OMFG



Nah actually I don't really care.

[rsefitpro2011]

I hope Deana wins but I still get a feeling that Luke A or Adam may come out triumphant!

[Apple202]

She and Luke A are very tight though, it could definitely go either way.

I agree! I think the winner will be one of these two!

Why is it that last week when Deana was fav, all her fans were shouting from the rooftops. Then she went second fav and the bookies were tossers and clueless. Now she is fav again and all of a sudden the bookies are the all powerful Oracle again. I cant understand some of these people that change their views like others change their underpants.

Yes, because this actually happened.

I don't think I've ever given a toss about bookies odds.

I never take them into account. Shanaze was 100% getting us a gold medal in the BMX the other day and she came 6th... never pay attention tbh.

Does it really matter who the favourite is?

The bookies are rarely right when it comes to winning Big Brother.

No, it doesn't really. I have always prefered my favourites not to be bookie favourites as it feels like it jinxes their chance of winning.

It doesn't matter who has been topping votes or not or been bottom of the pile. Look at Jay last year, almost a goner in some evictions, yet second in the final, because that is when the votes matter, and casual viewers might decide to vote, plus some wait to see if their favourites make the final before shelling out on votes in the final only, so that is why the final can be harder to predict the winner in some cases.

C'mon Adam!

[MeMyselfAndI]

and it feels like jealousy..(8)

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I'm hoping the bookies are wrong & any of other 4 win tbh

Yes Aaron wasn't favourite to win last year, but you have to bear in mind that last year was the first time "vote to save" had been brought in, so bookies we're still gettin to grips with that format. They couldnt get their heads around Aaron having such a large fanbase, yet getting boo's every week. I think this year, bookies have worked out that people like Aaron and Deana can go far, and win.
This is why Deana is favourite/joint favourite with the bookies this year.

Vote to save has always been used for the fiinals of BB though. Vote to evict was only used leading up to the final.

I know this.

I'm just saying, under a vote to evict policy, people like Aaron and Deana wouldn't have made the final.

Therefore liked, yet hated housemates, like those 2, make it to the final these days, and the bookies don't know how to handle it.

Yes, big personalites generally get evicted on VTE which is why Deana and Aaron would be very different characters in VTE I suspect

Also because Sara's odds are a bit longer less people will put serious money on her winning so the bookies will turn a profit if she wins. It's basically in bookies interest if anyone other than Deana or LukeA wins

Do bookies watch big brother? I thought the odds were based on the amount of money put on bets?

It is mainly based on the amount of money people put on bets yeh. But they do keep an eye on the show too I'd imagine, they'd be mad not too with thousands of pounds at stake.

I can't get my head around the amount of money some people are willing to part with to be proved right. If Deana wins, a week from now it will be Deana who? and a lot of peoples wallets will be much lighter.

Come on Deana!
