The bookies are trying to invite a few mug bets on Callum by shortening his odds to make it look close but the GBP will vote tonight and as we all know, they are not forum members, they are ma and pa voters with memories of the home wrecker trying to play it down but it wont work. Also she has become really dull of late and offers nothing to the show. Everyone loves to see Callum and Dexter at it so Hazel is expendable.

Everyone at BB hq right down to the script writers know how its going as they need to plan the questions and program highlights in advance and even Emma has said in the past...IT IS CLOSE.... how would she know this.

In saying that, don't you think in this modern age of texts etc, that one of the production team wouldn't send a quick text to a mate to stick some dosh on whoever. Remember last year when one girl got sacked for telling her boyfriend that placed loads of bets all over Banbury. He made 65,000, she lost her job and said afterwards that at least 50 people knew how the votes were going.

Do you not think William Hills don't have ears in that office.......the odds for VTE are never wrong. The VTS is a bit more difficult to predict though so they sometimes get it wrong.

Whats happening today is the crafty bookies are using a herring bait for the book. They falsely shorten Callums odds to make people think he is being lumped on and to do this they must put the twins or dexter bigger. In reality they are inviting sucker bets for no return and punters bite.

When you go to the horse track, watch a horse that's dropping like flies and shortening dramatically, mug punters follow it and bet thinking that the boys in the know have bet it and the horse comes nowhere. The bookies have just conned you by offering a @STEAMER@ when it had no chance. Tonight's steamer is callum. Save your money and back Hazel, she is certain to go, trust the Oracle, I've never been wrong before on the VTE.
