Default Biggest ever Big Brother bet

From The Sun

A WHOPPING £32,000 bet has been placed on Nicky to be evicted from the Big Brother house on Friday – which will only pay out a tiny £320 if she goes.

It’s the biggest ever single bet on BB that bookmaker Paddy Power has taken, but has odds of just 1/100.

Bookies have now reduced the odds to 1/200 – the shortest price of any housemate ever to get the boot.

A Paddy Power spokesman said: “I think it’s safe to say that the only people shouting for Gerry to be evicted tomorrow night will be the bookies! A bet of this size illustrates how the Big Brother Show has developed into a serious betting event.”

Is it me or does this make sense to anyone?

It's not the most obvious, but it's pretty obvious. Our beloved Nicky will leave tomorrow.

Maybe they wanted £320.

It's an easy way to make money, really. It'd be hilarious if Gerry went tomorrow.

Thats profesional punters for you.The term they use is,''buying money''.Shes a cert to go so they give the bookies there money for a night or two and,in this case earn £320,not bad for a nights work i guess.
