Why is someone convinced Mario is going?

No idea, but my bank is now empty having laid him at 9's (and 20's at the off) - free money :D

Free money always makes me suspicious Jack

Just thinking of the worst case scenario.

'I've been conning you, I'm Endemol's mole etc etc just in here to wind you up etc'

He still doesn't go anywhere near eviction imho

Bummed a tory minister (nap)

Virtually everyone has bummed a condem minister

Last backed to be next out at 8.0

Bizarre.

You would have thought with JJ and Sam in this vote, even Dave, he should be about 33's at shortest?

I'm always suspicious when a price is obviously too short.

I initially put in a lay at 20's when the market opened, only to be matched at 9's...

Can't really be anything dodgy about it with the amounts being traded though... only risk I can see is that it's an insider who knows that it's not the person with the most votes who's going to be evicted first (?)

It will be jack would imagine they will scupper John or Sam to ensure one of them go first. Then I imagine they will send 2 together if Steves there they wont send him on his own but when he goes they will want to minmise the booing.

Two together is interesting... would be settled as a dead heat? In which case Dave is surely value

A void would be most likely if the next out wasn't to 'established procedure', ie the lowest of the %ages.

The 9th evictee surely has to be that with the highest %age

It maybe best to seek clarification for BF on this before we get burnt

But if an 'insider' knew this, they should be backing Corin and Dave too

Well he's only taken £2 of my £50 at 8.6. More likely a nutter than an insider.

But Mario has been going on about his secret, and wearing T shirts with acronyms - "I am mole" etc [smiley:crazy]

Emailed them, we need this is writing

in  writing

As usual though, if the market rules don't cover the case sufficiently (again) then if someone strolls out next they will be settled as 9th eviction regardless of %

Yep, but that would go 'against established procedure' shrewdy

I'd agree with you, but after my Xmas TV market experience I wouldn't trust BF to do anything other than settle it.

rules what rules

Send them another email mate

I haven't actually played this market at all - after the Xmas debacle I sent them several e-mails before IBAS agreed with BF that it didn't matter whether it was clear in the market rules, if we could 'work it out' how it should be settled! I was [>o]

Remember also they can void it at 'their discretion' only
