After another self imposed sabbatical (no I've not been serving time at her majesty's pleasure), the current prices would suggest that now is an ideal time to wet my toe in the murky waters of the specials markets once again.
I appreciate that my winner's radar has been defective for a while, and I usually tend to see markets differently to most people, but this one currently sees me standing alone. (which is slightly unnerving giving my most recent attempts)
From very early on, I could see only two of the housemates as the Endemol "rubber stamped" winners, and have seen nothing to alter that view, except for the massive drift in prices and the views of the forum.
Their prices have even drifted more since I took them yesterday, forcing me to foolishly take some more.
Backed 16.0 - 21.0
Steve was always the obvious choice to be ramped in the edits, and I still feel that this will have a massive impact going into the final days of the series. There will not be a servicemans family in the country who will not try to help the war hero across the finishing line at the end. Also the people who come in at the final shows to see the outright winner, they will only see a wounded hero showing how brave he is just by being in there, they will not see alleged pervy moments with Keeley much earlier in the series.
Backed 6.00
Josie is that rare woman in the BB house, one that the normal female population can identify themselves with. Overweight and conscious of it, inwardly lacking self belief and confidence, while outwardly portraying a confident persona in order to protect herself. She feels unworthy of JJ, yet still tries her heart out to win his affections. Again protecting her own feelings by occasionally saying that she does not really fancy him.
She has a wicked sense of humour and a very endearing nervous laugh.
The fact that she does not allow JJ to walk all over her will give her much kudos among her female brethren.
The fact that I came on here thinking that these two housemates would be the favourites shows just how warped my mind is. I would like to say though, that I cannot have JJ being favourite as I honestly think that I have more chance of winning than he does.
While Corin appears to be very popular (and I like her), I just do not see the women voters being able to identify with her like they could with Josie.
PS I do realise that Steve could be vulnerable as he is up this week, but I have never let facts get in the way of me spouting my b0llox in the past, so do not intend starting now.
Hope you are all well, and please feel free to tell me how much of an idiot I am.

Steve for Top Male at 11.0 was very unexpected, but very much appreciated. I'm just in and guessing from the odds Steve's not involved in the eviction shake up, bonus.
More time to focus on the big guy, and hopefully one step closer to the home videos.
Have I missed much?

It would not be the first time I was wrong about something armagnac, and it certainly would not be the last.
Not sure if I am wrong yet though, and very happy with current position after waiting so long to get involved.

shame you was'nt about from the start, i have a feeling there is some very decent greens screen out there..mine is ok for an amatuer
I would have backed both Steve and Josie at much shorter, so definitely glad I was not around.
Would probably have been happy to have Steve at around 7.0 in the outright, so getting him at three times that price, and 11.0 for top male is making me moist.
I would possibly have dabbled on ben as he had the possibilty of ataining cult status, but he has been in self destruct mode for a little while now.
I could not have had any of the rest with somebody else;'s money.
The old hands on here who know how to play the game will be sitting with green.

josie was a steal at 13 ish from week 1 to trade, very funny from the off...not anymore though, to loved up
Hi PAKEY,
Just a bit concerned by your timing really. Steve really was a high risk punt. He's saved himself this week - but it was a seat of the pants job.
Josie - well she is marmite defined. Love her or hate her - no middle ground.
I was a big green on Ben earlier on, but my book is level now. Concentrating on the eviction markets where I'm doing quite well.
GL with your bets mate.

Hi Kitten, hope you are well mate.
I honestly think that the further Steve goes, the harder he will be to beat, and that the only one with the possibility of doing it is Josie.
Unless the geek gets cult status.
Nice to hear you are green.
Get Kat Out etc

You're flogging a dead horse as far as Rapey Steve is concerned but it's your money.
Good luck.
Good luck.
Thanks selkirk, been told I was flogging a dead horse many times in the past. That's probably why most of my winners have originally been backed at odds in the twenties and thirties, while others were backing the supposed good thing favourites.
best of luck to you also, who is your money on?

Steve (and Dave) are extreme red for me. Where do you think Steve's votes will come from Pakey? He's been a non housemate except for a few times (Keeley) where he came across as a jealous, slightly nasty perv.
Hi Henry
If he keeps his head under the radar and gets to the final stages, we will hear a lot more about his past and how he managed to lose his legs while serving his country. I think his will be the biggest impact if the family videos from home are shown, as he is the apparent rock/tough guy in there.
As stated previously, he will most definintely have the forces and their families voting for him as he is one of their own, and a hero.(we are fighting on two fronts at the moment)
On the finals nights, the viewing is bolstered by an awful lot of first timers and casual viewers, who would also be swayed (IMO) by a vote for the forces hero who made the massive sacrifice for his country, against the A N Other who is in these shows year after year.
It will not take much editing to put him in a good light or create a sympathetic vote, which is the angle that Endemol will come from (again IMO)
It's him and the frumpy, ordinary bird that the rest of the female population can identify with all the way for me.

The housemates dressed as brides makes the edit tonight I think, Steve in a wedding dress and his reaction should make a bit of an impact.
Steve's price suggests others may think along your lines Pakey. But I can't remember a worse poller - TIBB, DS - Favourite: 0.8%, 0.6% - Least Favourite: 16.5%, 17.8%.
He has been an extremely poor housemate. Endemol, who are continuing BB on Five, wouldn't give him any favours. He would have to rely on a campaign of non viewers, however I guess anything's possible, that's why it's good to discuss it. Bez had VOTE BEZ banners in ManU (although he was well known).

Would Steve really make a good standard bearer for the armed forces? He's no Simon Weston is he?
You probably knowmy thoughts on Digital Spy and their history of accuracy (or innaccuracy)in these markets Henry.
I firmly believe he picks up the floating voter who just tunes in because it is the finals night, but I could be talking nonsense again.
These discussions help us all to determine our positions and it's always nice to read the views of others.

He probably fits the bill of an average squaddie bunny, but regardless of our thoughts, he will be considered one of their own in the ranks.
Can't agree on either of these 2 Pakey.
Steve just too dull and many find him pervy.
Josie an awful self obsessed, manipulative fishwife with an appalling cackle of a laugh.
If her or psycho boy win this, then it's time to pack my bags and go.

I can't have her psycho boy either fll, and would be quite happy if he went earlier than expected.
I'm excited now as they are mentioning messages from home if they win the task.
Only one winner in that scenario for me, that's our forces hero.
The hard man melting will go down well.
You must have loved Corin being flanned in the diary room last night, it helped her cause a lot.

Don't waste your money Pakey. Can you imagine the messages from his pack of unwashed, stinking chav offspring?
It's hardly going to endear him to the public.
This is the last time I will tell you- he CANNOT WIN.

Hi Pakey
The problem for Steve is the show is on Ch4; your line 'There will not be a servicemans family in the country who will not try to help the war hero across the finishing line at the end' might well apply to an ITV viewing audience, but not a Ch4 one.
As for Josie, I've got her small green for all the reasons you say. Just can't see her winning tho. This is between John James and Corin imo.
Good luck tho, as always.
PS Rachel is the value if you can get 90+ [;)]

For what its worth pakey i totally agree with your two ( but ive only watched the last two weeks ) decided this year to get into bb late on.
Hi deejay
The services have their own newsletters, magazines and online forums where I would imagine that one of their own in any sort of national competition would be a topic of conversation, the fact he suffered such a loss while serving would help him no end.
Thanks Selkirk, but I'm a stubborn idiot when I think I'm onto something.
Check out the stats for previous series maiaze, and you will see the difference in the week in week out total audience figures compared to the last night/s.
The new viewer can have a very big say in this, and have a completely different take on the show to the die hards.
The edit towards the end will also determine a lot of views, and I can't see the putting the boot into Steve.

Well the market eventually seems to be waking up to our Josie, and if he avoids the negative vote, our Steve will be sure to follow.

For those interested, it seems strange that the first and third favourites are women, but you can back a female winner for small amounts between 2.38 and 2.54.
Did anybody partake?
Not really been around to chat too much this year, but think this is a fantastic BB.
The new Channel 5 owner would be stupid not to step in if the chance arises.

That Male/Female market is just strange or unwatched.
Just as when Corin was short priced fav and Josie third fav, you could back a female winner at odds against, now that Sam has hardened as favourite, you can back a male winner at odds against.
Not for a lot, but it's there if anybody wants it.

Apologies, should read
Oi gor a brrrran new grrreen scrrrreen in the outright, it's fillin me with glee
And all off the back off Josie at 2.6ish, will hopefully make it greener when Stevo's price drops.
Totally luvvin the markets at the moment, John James and Sam the two favourites to be evicted next, and yet they are both the favourites for Top Male
.
While big Stevo is still backable at about 8.0.

I backed originally at 11.0 squares, now hopefully laying him off lower if we can get rid of a couple of the market principals.
That was some fantastic horsy tipstering yesterday BTW, was originally going to add one of my own and stick on a lucky 15, but missed the first race by 20 minutes. made up for it by having a lumpy one on the second horse, and a double on the last two.
Was happy enough when the last one was withdrawn as it was very worked up, and it turned my double into a winning single.
Thanks mate, it resulted in a very profitable afternoon for me.

I think it's very rude that there only seemed to be one other who thanked you, when we know there would have been a procession if they had all finished last.
I will definitely watch out for anything else mate, as you have now given me a nice big bank to work with.
I'm afraid I've only got my b0ll0xy ramblings on specials markets to give you in return.
On the flip side, I do tend to get one right every few years though

I've had a little interest in your 4:10 squares, might as well while I'm ahead. It helps when you like the stable and jockey.
Still miffed I took my screens to green when Josie was 2.6, only for her to immediately drop to 1.9. That cost me a few sheckles
Have gone slightly back into the red to have a bit of Steve at 44-46.0 as that is too overpriced for me. When you have the favourite males very precarious in a vote to evict, it can make the others prices look quite silly.
Imagine if the two biggest characters were to go, just how the market would stand?
I don't understand and I am quite disappointed that Steve did not drift in the Top Male, as that is where I really wanted to back him.
IMO (which has admittedly been terrible recently), Stevo would be a very short price for top male if he made it through the vote to evict stage.

hope you got the decent odds around at the time I posted Pakey, Collapsed shortly afterwards.
Unfortunately 4.9, so took it for the win.
You are too popular mate, your word obviously carries too much weight and has the bookies running scared.
Paco Boy in soft ground?
I wanted to go in big as owed one, but not sure about the ground.

Sry, Pakey I was given the horse as an ew tip before the firms priced up. About 13/2 on here then and the firms went 5/1, 11/2 in a place or two. He ran a fair race to finish 2nd, never really travels that well tbh, but came up against an exceptionally easy winner who lead from start to finish - nothing else in the race stood a chance. The yard's other runner which they weren't sure about running had a terrible start but also managed to run on late to finish 2nd.
Paco Boy travelled well but couldn't finish over the distance in that ground. The winner won easily. Goldikova ran a game race just outbattling Paco at the death but never really travelled in the ground either. I was amazed how short she traded IR.

No worries squares, sounds like they were trying which is all you can really ask for with these things.
Glad I kept my powder dry with Paco, but will definitely have an interest in different ground.

Gone all green on the outright again after laying off yesterday's Stevo at 32 (bought 42-44). Now happy to leave that market to run it's course with a nice win for Josie, huge win if Stevo did it (well at those prices why not) and plus 1p the rest.
Now concentrating on the Top Male having backed him at 11.0 -13.5 which is decent value if he gets through the vote to evict stage.
Come on big boy, as boring as you have been portrayed in the house, you are a present day icon.

Morning squares, heard anything interesting for today?
I'm really liking Eseej tonight at Kempton.
In a class 6 tonight, having won rated higher in a class 4 and 5 in the last year. The Class 4 was for horses rated 72-87, while this race is for horses rated 0-65. Also won rated higher in a class 6, 1m 4f race last March.
It's Tom Mclaughlin's only ride of the night, and he has a 40% strike rate when teaming up with Hiatt As the horse is also owned by Hiatt, I'd feel that when the money goes down, it will be likely to do well.
My only concern is that it is a right handed track as he has done most of his winning on left handed, although he did take his maiden at this track over 1f shorter.
Well drawn in 12 for one that likes to go from the front, so if all goes well, we should at least get out stake money back laying in running.
A little worried as the handicapper has been kind to Seb's mount, but I can't get rid of the feeling that they are setting her up to bring her back to 1m3f, or her previous winning distance of 1m2f.
Will have a little saver on her anyway, and she could also be a nice one to back and lay in running if she does well for the first 1m3f.
It would just be my luck if these two fought for the lead and set it up for a finisher.

Hi Pakey,
Pretty quiet for me today - so far. York not a favourite of mine as I think it's hard to get results there overall. I'll probably be opposing F@llon's mounts, and I would have fancied Harris Tweed's chances more in the Ebor.
I'll have a look at your Kempers race shortly, although I generally tend to avoid poor quality flat racing these days unless I hear anything relevant. Can't grumble at the odds of your selections though.

I absolutetely love the poor quality races squares, as I find it easier to spot animals that are of better quality.
The difficult part is backing them when the stable is actually "trying" [;)]

Yeah, I used to love that too. I just preferred it when there were fewer lesser quality races. We are just inundated now. Happy days when we just had Lingfield and Southwell AW which made it really easy to specialise.
The only time I can honestly say that I specialise nowadays is when I get a phone call saying "This one will not get beaten", which are few and far between nowadays.
Couple of interesting ones in this Brighton event, one at a price who has previously done much better is Avoncreek.
Guaranteed to run like a drain as I didn't post the first winner at York.

Thanks squares
Fancied Seb or JP as they only had one ride each, but Avoncreek looked pretty solid on previous win. definitely too big at 34.0, gave stake back at 4.1 and took a profit at 2.08.

Johnston and Swinbank for me here
Being a back to layer, Johnston's front runners are my favourite
Swinbank's drift is worrying, as he is my favourite for when the money's down.
How bout you squares, you playing much today?

Very lucky the Swinbank appeared to come with plenty in hand, as it gave the stake back.
Not going to bore you lot any more if nobody else is playing the gee gees today.

No hardly at all. York not a fav of mine to play on, other racing too poor quality to get into. Opposing F@llon hasn't got off to a good start. Hate to see what he rides like when he hasn't had a heavy night.
Hope it improves for you squares, I can never get Fallon right either. Two winning races and one no loss race out of three so no complaints from me.
Had a nibble on the Sangster owned horse here at 38.0, could be interesting with this his third run.
Sim**** the main bet as apparently diverted here from other meeting and last race thrown up winners.
Have to admit the Durcan Suroor 40% combination worries me, but don't ever think these are the type of races to be backing short prices.

The Sangster horse was 25.0 on the High Street while 23.0 on here a minute ago [;)]
Yay, good old Simc0ck.
Hope you're not laying Fallon when he rides for my favourite trainer in the next squares?
Montessori 10.0
Total Command 17.0
joshua Tree 20.0
Fallon, Peslier and Spencer at massive prices, all with an option to lay in running.
How can you not love this?

Well done if you laid Fallon squares, I just can't get the guy right.
Spencer almost gave me a profit with my lay up at 2.24, but he only dropped to 3.0
first loser of the day so time for me to shut up now
Best of luck squares

yeah pl lays of H Tweed and F@llon there so that was better. Unlikely to do much more today.
Eseej unlucky to get done 1.5 lengths, I was even unluckier as I had a lovely profit lay up at 2.24, and the price only went as low as 2.72 in running. Gutted
Had a fantastic day on the gee gees overall, it would be greedy of me to complain about that one.
Won't be around too much today(cries of hurrah all round) as I'll be concentrating on the horses and cricket.
Will leave something to think about for those who have Stevo down as a guaranteed evictee on Friday.
This is a vote to evict, where the big characters and highlighted trouble makers or evil doers tend to be evicted. Over the last few days on the highlight show, when people have been watching and voting to evict 4 housemates.
1. Steve has barely been on the edit to be brought to the voters attention. (vote to evict remember)
2. Steve has not been portrayed as one of those who are causing trouble, trying to be a smart @rse or attempting to put others down. (vote to evict etc..)
BTW 2:15 King Of Wands looks a decent price at 5.5
Have a nice one guys

Steve could be making a moment for himself in these situations but he just sits there like a statue, @rse attached to fence, too scared to rock the boat. Disappointing really.
Morning suares
Hopefully it's a case of great minds etc, I'm just off to have lunch and go through the rest of the racing Post.
Thought I'd sorted out my cricket bet for the day, but like Eseej last night, I'm obviously asking a little too much. It hurts when you are just on the edge though.
I backed pakistan at 7.0 when the opening bowlers seemed to be getting the ball to work for them and it then got cloudy, put up a lay stake at 4.1 to give me a lovely no lose bet.
England lose their third wicket and guess where they Pakistan buyers stop, they only take it right up to 4.2 and leave mine sitting there. [>o]
Anything interesting on your side of things?

4.1 taken[:D]
Had moved it down to 3.25 in anticipation of another wicket going, then noticed the buggers had brought it down.
Arrrrrrrrrrrgh, they got another wicket

Clouds End, Folk 6.00 - 3/1 still with a few firms = worth an interest.
Cheers squares, had a little at 3.9 on here.
Put up the stake again at 1.8ish so if pakistan keep up this good bowling, could be in with a result before lunch of 2/1 Pakistand win, Evens Pakistan lose.
These are my favourite bets [:D]
I'm off to lunch now
Have a good one

From the recent edits and the way that vote to evicts seem to attract the votes of those that profile highly in the edit, and those who are portrayed as having flaws, you would think that John James, Sam and Corin would be a shoo in (I hate that term) for the first three places. I'm not suggesting that it is a foregone conclusion, but if it did pan out that way, with his lack of highlight featuring, I honestly don't see how Steve manages to fight his way to the fourth spot.
Surely Dave would be more likely to get this spot, especially if the editing continued in this vein.
I got the feeling last night that they were toying with the possibilities of featuring Mario lusting after young Andrew. Mario straddling Andrew and staring into his eyes like that was quite uncomfortable, it would not take much of that to bring him into the equation also.

I'm glad you are not very persuasive squares, while Pakistan did not exactly do it like I expected, they managed to get there in the end.
Irrelevant now as it's been easy to cover all options, the last one being laying Pak at 1/20 to ensure a decent win all round.
I'm now off to play cricket myself, or if the rain keeps coming in sunny West Sussex, spending a day having a beer or three.

We were both right Pakey. [;)]
They weren't massively overpriced at the time, but came good for you in the end.

Can you believe they went out to 5/1, although panicking, I thought over priced again and had a bit more, while everybody laughed at me.
he who laughs last etc.

As for over priced or not, they just delayed what they should really have done in the ideal morning conditions
Right, I'm off to drink, I mean play cricket

Enough to keep me going Selkirk, but have to admit that the well has been drier than usual for about the last year.
Fortunately, the occasional big priced winner keeps popping up to keep the wheels oiled for the next few months.
How's your luck been?

Are you successful, and do you use stats, form or inside knowledge? [;)]
I like the better class stuff, especially distance races.

Come on Pakistan, on at 6.4 and a decent opening bowling spell could give us all green by tea.
First ball 4 wides.
Anybody playing?

Had another little bit at 7.6 Pakistan and just laid off me stake at 2.44 for a free bet.

You have what he can never have. The love of a good woman. And a lot of it by the sounds
Some mo infomation for my forrowas in my quest to make me, I mean you all velly lich. [;)]
I have only had two bets so far and both in the Top Female:
Backed Ulrikakaka at 21.0 and laid stake at 6.2
Backed Nadia at 11.0
Should I start a twatter page so that you can all adore me?

There is nothing so boring than a man who crows about his bets.
nice one pakes,showing signs of improvement from your BB top man tips
You should really read posts in they way they were intended Selkirk (self explanatory this one), the crowing was written in the style of Kenneth Tong's twitter page.
Thanks Alfie, but I'll be more inclined to remember my Josie to win from the start (even when there were big trains reaching very low prices), and forget all about Stevo to be top male.
FWIW Selkirk, and this is not Kenneth Tong style
The current position regarding my Pakistan bet is:
I layed my original stake yesterday at 2.44 @ 11:14
I layed the equivelant of my stake again at 2.28 at 12:02
This meant that after 12:02 yesterday, I was sitting with around a 7/2 gain if Pakistan won, and even money win if they lost.
I have even had a small bet on Pakistan @ 23.0 this morning in the hope that they get the finger out, and finish off the bowling job in the second innings.
As you will no doubt say I am lying, I'm more than happy to do the cut and paste or whatever it is you do to show your book on an event, as long as somebody show me how to do it.
I had a not bad run on BB11 with Josie to win the outright and Stevo to be Top Male (I always put my bets up on here BEFORE the result), remind me of how well you did and what your tips were.
Maybe you should read the post again before casting insults Selkirk, and if you only come onto threads to insult people, please explain what pleasure you get from that.
I'm off out to play cricket, so will not be responding until tonight or tomorrow, feel free to put the boot in if it makes you feel better.
Have a nice one

yours is a valued opinion on here pakey,good luck with your cricket.
Thanks Alfie, the win will be a little less now as I had another little bit on Pakistan at 60s yesterday 
, in the small hope that they could have some sort of fightback, Doh.
To think that I almost levelled out my initial stake for an all round 5/2 ish win, regardless of the result.
How's your UBB going?

Had a very good game on a very damp pitch, but we chased down their score which looked very unlikey as the middle order (including me) collapsed.
Another fantastic day though
Well done with the Coolio eviction, I would have lost, probably why I don't do evictions
