Betscam theory
 

Would you climb over to roof and leave the house for 25,000 EUR (21,521£), or maybe more important question would Kenneth do it ? :)

Paddy Power had bet going on:
One housemate to climb on the roof of the Big Brother house and escape x/x.
Prelaunch Odds were around 10/1 if I remember correctly but before yesterday odds were down to 6/1.

Where did I get that 25,000 EUR, it's from Paddy Power help:
Non-Sport Events excluding Lottery Any bet which includes a selection for non-sport/racing event such as a song contest, political contest, elections etc. will be subject to a maximum payment of 25,000 EUR.

I dont think ken would bother for that...

That sort of money is nowt to a millionaire...

maybe Ken put £1,000,000 on it??

Well, it could be done rather easily, spread out over 10 people, you could get 250k. Give them each 5% and you're left with 125k yourself.

The hard part would be planning ahead, that should PP or another bookie make that bet available after Ken entered the house, to let Ken know to go ahead and do it.

How would that information get communicated to Ken?

More importantly, who would be on the hook for that money if Ken didn't receive the information and failed to exit on time.

Interesting topic, but I think it's a bit too much for them (Ken & Co.) to pull off successfully.

That bet has been available since launchnight.
