If you have so much "Intel" then why does it even bother you? I'm guessing you don't have sources and are pissed off because this you've possibly bet on the wrong housemates going this year and have lost money?

There is no golden gang either just because people wanted to know where you got your sources from there's no need to jump on the defensive. Noones attacking you we just all have different opinions and views on the show that's what makes a good forum ��
Firstly you dont know me from a bar of soap but i can assure you, I dont lose money on BB. On the first week of this series I published 3 bets before anyone had a real handle on things. One of those bets that was put out there for all to see was Suckvinder to walk at a very big odds. So that rubbished that idea and as for the rest of your analogy, specsavers is a word i might use.

Honestly the way you try and call individual people out yet moan constantly about how you're being ganged up on or whatever is so boring. You posted "According to different sources", I asked what those sources were. No need to constantly be on the defensive.

In Civvi BB there simply isnt enough votes coming in to make a viable and secure fan base favoured vote, it will not do the job its intended to do. In CBB the VTS works as they all have fan bases. Civvi BB needs VTE then we can get rid of people like Joe.

VTS in Civvi BB promotes lackadaisical attitudes in voting, plus many wont spend the cash for a show thats not even representing the publics views.

Vote to evict got far less votes after Nikki got let back in during BB7. So they don't get much money from either now.

Vote to save is better as it encourages the producers to cast better in future, rather than just stereotypes for people to hate, and in turn that would encourage the return of live feed.

I can definitely believe that. I used to vote multiple times pretty much every week. Then I voted to evict Nikki...the producers didn't like the result so let her back in (eligible to win as well IIRC) and from then on the producers started manipulating very obviously to get the result they wanted. Yes they probably did it to some extent before that too but it wasn't blatant in your face obviousness.

They really ****ed themselves over by trying to ignore what the public wanted like. I do think the endless 'twists' since it went to c5 will be putting people off voting too. If it was a simple nominate, most noms up...people vote. Person with least/most votes leaves rather than what we have then I think more people would actually vote instead of just whining about the results

That was the key really. Though it would have annoyed people seeing her back anyway. At least being back as a guest had precedent with John in BB4. But also importantly they brought her back for her showmance and for the post-show promotion they intended to give her, it was all too obvious in the end.

Most BB shows i develop stronger feelings about those i start to dislike and for this reason prefer VTE and should one of the former be up i am far more inclined to vote.

A forum poll might prove interesting ? VTS or VTE.

Didnt say they had. Ive got an account and can call my odds compilers and if they want to, they offer odds. I asked for 6 bets this year and was allowed 3 which i took, refused 2 and the last one was crap odds so i left it. Hope this clears that up.

I'm not trolling I just find it spooky how similar we are. I've also made thousands on bb in this series alone.

If you go back to my post on the 9th of this month, nearly 3 weeks ago, i posted these bets after i backed them

http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...231&highlight=

Ones paid out at pretty good odds, Kieran could come in but i am still very confident about Charlotte as she has staying power over ellie, her only real opposition. Im not counting chanelle because i fear she will be ejected and the barsteward odds compilers at Paddy Power wont give me odds on it, lol.

I don't think Charlotte will be top female if it stays VTS all series. if it reverts back to VTE then quite possibly.

Or if she actually comes out of her shell theres a chance too as she seems a nice girl, just too quiet for BB

Also Chanelle won't be ejected for anything. They will protect her at all costs. Even to the extent of totally hiding something she does (like the crap in the freezer thing in bb12) so they don't have to remove her

I'm tempted to place a bet on Charlotte to be fair though I find her one of the most boring housemates ever! She has Sam BB14 vibes going on.

I think BB has almost become too trashy for it's audience. I enjoy BB but Lotan's pecs and Chantelle's bum are not what I'm watching it for. I think the bimbo/bimbette element of BB has been exhausted and personally find it boring. Maybe that's why people aren't voting, I know I haven't this series, no one I find interesting enough to spend money on.
