Hello you lovely people, great to see so many of you still here keeping up the good work. Back for my usual annual visit, but needing a little reassuring as to why Bill is still remaining odds on. Having just missed HRVY decent prices after his bad week, I lumped at 4s and am worrying that his fantastic dancing and charisma(don't say I always pick the handsome young men) didn't have him fighting for favourite last week.
After Shane let me down last week, needing reassurance that the PKY household will be able to afford Christmas this year.
Hope you are all doing well and slaying the bookies x

Obviously HRVY and Maisie are a long way clear of the others dancewise so one of them should win it.
I've said from the start that whilst Bill has surprised us it just means we all thought he'd be a 4/10 dancer when in fact he's a 6 or 7. Surely that isn't good enough to win this and for the life of me I could never understand his favouritism whatsoever. Looks like he'll drift a bit from the 8/11 he was before last night but probably not much. I just don't get it with him at all. So summing up I think your 4/1 bet is looking very good with Maisie to beat in the dance department and Bill in the popularity. Good luck I hope he wins too. |

Thanks Lou, hope you're keeping ahead of the game.
Couldn't have Maisie from the start as she was too stage school so unlikeable, although she has improved over the last couple of weeks, could never see her winning. Was hoping Bill would have a couple of mediocre weeks and while he has obliged, his price has retained static. Just a wee bit worried that somebody knows something about the voting and it's swaying the odds. |

By:
Yes no logic whatsoever to him being odds on Fav so maybe someone knows something about the public's votes?
Just hope they finally come to their senses and vote for one of the obvious two better dancers. |

By:
Fingers crossed Lou, and especially the more likeable one

Hi PKY, good to see you looking in. I thought of you the other day when I noticed a horse called Pakie's Dream win. I wouldn't be surprised if HRVY is vying for favourite once the market reopens.

Hi squares, happy see you're still doing your thing, profitable I hope?
Funny you mention the horse, a mate of mine told me the day after it had won, was gutted as think it was a decent price too. Nice to know I'm not the only one thinking HRVY has been neglected by the market so far. Will keep popping in from now on to keep abreast of things. |

HRVY very good again last night, in the final and in with a real shout. Fingers crossed ............. |

By:
In my eyes he's not put a foot wrong Lou, could not have played it better, even saving his best until now.
Still worries/irks me that Bill is favourite, just makes me wonder if "they" know the voting. |

Hope you're right tim, it doesn't usually bother me to be backing against the general consensus

Yes I entirely agree with you. 1. He's been very good and seemingly that bit better just about every week. 2. Comes across very well and his partner lovely too. Due a win so everyone will be pleased for her. 3. How has Bill been favourite for the last three or four weeks and still Evens favourite now? We can only hope HRVY comes through in the final. I'm rooting for him all the way. |

Glad it's not just me Lou, the whole thing just doesn't ring true.
If I was doing a book I wouldn't give Hrvy at any higher than 1.5, and Bill no better than 3.5. I usually like to take my stake back but not going to lay anything off. |
|
By:
I totally agree can't understand the odds whatsoever. That said people are backing Bill at odds on, he's odds on with the Bookies and has been clear favourite for three or four weeks now.

American Smooth(Dance of the decade) for me, closely followed by the record breaking street dance in week 6.
I'd like to see him do both in the final to show his versatility. |

HRVY and Janette
Favourite dance: American Smooth to One (Singular Sensation) from A Chorus Line Showdance: Boogie Wonderland by Brittany Murphy Judges' Pick: Jive to Faith by Stevie Wonder featuring Ariana Grande |

Wow I think that's three real good ones for HRVY.
HRVY  |

Thank you squares, he has a chance to really shine with those.

Hi Pakey Im with you on this, I think the current prices should be closer, so my money is currently leaning toward HRVY. Bill has the most popular killer dance of the series, but the social media momentum seems to be with HRVY at the right time. Whoever wins, its been an intriguing contest, the would-be oldest winner vs the would-be youngest winner
|

By:
Hi DuckyM, I'm hoping that Bill's novelty appeal of oldie/unexpected dancer has now waned a little.
I'd like to think it was at least a 50/50 chance, although I have HRVY ahead as Bill has been a bit overshadowed in the last three weeks. It's definitely been entertaining |

By:
We might just be heading to pre show joint favourites

You never know with these markets Pakey
Even though we want different results, good luck for tonight. Betting aside it looks like being a wonderful final. With all the couples given dances that we're great first time round. No attempt to nobble any of them, as we've seen in the previous. So whoever wins will deserve it. |

I'm trying not to be biased here I'm really not but what was the big thing about Bill's 'Rapper's Delight'?
Yes it was a bit different for a man of 55 to be doing it granted but I think the most noticeable thing about it was his get up with the hat, he did look good. He's hardly a good dancer is he so whilst he's been ok I really can't see what the thing was with that specific dance? |

Good luck to you too fll, have to admit I'm never comfortable when we have opposing positions on a market. I haven't laid anything off but knowing you you will have managed a decent book throughout to ensure minimal damage. Best of luck mate,I agree it's all been fair throughout and any winner will be fully deserving.
Lou, I'm 100% in on HRV but even I was wowed by Rapper's Delight. It was Bill's to lose from an early stage, but feel his star has faded over the last three weeks while HRV has shone. I'm under no illusions though, if Bill performs at the top of his game in all three dances and HRVY falters or makes mistakes, he could ultimately win this. Nail biting night ahead in the Pakey household, the kids are praying that Bill isn't going to cancel their Christmas. |
