What a difference a few days make:

Corin sinking faster than the Titanic. I still wouldn't put money on JJ tho!!!

Zippy 10-07-2010 07:30 PM

Siavash came 2nd last year.

Thats all the proof I need to know that BB voters are idiots.

vesavius 10-07-2010 07:31 PM

Just an indicator, and no gaurentee of things, as we all know, but a strong one that can't be taken lightly.

I guess the 89 or so % couldnt be ignored.

Yes. Coming second is actually the worst position IMO. You have to stay in there right to the very end...get all worked up with nerves....think youre gonna win....then, WOOSH, youve...LOST. Now **** off while we give £100,000 to the winner!

Nobody gives a sh!t about whether you come 2nd, 5th or 9th. You get sod all.

yeah, stuck a bit on her as soon as her VT stopped rolling.

I don't think she will win though... she's strong right now but a big cartel will stick a stack on one of the back runners in the last 10 days and get their people to hit the phones no doubt.

I had him as top male ;)

That is a shame, he is an aggressive person obsessed with working out the BB game, that he some what spoils the show and the plot altogether.

Shiloh 10-07-2010 07:43 PM

Are the odds reliable?? Like I mean was Sophie last year the favourite to win? And Siavash to come 2nd?? Or are the results usually completely different? I've just never really paid attention to the odds.

I never positively bet on winner as there are too many variables, including walkouts, twists, blow-ups. I do tinker with betfair lay/bet just to make money on the movement margins but that's just a game for me. JJ is starting to look a good lay proposition at the moment as I'm sure he'll fade very soon.

Zippy 10-07-2010 07:54 PM

Theres a long way to go. Odds change after incidences shown on the HL show. JJ has been fave before at some point. Then he slipped to 5th.

Im sure he'll **** up again.

Usually the odds on winner are completely unreliable cos much of the money has been staked weeks before, and events have moved-on come finals week. It's a kinda 'snapshot' mid-series of where people are putting their money rather than their mouth. That was the only reason I brought it up rather than to say JJ will even reach the final.

I think Corin moving from fave and sinking faster than the Tiranic is the more telling indicator.

Which is why I'm thinking of laying heavily on JJ on Betfair - an easy margin to be had methinks Zipster.

nah, they arnt.

Where ever there is gambling there is fixing and corruption, and BB is no different (maybe even worse due to lack of general awareness).

I see a back runner getting it, not JJ.

Keely FTW :joker:

(That's just testosterone talking as I like short attractive blondes!!!! I'm sure she's an utter twat!

Zippy 10-07-2010 08:07 PM

Im thinking Andrew could be a potential winner if he plays his cards right. He is the ultimate opposition to JJ.

I'm guessing he'll get far as he's "different". The kinda phenomenon that Ben and before him Halfass got.

Andrew will also benefit from the 'mumsy' instinct which got that Welsh prat all the way to 2nd in BB7

I still hope that Josie will win:), if not then her getting to the final at least will be great;).

Unless she makes a HUGE error, she'll be in final 3. People have seen enough now to know she's a good 'un

Bigbrofan25 10-07-2010 08:22 PM
