A very strange way of looking at things Tim. I can't disagree with you. George Bailey 08 Dec 12 17:00 Betting and principles should be strangers to each other tim..... Can't disagree with you, either. In fact, his momentum seems such that I have already written off the money. As fll says, it's perhaps strange that I can cope with losing far better than I could deal with the feelings I would have if he loses, after I had backed him. Hey, we're all a bit strange in our own ways! I've done well following my instincts over the years, and, if I am right on this I will enjoy an inner glow for months. If I am wrong, so be it. |

I'm not disagreeing, and Leona was pretty much always top tbf. Alex wasn't and I take the point. It still doesn't change my opinion that James cannot win. There'll be time to bail (and eat humble pie) yet, but right now, I am firmly in the "cannot and will not win" camp.

Where are these Leona figures pop?
|
|
By:
the main worry for the front two is surely the duet
isn't it inevitable that there will be the usual paranoid nonsense everywhere that nicole sung better/tried harder/ramped one or the other? |
|
By:
Amelia had the best duet last year
|
|
By:
but we've never had a judge singing twice
|
|
By:
Fair enough Tim.
Good luck for tonight. I was the same with Joe. I never saw him as value so was happy to have him red in the final. The same with that guy who won AI last year. |

not on here imo gb

I don't have votes for that series, but I have vague memories from Xtra Factor or some other show that said she topped the vote 8 weeks out of 10.
|

By:
reckon that people should take the evens on offer on Maloney to come 3rd.
safest bet of the finals imo. safer than backing jahmene or james outright |

And good luck to you all as well. As ever, it's been fun. And what does it really matter? It's only the difference of a few pixels in our 'total available' figure. |

You've had 4 specials losers?

By:
You're thinking of rmb again bails

James ramp again on the tour ad. Only one seen twice

James winning would be my biggest specials loss since Kara Tointon.

You've had 4 specials losers? Yes, always when I have gone for all or nothing, and this series is begunning to feel as ominous as those. The 'all or nothing' approach has paid off sometimes though. |

What did you do with Ashley in the end Tim? I stuck it out, and obviously it reaped rewards, but I cannot believe there was only 1% in it.
|

By:
I'm not THAT strange!

By:
lol, sorry tim

I got lucky, as I always sit at my computer while watching these shows, so was quicker than most to respond to the 'change of leadership' comment ftom Ant. Or Dec? |

By:
Good. Yes, It pays to be sat at PC sometimes. :)
|
|
By:
I think we all sit at the PC when watching these shows...and some of us are looking at he BF site
 So it was you that beat me by a millisecond to the charlie bets tim  |
|
By:
It was a bit mental yes. I brought Charlie out of the red. In retrospect I suppose it was clear who had just taken the lead
|
|
By:
2.2 I think I managed, not fast enough
|
|
By:
Some of us had the opposite decision to make, whether the now changed prices made it worth covering on Ashley. Thankfully I didn't. :) I do think Ashley backers were very unlucky though, especially when you look at the votes up to the semi.

I have heard that Chris has had the most amount of votes since the voting part of the show began. I questioned the person and asked how could they possibly know as I was skeptical. Apparently it is their job to know as a trader for a bookie. The people that are going to vote will be mainly women with some money to waste on the phone call cost to vote. If that is true then a lot of them will be very familiar with 80's music and Chris' songs would appeal to them. That is the logic apparently offered behind this. Of course I am an anonymous guy on a forum so make of that what you will. Good luck all.

A bit of advice tim...BF is different to the HS bookies in that you can trade to cover positions and guarantee a win..hth Yes, very funny. I normally trade my way to regular, if undramatic, wins. Maybe 10 times over the years I've left myself fully exposed. |

It's worthless green. Same as any green on Chris

By:
Did they ever release the voting figures for Leona's series?
|
|
By:
George you are almost certainly right. I have had a cheeky 20 quid bet on Chris at 8's so it is fine. The other two are too short for me to back with any confidence.
|
|
By:
Chris having most votes this series could well be true. Irrelevant to tonight OC though
|

|
|
By:
Or was it anecdotal from othh? Not sure
|
|
By:
Is it down to the judges and not the public George? If it is true that every week running Chris has come top then I stand a chance if it is a public vote but that's a big if!
