Helen bought me my original PS4 and Trump bought me my PS4 Pro. I'm dreading the PS5 release and the horrible things that will have to happen for me to buy it .

I got her at 25-1

so how much did you win?

[Denver]

I win money aslong as Jedward get top 3

[sampvt]

The smart money this year went early on JC, then it shifted to Kim now its back to Jedward. The bookies have been so wrong this year its hard to find a bet that makes sence but in happy as I took an american to walk, Ray Hay obliged, I took Biance to reach the final and JC to win. I lost one bet on Austin to walk as he went early but my bets are all well covered and im in good profit allready. I still think 9/2 in places for JC is a great bet and I dont know why but i cant see the GBP voting for Jedward, i honestly cant see them getting the middle of the road last minute voters and they have probably lost a lot of the granny votes as well this year due to the arguments.

The only time I have ever gambled was £20 on Vicky Pattison winning IAC

The thing is... by this logic, Ricky should easily have won summer BB and yet was beaten by Bear.

Shortening odds mean that more people are putting money towards that choice than not thus decreasing the value of that choice. Meaning the people that are betting towards that choice/target think that the event (win, eviction etc.) is more likely to happen than some of the the other choices that are available on the same betting target/choice.

Drifting odds meant that less people are putting money towards that choice/target than
some of the others. Meaning the people that are betting towards that choice/target think that the event (win, eviction etc.) is less likely to happen than some of the the other choices that are available on the same betting target/choice.

Coleen has overtaken Kim in the odds as the third favorite to win and is about to pass James C. (Already has on some of the markets)

I read somewhere that bookies can manipulate odds to make people think they're more likely to win, so people will bet on them? I hope Tim Booth does a winner prediction because he predicted Angies, Stacey, Jessica, and Calum's eviction.

[Calderyon]

^ Which of the odds do you think are manipulated?

What time do the markets close? When the finale show starts? before the lines close, or as close as before the last time the vote freezes?

[Denver]

Jedward have won

In basic terms yes, but with reality shows they're also watching the shows themselves and the press and adjusting accordingly. If someone has a great show / a lot of social media buzz they'll cut the odds quickly regardless of the money that's being placed. The odds setters are slow to react to social media though, and that's where you can win big, by betting before they notice the hype.

[Calderyon]

^ How do you know that?

You could be be right though. It might be true that they adjust the odds shortening/drifting parameters in the fly to avoid losses.

[Brother Leon]

I can live with Jedward losing to Kim. Maybe even Cosmo, but Coleen... hell no.

I think he is wrong though. He was wrong about Speidi winning.
