Default Bookmakers refusing to give odds for Friday.

What, I wonder, do they know that we don't?

Why would they give odds for who's going to go in the secret house, not like it's an actual eviction so it isn't really worth it

They give odds on a two horse race, don't they?

As far as I know odds only ever get offered on evictions and the outright winner, even then only a few bookies bother

...and bookies don't give odds if there is a whiff of suspicion about the result.

Bet 365,s helpline said the odds are only for the winners and evictions. This week is a Big Brother twist so no odds are available. These twists can be changed at BB,s behesk by influential edits so odds can be influenced by them meaning no bookie will offer odds if the outcome can be changed by their internal influences.

Betfair were offering odds last night on the first out of the house on Friday but they have taken them off. Incidentally both Gina and Dexter were odds on with Gina slightly lower than Dexter. Dan and Wolfy were over 3 and 4/1 at that time.

The general consensus of opinions out there on twitter, the forums and what some bookies were offering yesterday is that Gina and Dexter are to share the secret task, so lets see what happens.

Personally tonights show will tell us more as to BB,s aims by virtue of their edits and storylines. If Wolfy has been made to come across well in her edits, you can be sure Dan will get his 15 mins of fame tomorrow night. I am expecting positive edits for the chosen 2 and Dexter and Gina will be thrown under a bus because BB want Wolfy in there for longer and their worth in the secret bedroom would be stronger for the prods over the next few weeks as opposed to Dex and Gina.

Only time will tell but it makes no difference anyhow as BB are going to do what they want and ignore public voters
