Brian's not going to have any chance if it's just him and the twins left in the house on Friday.

Taking an average across the bookies, since lunchtime the twins' odds have slipped fractionally from 1.37 to 1.40. Brian's have also slipped fractionally from 3.19 to 3.20. Liam's have shortened slightly from 12.4 to 12.0. Nothing particularly surprising there. When odds shorten rapidly over 1 or 2 days there will be a slight back corrective at some point. You could call it an "elasticity" effect.

However the general trend is still forward for the twins (mostly blue on oddschecker) and still backward for both Liam and Brian (mostly pink).

I want Samanda 2 win and Liam to come second. The bookies have inside information, the twins are stil fav to win, so I am thinking they are a head of the vote.

Just keep thinking that and they will loose

Don't just think it, act on it

Please report to the boot camp to get into shape so we can get the twins into the winners circle.

Also make sure your telephone is in working order, you will need it.

You could have got 77/1 on the Zig man when I predicted his victory 6-7 weeks ago. I hope you all put your pennies on.

Pennies are about all that bet is worth. But it's worth more now than it was 6-7 weeks ago. 77/1, you say? Well, you could get 101/1 from Stan James right now.

Are you sure you know what you're doing, gamblingwise? I reckon they saw you coming, mate.

It was the same post where I predicted the final 6, 100% correctly (including Jonty, who hadn't even entered).

I find your lack of faith disturbing, Terpsichore.

Whatever I do with those pennies, I'm bound to end up with more of them than you. If I'd been so rash as to buy into a falling market, I certainly wouldn't be bragging about it six weeks later when my stock had fallen by 1/3 of its original value. Are you related to Tim Nice But Dim?

Apologies for taking a while to reply Terpsichore, I was busy counting my winnings from predicting the final 6, 100% correctly. Now, where were we…

Oooo, touchy. Yes, as you’ve informed me, Ziggy’s odds have taken a sudden fall, whereas they’ve been on a slight rise since those dark days of 77/1 back in July, have they not? Ah well, I’ve had my feet up where that one’s concerned, I’m happy with the (considerable) profit I’ll make, but it’s certainly interesting to see how late that late surge is actually going to be. Even all powerful Jedi can’t predict everything, to the last detail. Those odds really are rather good, aren’t they?.....but….you stick with the twins Terpsichore, that’s where the safe money is.

I sure they had better odds a few days ago

According to Coral

Amanda and Sam 1/3
Brian 5/2
Liam 12/1
Ziggy 50/1
Carole 50/1
Jonty 66/1

Amanda and Sam's odds are lengthening from how I read it

Did they peak too soon

Remember Kara lost out to jony by a measly 0.1%

Taking an average across all bookies on oddschecker both yesterday and today, we have:

xxxxxxx26th 27th
Twins - 1.42 1.33
Brian - 3.22 3.32
Liam - 12.0 12.90

As you see, the twins' odds have shortened still further since yesterday, and both Brian's and Liam's have lengthened. And the forecast is that that trend will continue for a while, probably for another day or so, with twins continuing to advance, and the other two drifting.

It's definitely landslide time according to the bookies, but there's no guarantee that this reflects the reality. Those figures represent gamblers' perception, not public perception. Not trying to frighten anyone, but a cautionary word is needed. It's the public, not the gamblers, who will be doing the voting this week. Fingers crossed.

Don't let the odds given lure twin supporters into a false sense of security. They have not won it yet and they could still loose if we let them.

Keep dialling.
