and Nadia BB5 were the otehr 2 times where the odds were correct.

yeah, them as well. I was just talking and recently lol. IMO, Diana is still a strong fav to win, if it is true, Diana has topped the voting nearly every week, except week 1 and last Saturday.

They're right about as much as they're wrong. They don't invent the odds, its who the public think will win.

I don't take much notice of them though.

According to the bookies - and they've been right far more frequently than wrong during Big Brother 9 - Mikey is set to triumph with odds of 8/11.

Although Rachel is pretty hot on his tail at 10/3

she was 10/3 at this place
