Default Massive bets rumour

Could it be true. Have the BB staff slow walked Gina to the final for personal gain. The peoples open betting group betfair showed massive bets on gina in the first week even after she was in conflict with Sallie and well hated by the public. her odds were massive when the bets were laid. From memory (which could be wrong) she was 66/1 to win or 14/1 to make the final 3.

If this is true it might marry up with the fact that BB are being nice to the bookies and giving them info before releasing it to the public. This morning we are all still waiting for their decision about Sophie and Ginas cheating but the bookies must have been prompted first as they have the odds up without sam. Why couldn't BB have just put a post up o the website to inform the very people they need the support of to run the show THE PUBLIC AND FANS but no, they choose to treat us like nobs again.

In fact it wouldn't surprise me if someone in the production team wasn't making shed loads of cash by betting last minute due to personal knowledge of the voting figures. Look at how Callums odds dived after he was bet upon in very large sums. It taks a lot of money to move a mans odds from 4/1 to 6/4 and someone made a mint on that one. Sounds very fishy to me especially after last years fiasco when people got sacked for leaking stuff.

It gets even more fishy, Sam is now back in the betting.

Now sam is back up and all William hill will say is that they were given the names of the evictees this week this morning and it was changed a short time ago. I rang them to ask if they would refund my bet on the twins as Sam was now in the mix or give me bigger odds due to another person in the mix. They offered to refund me. Even they don't know whats going on as they will have to refund all bets placed on these 4 if Sophie goes up or sam gets saved tonight. BB have made themselves look like idiots and the bookies are not happy.

In fact a long time back (round the BB5/BB6 period) I think someone in their office got into trouble after admitting it. Not anything furtive, just that they'd be putting bets on, only for the reaction be like this was tantamount to insider trading! Even if they didn't do it themselves they'll still text a mate and get them to put a bet on.

It's disgraceful human nature. And pretty sensible, really.

These people in the production are not Saints.They are greedy bastards as any crooks in the country.They plotted for Gina to win and already may have bet for her to win long time ago and this is why the panel,audiences and clips all favoured Gina.Orchestration was in action for them to get a bit richer quickly.But they got a pie on the face when Gina self destruct herself with Hazel and now they are panicking as they are going to lose their bet.Last BB I am watching. next one they can shove their game show up their ass.

Wow, yes! the producers have plotted from Day 1 to get Gina this far!! it has absolutely nothing to do with the public saving her three times and her not being nominated for eviction every other week she wasn't up!

Don't worry, I'll be perfectly fine with whatever place she finishes because she's in the final and thats all I could hope for.

Typical stereotype answer for all the loosers in the past.......yeah but she to the final bla bla bla. B.OLLOCK.S She is a looser now and was at the beginning, don't even try to tell me the prods have not brought her along because you are the only one on the planet that thinks that. She is a skank and why you are supporting her in the face of everything we all know is beyond me but to close, why don't you troll someone else, I am getting bored. you are following me round like a bad smell.

She's made it to the end of the programme run, she's hardly lost. The real losers have been ousted within a few weeks.

Wow. You're a very angry person aren't you? You're actually calling me a troll too...yeah, okay then. I guarantee I am not the only person who will be happy with her just making it to the final.

OP may I address your concerns
I have nothing to do with BB
I backed Gina heavily the day after she survived against Sallie
The forum polls, started after sallies eviction, had her as the fans favourite, yet the bookies hadn't reacted and still had her at 40/1
So I had a bet, no secret info or conspiracy....

As for callum, he was 8/1 when I read on the forums he was going loopy on the live feed
So I stuck Ł on him to go, the bookies were again slow to react, it was only after his behaviour was shown on the highlights show, that his odds started to tumble
So again, just informed betting....

This is a crucially important point!

The way things are going the bookies (under the fair gaming laws) will be allowed to state ALL BETS ARE OFF.

Unless they are given the correct information the odds given (at the time of placing the bet) could be drastically affected by LACK of information - i.e They were not told who was actually up (at the time of placing the bet).

What I am saying is this - the odds with 4 members up will be significantly different to the odds with say 6 members up. If BB now decide 6 members are up they better say so quickly or they will be is serious trouble with the bookies.

What an out and out fiasco..just because BB did not set the parameters at the time of nominations up clearly...RANK AMATEURS..

It is a complete fiasco & BB should have had it sorted out by now.

If BB try to wriggle out of this by declaring a re-vote with all the rules observed - GUESS WHAT...the housemates will all vote in exactly the same way as last night and therefore nothing will be changed and the bookies will be fine about it.

HOWEVER we will all know that it was unfair and that Sophie and Gina should have been told they were up for carrying on voting...WELL DONE BB...
