Well, there is some truth to what you say. Bookie's odds fluctuate based on the bets that people are placing. If more people place bets for Freddie, his odds will move towards being the favorite. If more people are placing bets on others, his odds will move away from being the favorite.

The problem with using this as a true gauge is that:

1. Not all viewers will place a bet. I certainly haven't nor has anyone I know in real life.

2. Only votes with C4 will count. I have certainly voted with C4. So while I have not influenced the betting odds, I have directly influenced the outcome of the eviction nominations.

3. People bet for different reasons and sometimes people bet on the longshot because of the odds they can get.
