He probably went higher than 20, GB2, but bf have taken the markets down...
Henry, don`t know what you do at suspension, but I tend to sit back, skin up, and hope I haven`t completely phucked up everything in the last few minutes. No time for analytical stuff, at all, I`m afraid. |

Was looking at 7k green RJ start of the night :(
End of the night, 10k Boogie Storm. Ended with just 700 quid profit. Lots of valuable lessons learnt, a profit is a profit but when I saw Richard was 2nd in the RO, I just couldn't sit and watch, literally worst slot. |

No time for analytical stuff, at all, I`m afraid." ah yes, no time for that. just time for a still screenshot plus noting all your positions of the possible winning bets and biggest red so you can see if they've settled correctly. what i do for any more detail is: video screen record list by matched bet scroll down to the first bet and then slowly page up to the most recent bet. |

20s to evens and no talk of insiders?
|

By:
Yeah gotta be cloest final ever. Only 6% between 2nd and 7th.

Well there you go...Beau beat Craig. WD the voting public.

By:
Don`t be silly, GB2, no insiders. The vote wasn`t even open! I think it was his SM reactions, allied to the fact that one after the other, the rest were disappointing. Well, I thought Beau was very good, but the market decided she wasn`t winning.. Then Wayne failed to deliver and, whoosh, it was all over.

Just jesting tim I'm the ultimate no insiders man....your description of the in play dynamic makes sense....kids never win of course so always value somewhere else

My sister-in-law called it. If I get her to open an account here, we'll all be in trouble.

I'm glad Richard won from 2nd
It levels it out a bit next year |
|
By:
There does seem to be a public desire on BGT for non singers to do well...not sure how that translates to votes...dog might have hacked up if people weren't bored with them

Fought off the Japs single handed with his card tricks it seems...should have been 1.01

Going by the voting in the semis the winner had the highest % vote and beat the 3rd in the final by 12%...not a bad form line...with the benefit of hindsight of course

this bgmt is pointless. they used to talk to the judges.

By:
I've just watched Richards act again
ffs that's poor |
|
By:
It was inspired.
He came on, and directly faced down the `fraud` charges He told us very clearly that he was using other peoples` tricks He then gave a Churchillian speech All the while, dressed in full uniform. Then, all the MEMs and MEDs started crying. Inspired. |

They don't like a card any card up 'em

Tim I tried to tell you how to record all your bets from the much clearer market screen after suspension. Did you see my post?
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
MEMs, and soldiers and their family's votes with full uniform. And there are a lot of those.

Logging off now.

bye

By:
Henry, saw your post, but
Don`t know how to do a screenshot I take notes of nothing I`ve never checked that bf have done the sums correctly Don`t really know what exactly a `video screen record` is Other than that(!), thanks for trying. |

missed the show tonight but not surprised the magician won after watching the clips back. richard is a clever man, a sly little fox, he has played this series perfectly from start to finish. luckily i blindly laid a chunk of wayne green in play at high 2s but probably would have layed more if i had watched the show. given how close the voting was i think wayne could have won tonight with a more emotional song. in any case i hate having to attend social events, especially when they clash with finals. i'm not a people person and i have no time for anyone, go away and leave me alone.

Fair enough Tim.
Tom he was a sly little fox who knew all the right strings to pull. Just watched Wayne's "That's Life" again. Honest talent and my fav performance of the series. Even better than: Davros after finishing his act: "Are we through? Which one's the Queen?" "I didn't get to show you me legs." Cowell: "That was beyond bad. At least I said no originally. You three are responsible." Davros to Walliams etc: "Yes! It's your fault!" Dec: "The public might still want to vote" Davros holding up his foot to his face like a phone: "Yeah. Ring Davros. We can make it happen." The only SF act (in history?) getting 4 red buzzers. Class. |

This is one good reason why the judges' wildcard was Shannon and Peter:
Semi-Final 1 Wayne Woodward - 25.0% Shannon & Peter - 21.5% Alex Magala - 16.0% |

the lowest audience for a final in the show's history, probably due to the awful standard of the acts.
i think a singing, dancing bear in uniform would win easliy |
