If fat cow Dee wins,I,m never watching big brother again
 

punters are reportedly putting a load on Dee to win, according to bookies.dont like the sound of that, the bookies are spoiling everything.:shrug:

Better than Gary

The bookies finally come in handy! They know where it's at

She won't.

How incredibly rude of you to call her a fat cow.

Erm.....what do the bookies have to do with this? they have absolutely no effect on the result whatsoever.

If Dee doesn't get enough votes then she won't win.

Unless the suggestion is that big gamblers are mass voting. If that is the case then the votes should be discounted. They definitely have the means of doing that.

Is it an inaccurate statement?

In my eyes, yes it is.

They don't have any way of discounting votes from people who place bets. They'd have to track down thousands of telephone numbers or app users.

Yes, very rude! It's not fair to the cows! :nono:

:umm2:

i think the only way she will win is if she comes into diary room and says she is playing gary by making up with him. that would be classic - the actor being acted on. and by someone unemployed.

It would be a travesty if she won

Which bit is wrong?

For heavens sake. I'm not even going to get into this argument.

It would indeed Kazanne,now she would be one of the worst ever winners of any series.

The worst Joey,the worst.:wavey:

It has been amusing to watch the forums over the last 14 years, as people have no clue how bookmakers odds work. They get told year after year and yet still come on the following year saying the same things.

Here's a quick crash course for the uninitiated:

Bookmakers do not know who will win an event. They can make an educated guess and they set the initial odds in a book according to that guess. But they make the book in such a way that, in general, they won't lose. It is called an "over round" book. Any result winning should see a profit for the bookie.

Then, after the initial book is formed, the odds then shift according to the bets placed.

Here is an example. If I walked in ladbrokes tomorrow and put a £10,000 bet on Ricci to win at 50-1, then Ricci would immediately become the odds-on favourite, because making him favourite would be the only way the bookies could attempt to keep the book profitable.

It is a simplistic example but it is the fundamental point. The bookies know nothing. Just remember the night Ulrika won and the bookies had her to leave first.

It isn't an argument. I simply asked which part of the "fat cow" statement was wrong. You declared it was inaccurate.

So either you think Dee isn't fat or you think she isn't a cow. The fact you won't further elaborate on your position, speaks volumes.

Agree.

I don't like Dee myself. But throwing around remarks like "fat cow" is really rude.

Is there a rule here that we can't be rude to housemates?

Nope, I didn't say there was a rule. Just voicing my opinion.

If punters are putting a lot of money on her to win , then they are going to throw a lot of votes her way,It would! be a travesty If she won, If she,s the best britain has to offer, god help us

She won't win tho

What a nasty title!

Excuse me? I said that calling Dee a "fat cow" was rude, because it is. Nobody wants to be called that, especially someone who isn't around defend themselves. Dee is neither of those things, so the OP's thread title in my eyes is rude.

Thank you for saying that. The other day far worse things said and I felt so angry, disgusted, shocked, you name it, I reported it. Just not acceptable behaviour.can be a lot of reasons for being over weight, not just food.

True tbh.

I will never say never again after the bully Helen won, but really can''t see Dee winning.

Yes! Leave Ermintrude alone!

Like she,s rude to gary you mean, I,ll bet she,s been called a lot worse than that.

I know. I just expanded on it for the benefit of the people who seem to think Dee will win just because her odds are dropping.

I agree with you.

Is an obese person any better ?

I'm shocked at some of the posts from newer members this series. Appalling.

Is Dee obese.?

You're excused.

I disagree. I think it is an accurate statement that is much tamer than the bile that Dee has aimed at people.


If you don't want to be judged then don't enter a popularity contest.

Nobody here can speak for Dee. She might not mind people having their opinion.
Wait....you are actually suggesting that Dee isn't fat???

People enter reality shows to be judged on their personality, not on the way they look, this isn't Britain's Next Top Model.

Aye. Just obese was what is PC. Ie fat.

I can judge them however I like.

They are happy to judge Gary for his disabilities.

And anyway, being fat does reveal Dee's laziness and greed. Not to mention that the word "cow" IS a judgement of Dee's personality.

Did you criticise Edele when she called Dee's caller a cow?

This is the most silliest comment of the night.

That show is a reality show.
