Plenty of Bookies have gone bankrupt.
And Bookies do not want the favourite to win.

Who said anything about Bookies wanting favourites to win ?

They simply calculate the odds accordingly

They always want the fav to lose. There will be massive liabilities on the fav.

An Ali win would be so bad for BB

…. and in the real world …

Sometimes it can. Just checked now and on oddschecker Ali’s at around 73% odds and Marcello 18%, so the gap has widened after that ep (which I haven’t seen yet so idk why.) If Ali’s odds stay that high and she doesn’t win then they’ll have really gotten it wrong!

That's my point, Ali is winning no matter what.

Painfully predictable,and a horrible result:bored:.

Helen winning at 13.3% and even Luke at just over 20, shows it’s not a complete dead cert. It’s when some Cody reaches 70+% they become a dead cert imo.

The thing that's different now though is you only get 5 votes at a time
That removes the high level of extra phone voting there was before.
When you could hammer your phones endlessly voting for someone or against someone too.

This app voting limits the amount of votes cast now.
Plus the opportunity to target even probably.

I'd be happy with Hanah, Marcello or Emma winning it. I wouldn't mind Nathan either as he has been entertaining but his showmance and nastiness at times has brought him down.

Segun and Ali should be nowhere near it. Neither have brought any humour or entertainment to the house. Segun is a nice guy but spineless and Ali is straight up awful.

that order shows nathan and segun with the lowest votes which ties in with them being bottom 4 in the vault :laugh:

I suspected that, but then I'm kept thinking Nathan was higher up.

For anyone unsure …

You have to pay £11 in order to possibly win £4 - betting on Ali

No you can’t use the odds for the finishing order. They rarely reflect that.

Can I ask Benjamin, is there any one bookies that tends to be more accurate than the others? I know they all seem to offer slightly different odds

Not really. They tend to all have very similar odds.

Slight tangent but I think OddsChecker assimilates ALL the other bookies’s odds together to give an overall view on things

Correct. It will show you all the bookies odds for a housemate if you expand it. Odds checker will show you the one which will give you the best return out of all of them unless you expand it.

Oh thank you both, I didn’t realise that! I’ve been mostly focusing on oddschecker, so good to know that’s probably the best way to do it

All we can really take from the odds are that Nathan and Segun are unlikely to win. All the rest of them reflect the money placed on them, which in a system consisting of limited free votes, points to corresponding likely outcomes. It's not possible these days to swamp vote for one house mate, so the odds are far more likely to reflect reality than they did when you had to pay to vote

10/1 for Ali to win and Hanah to come 2nd is generous

See it's changed again, except for Ali of course.

I've put a bet on Marcello to soften the blow by £35 if he wins. :laugh:
