it's always all change in this. by suspension my only greens were wayne and richard.

Boom Boom was crapping it when Boogie were still there. Another Betfair Cheque on the way

It wasn't won on the night.

Nothing to do with his trick, he pulled the emotions far more than anyone else did. We know that`s the key word on BGT.

I wish wouldn't settle the markets so feckin quickly

really feckin annoying that is

Can someone tell me if Sportsbook bets are included in BF Profit/Loss?

Or is it just Exchange?

Just exchange

Nope

Actually i'm not 100% sure tbh

It's been ages since ive used sportsbook

I won a few quid last week and it 100% don't show up

I`m with FOTY, on bf taking away the bets so quickly. I like to spend a few minutes perusing my better and worse plays; it`s not the same, reading it in `My Account`.

well you've got a big lot more than "a few minutes" as soon as they suspend.

Watching the footie but followed on twitter for a laugh. Was clear emotional connect was with the winner more than any of them. Had a quick look at markets and saw a w/o him so assumed he would be 1.3 or something...2.2 as it happened...drifty I assume. Didn't bother though.

just stick to the chase bails

How can you tell he had an emotional connect from twitter ya plonker

Thought bear was my only stalker

I guess tweets using the word "emotional" is a clue

365 free bet on footie..be rude not to....4/1 penalties

Driffy, GB2?  Well, I got up to 20 after his act, so `YES!!!`

Posts using the word plonker are a clue too

Get on a Brexit vote ... Whe're deffo leaving...Patriots storm the voting...!!

The only people allowed free bets on 365 are serial losers

shyte...a w/o market and he was 20/1? Odd. Like I say evens when I looked. Free bet for all bear...just like Bernie Sanders

It's not a free bet for all at all.

pens landed atletico the icing on the cake

Isn't it?

Richard wouldn't have won but for bringing out the old soldier. Fact

His act was pi55 poor

old soldier = emotional connect I guess...not seen it

Brits like the army and MEMs go moist at men in uniform.....

But not at your Tesco check out one bear

"Driffy, GB2?  Well, I got up to 20 after his act, so `YES!!!`"

same here. i thought his act was sh1t, his worst yet, but at those prices and with the guy who was winning the polls, and then at lower prices after everybody bar wayne had been sh1t.

The old boy won it for him. He had more likes

in fact we all thought his act was sh1t. important lesson there - ie gamblers are much too cynical.

he really is a crafty cvvnt

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.

Storm Troopers did surprisingly well on twitter....people clearly sick of dogs too

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.

What made him go from 20s+ to evens then?

Close as feck

Yeah close on twitter too...plenty said it was close with no clear winner...qualitative tweets more for magician

"He probably went higher than 20, GB2, but bf have taken the markets down...

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?

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

* closest

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

yes at least that. but they both did disappointing rehashes of what they'd performed earlier this series. and beau had two perfect "new" songs she could have done.

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

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

2 female paper reviewers on skynews now saying winning act brought tears to their eyes...nuff said

Aftertimers

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

Unlucky Dan. I remember feeling the same after that Scottish guy won. A small win iirc but felt like a loss due to giving so much green away after the Cowell deramp (I enjoyed his performance)
I thought the Troopers might steal it in such a close contest with a some very MEM friendly songs. It's Raining Men and Dirty Dancing in particular

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.

I've just watched Richards act again

ffs that's poor

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?

Yup, that was his real magic. And it beat the evil one's most powerful de-ramping device.

MEMs, and soldiers and their family's votes with full uniform. And there are a lot of those.

Logging off now.

bye

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%

Davros after finishing his act: "Are we through?

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

George Bailey 28 May 16 22:47

....kids never win of course so always value somewhere else

Unless they happen to be dancing of course.

And just old enough to stir the MEMs

I suppose 'Up North' 14 is acceptable
