How?

advantage NHS right now, sales are increasing compared with the Biebz, needs to keep selling in ever bigger numbers, but that looks likely to me now
NHS fav before breakfast, I get up late

11/4 freely available at joes and paddys most of tonight...could lay 7/4 on here.

unbelievably the NHS were still as big as 6/1 on Sunday..

Muppets and the market weren`t beliebers of anything other than that day`s sales figures. This is Specials, though, gotta be ahead of the curve...

I expect Chris Evans will be ramping it even more in the morning after the build up in momentum today. With his big ego he'll believe he's responsible for getting it to number one.

Jack KNOWS!!!

Almost 3:1 ratio now for iTunes. Surely they are smashing it?

odds starting to shorten now

NHS will be favourites soon

"The Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Choir's A Bridge Over You has closed the gap overnight and as of today (December 23), is just 662 combined sales behind Justin's Love Yourself"

http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-2015-christmas-number-1-race-is-nail-bitingly-close-as-the-nhs-choir-closes-the-gap-on-justin-bieber__13251/

If combined sales means all purchases i.e. downloads and physicals then NHS can't win (outselling now 2 to 1 for 2 days won't come close to catching Beiber up on streams). What exactly does combined sales mean?

100 streams counts as 1 sale, i assume they are already including those sales.

combined sales means sales from downloads, streams and in the shops

and combining all those 3 .. bieber is only 600 ahead

so of course the  NHS can win

the NHS were 7000 behind yesterday

so they have almost closed the gap

and one would suspect with all the publicity that momentum favours them

Bieber is going to get fooked now all those who have pledged support are buying the NHS record.

It's a xmas thing

WHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Do I need to say it again? Not really, but I`m enjoying it so, all together now forum;

THIS IS ALL OVER!!!

This time, it really is! Took a big chunk out of Beiber yesterday 1.5 average, he's dead in the water if there's no misinformation flying around. Just waiting to be paid out now. 1.5 is monstrous still on NHS.

Anyone get any money on at the actual bookies? I went to 3 yesterday and none would take 3 figures at 11/4 let alone what I actually wanted on! FOBTs betting only it seems or a cheeky 50 on a horse if it's price is double on the exchange!!!!

You really are the forums biggest muppet

Yes, it may be that this is the 'real' move... the more news gets out of a close contest the more it favours NHS... it should be all good Tim..

Darts: £884.44 | Football: -£416.29 | Horse Racing: £1,939.59 | Special Bets: £3,479.66 | Tennis: -£147.24  Total P&L:  £5,740.16

since sun. not bad for a muppet. tyvm m8

This is definitely the move. 7,000 lead wiped away since the momentum swing which means over the next 2 days they will pull away. Unless there is misinformation it's money in the bank.

Anyone can post a bunch of random numbers, you've been doing it for years

Yes my account is dormant according to you.

post a screenshot on twatter

Nope? thought not

I noticed you've deleted all your tweets, except for the last time you actually picked a winner before the event

March 2014 seems such a long time ago

Only ever posted 2 tips on there, GN winner at 50/1 2014 and Chelsea DnB at 1.9 which cruised in a few months ago. If you followed my tips on here you'd have backed Vicky at 10/1+ and smashed on Louisa 2.5 and layed Che Chesterman 4.0 and the NHS here at 8/1...

Yeah dutching Beiber and NHS Choir pays odds against and looks close to free money, famous last words!

Admittingly the 8/1 would have been dutched with Beiber at 7/4... still odds against that (11/10 or 2.2).

You don't half talk some shoite

You're worse than Bails for tipping every runner and then just remembering the ones that win

Lol. PnL shows there are winners, as well as losers..

Well done

i.e. lost few k on SCD, though going to make that and more when nhs comes in, which it has already (unless there is serious misinformation).

All the momentum is now with the NHS. If it continues it won't even be close.

Everyone purchased the Bieber single in the run-up to Christmas and the momentum for him dried up 2 days ago. NHS still gaining. If Bieber was only 3k ahead when he was at his peak and odds were 1/7 then he doesn't currently stand a chance.

NHS is ahead, imo.

Easily aheard and pulling clear, it's 1.01 imho (unless there is serious misinformation).

Streaming totals are always a day behind and not added to daily totals. Bieber still had 5k plus to be added to todays total

NHS downloads are still picking up. It was looking poor over the weekend but the supporters are now motivated.

A little brat who spits at his fans verses people who save lives? In any normal world it would be a no-brainer.

Justin Bieber ‏@justinbieber  18m18 minutes ago
I'm hearing this UK Christmas race is close...but the @Choir_NHS single is for charity. So...

so for 1 week it's ok not to be #1. Let's do the right thing & help them win. It's Christmas. @Choir_NHS good luck http://www.nhsno1.com/download

This is what it's all about. Merry Christmas :)


Not as much as a spoilt brat as he's made out to be in all fairness

Good on the lad.

Gawd bless you my son!

Good call from the start aa, hope it's paid for Christmas

Although being Scottish i'm sure an odds on winner would have sufficed

Yep great shout aa, it was your post that made me look at nhs more closely. Hope you got on :)

wd Cider aa and bardo

Poor Tim feeling left out.

And army.

Momentum is still increasing.

His "people" must have told him he wouldn't win so hence largesse. Still £25 green pays for Christmas so can't complain...Merry Christmas one and all.

Good on Justin...All grown up.

Have you been to Iceland

Thanks, Jack, but while I and army may shout it out a bit louder than some, neither of us were anywhere near first, others were far more ahead of the curve than us two.
Excellent little market, always seems to come as an afterthought when we`re all bored with no XF/SCD etc, but backing the NHS high enough, laying XF pretty low, and Bieber very low, has turned my whole RTV year around, and I`m delighted with it.
Hope you`ve done OK, you`ve been here cheerleading as well.

Cheers Tim. I've been trading this market very nicely all week so was in for a nice payout whatever the result. I laid all the 1.08 on Louisa so got off to a good start and backed the NHS with the bookies at 10/1 and 13/2 best prices. It was looking like Bieber until the big momentum shift yesterday.

The NHS record is about to feature on ITV news in a minute by the way.

30% RTV loses recovered...Every little helps.

Somebody must've lost? Maybe Simon or Louis were betting in this market but now realise they can't simply amend the database

How much did you get on the bookies? Momentum was Tuesday when NHS started doubling sales on ITunes and Beiber was sub 1.3

Only peanuts online really. £7 at 10/1, £45 at 13/2 and about another £100 averaging about 3/1.

Cheers. Really are a shambles aren't they. Got a friend to open a new account and limits were awful as well. Great work on the 1.08 Louisa lay, probably the best Special bet I can ever remember.

Jack, the 1.08 was YOU! We were all wondering who got it, top stuff!

well played everyone..this market has been brilliant ..made a 5k profit on the NHS

have a great christmas and a happy new year

Timbuctooth.. you are a legend !

Thanks Cider for the opening post alerting me to the market. And thanks to you and Attitude Adjuster within the first few posts suspecting NHS Choir being value contenders- a virtual pint of Cider and Whiskey to you both respectively (though I'd dread AA's headache the next morning ;) ) :)

Did I ever mention what great chaps that Chris Evans & Stephen Fry are (also that ITV breakfast show is great as well) ;)

Aw shucks, bardo, you`re making me blush! Good to know you`ve done well, as we`ve been in the trenches together throughout.
I always re-read threads at the end of the event, usually worried about how much boll0x I`ve posted along the way. As such, just read this one, and the credit for spotting this early really has to be shared by (in alphabetical order, no favouritism!) aa, Chepster, Cider, and Tom, with cider`s 33/1 being an excellent call.

Cider & AA are the true heroes (gb1 saying there might be twist and turns added more confidence to my bets thats for sure). GB1 I noticed you liked Dune in a previous post- the mini-series by sci-fi channel covering "Dune Messiah" & "Children of Dune" (starring James Mccavoy & Susan Saradon) is great as well- Timbuctooth I reckon you might like the Dune films as well?

sounds like a great market

well done winners

scampi
Always had a thing for the younger Susan Sarandon, since Rocky Horror, but I don`t really watch tv, Well, except for 17,000 hours of RTV stuff, of course...

donny, even before I/we ended up winning, it was a fantastic fun market. Always tends to be when you have a 1.08 and 1.10 gubbed.

Hope you both did OK

Havent followed this market/thread for a while, wish I had done WD everyone top work

i echo tim's thoughts
merry christmas folks

Thanks scampi and tim of course

I always thought XF was beatable with the early release and changes to the chart calculations.

The events from that point on were beyond my wildest dreams

Definitely the most exciting specials market ever for momentum and market fluctuations. A book could be written on this market, legendary stuff!

And army

best christmas present i got

I think you owe Bardo's favourite charity a few quid, Cider.

he can afford it too

He's probably hoping the momentun slows down to save him a few quid.

#preyforcider

Agree with some of the complimentary comments earlier...  when I returned to look at forum this week after a long time away, it seemed full of good advice and NHS choir was c 3/1.. most were with it, so plenty of good work... well done to all those ...

late surge of sales for bieber and he is our xmas #1 for 2015

chart finished 9 hours ago for christmas number 1 smithy
also smoking crack on christmas day is a sin

1.01 backers sweating

Mash it up BOOM! Mash it up BOOM! Mash it up BOOM!

1.01 backers in clover

merry xmas soup

merry xmas army

think sky news said it sold just short of 450,000. it pi$$ed on Bieber and shat on his head

this year i'll be eating turkey, real turkey, not chicken nuggets like last year, or bernard matthew's turkey ham slices like the year before. a proper turkey.

THIS IS ALL OVER!

This is a great thread. Well done all and all the best in 2016

How many regular posters on here? We`ll call it 30
How many irregular posters on here? We`ll call it 30, too
How many post, but very rarely, on here? We`ll call it 50
How many lurkers? Plenty

So, at a very rough guess, 110 readers, and plenty of lurkers on this mighty fine forum, and YOU are one of them. 110 people who selflessly share their information and (in some cases, at least!) highly informed views. Indeed, as a whole, this select group is probably, pound for pound, amongst the very most successful groups of punters in the world. And YOU are able to benefit from all of this. FOR PHUCKING FREE!!!

Instead of being a selfish and ungrateful bast@rd, how about showing just the smallest bit of appreciation for their efforts?

We are currently in the `Judging Stage` of the `Specials Forumite Of The Year 2015` So far, only a handful of posters have voted. With voting being suspended tomorrow night, that`s a pitiful number. We all spent hundreds, even thousands of hours on here during 2015, yet YOU can`t think of one good post/thread/train/poster that doesn`t deserve even something as simple as your vote? Come on, play the game!

No `reg` can get away without voting, the very absence of your post will be a highly visible slap in the face to all of your friends on here. As you will notice, I`ve posted this on numerous threads, so no `I didn`t know` bollox, thank you very much! 30-odd regs equals 30+ votes, a reasonable sample. So do it. NOW! Yes, and you non-regs. Yes, and you lurkers. DO IT NOW!!!

OK, if you can`t do it now, you want to ponder it all, to give due consideration to this weighty decision, vote before tomorrow night, at least!

If you can`t be bothered to spend a few minutes to pay for what you received in 2015, you can rev up and PHUCK RIGHT OFF!!!!!




Bullet point;

Voters = Decent humans .
Non-voters = UNGRATEFUL SELFISH BAST@RDS!!!!!
