Ironically, Paddy Power is the only bookmaker offering odds on there at the moment :)

Don't they close the book each week until the runners and riders are announced? I.e. post nominations.

The only reason you like this series is because you want it to be good, because its the last, so you have started to believe this **** is good.

hahaha you fail at life its a great series and people are really enjoying it as is reflected in the viewing figures but your not bright enough to enjoy anything other than fighting or arguing believe it or not thats not what most people want to see.
if people wanted to see a bunch of morons fighting and arguing in a staged and rehearsed manner then the real world would interest more people than it does.

Someone posted this at another forum and I agree with it completely....

The thing is, with BB9 there was a clear divide in the house from almost the get go because of the luxury and B Block rooms. There was a lot more white trash like Denis to cause a real rukus.

BB10 also a divide from early on with Freddie and Marcus v.s. Karly's group. You had a lot of hot heads as well and weirdos like Angel and then the Noirin thing.

This year, there are a lot of neutral middle people a lot like Sophie. But even Sophie had bitches about Freddie.

Iffy, Steve, Nathan, Josie, Camoihhaha (what a weird name), and ,Mario are all neutrals who I really don't think will develop into big characters and the only reason Noirin became interesting was because everyone wanted to bang her. This season, the only bangable one was harrassed and voted out of the house on week 1.

and the people left like Sunstroke, Dave, Govan, Shabby are all just blah in terms of entertainment. You just want them off the screen. Least with people like Denis and Jen we got huge fights. and there are no real instigators like Rex or Marcus/Freddie to light stuff up except JJ and he does a **** job at it.

The only two people who are decent are Ben and Corin and Ben will be voted out cause the Brits hate really good looking women and anyone posh.

I don't see this season picking up steam unless they throw in some good intruders in a few weeks.

There are no real controversial characters this year to instigate stuff like there were the past few seasons.

I am not sure if this is the case, but it sounds reasonable.

well, clearly I did.. not like I woke up this morning and assumed they had stopped. I'm sad in many ways, but not that sad :P

looks like it was just a website thing then.

Most of the Bookmakers suspend their BB markets overnight. The do this in case something significant goes down and they get stuck in the wrong odds when they've nobody around to respond.
