Bets and bookies cant influence the results mate, its more a case of the insiders making a few quid.
2 Years ago a young lad on the production team texted his mates that someone was well in the lead to be evicted (forgot who) but his mates stupidly laid loads of bets on this person with Ladbrokes and they made a massive killing. Ladbrokes refused to pay out and he was arrested and sacked.
Betfair are the ones to watch as they are not private odds compilers, they are punter v punter and these odds are the best to look at.
All this crap about nobody knowing who is being voted for is rubbish. Emma and Rylan have been heard on tv loads of times saying its really close, before the vote ends, so how do they know this. Also the best guide to winning is 10 mins before the vote freezes, that's when the smart money goes down.
Look at Odds checker tonight and see what the odds are just before the result and hit the fav, if they will let you. Most high street bookies have a cap on amounts bet if they are running scared because they cant shut the betting down as this would smack of insider info going to them, which it does so they limit their odds and cap bets to limit damage.
Last year I had 34 bets and won 29 of them and made good money. This year my bets are looking good but I am heavily laid out on Patsy to walk and Perez to get to the final but either Hoppo or cheggars to win but I have a very good bet at very big odds for Callum to reach the final 3. I very rarely bet on who will be evicted, that's a vegas line donkey bet.
