Four comedians and three singers fighting amongst themselves for the same votes.
Of the comedians, well take your pick according to taste, but they`re the type of act most prone to falling flat, especially after having used their two best sets of material to get this far.
BGT`s always won by one word; èmotions`, and the singers are best placed to hit our hearts, but which one? Well, anything other than `Never Enough` seems like an anti-climax from Loren, and she surely can`t sing that again in the final, she`s more than a bit of a ringer, foreign to boot, so not her.
Maxwell`s great, good-looking and fantastic backstory, but hasn`t got the personality that would make him a cert, and definitely the danger of another terrible song choice, so his price rules him out.
Leaving Tom; likeable, loveable Tom, who I had max red for a while, but gotta be flexible! The mop of hair gave him an initial `Susan Boyle-lite` air about him, but turns out he`s an absolute joy, a perfect role model, who`s able to stir those vital emotions, as we saw with the vt in his classroom, perhaps one of the best vts we`ve ever seen on this; little old grannies will have loved it, MEMs will have been crying their eyes out! And they`re our voters. Oh, and Simon loves him too, which always helps.
Very real prospect of the votes being split enough for the RO to decide this, maybe even to the extent of letting one of the niche acts nip in and nick victory but, all in all, 15.0 is stonking value.

What’s to stop Loren singing another track from The greatest showman ?
She has a video on YouTube singing This is me, not mind blowing but with pimp and staging could go down really well. Wouldn’t want a large red to be fair. Her price drifted to over 100 and could leave a few people sweating if this pans out. Simon usually hits his target so time will tell. Best of luck to everyone. Maxwell my best result at the moment. |

Nothing to stop her, in fact you may well be right, that she sings another `Greatest Showman` song. Don`t know for sure, but haven`t heard anything about it, so I`m assuming her voice wasn`t used for any other tracks? In which case, it can`t measure up to the `perfectedness` of `Never Enough`. Also, she`s a bit too attractive for a 30-something looking for votes from similarly-aged women who are grossing out on their couch in their jogging bottoms and no make-up, children screaming, abusive ex-boyfriend long since gone

I agree tim. Of the 3 singers he's easily the most likeable and he won what was clearly the most competitive semi. There were 5 acts in that semi that had they been in others could have qualified for the final. Thing is they are surely going to split the singers up and they are much more likely to pimp the other two. An early draw can still win, as the magician showed, but as we all know it's a big hcap.

Hah! Wake up to find Tom`s price has collapsed, 5.4 best price. Steady money shortening Maxwell all the while suggests he`s got a good slot though, in which case he`ll be hard to beat
Correct CB, a very tough semi, but one in which Tom beat our 4.3 2nd fav, quite possibly into third place |

And Tom hits 1.4x!!! Maxwell good, but red and black, dodgy song, respectful but not overly enthusiastic comments, and certaunly no `WE WANT MAXWELL!!!` from the crowd. THIS IS ALL OVER!!!

5k looking for 1.25, let the money speak!

Maxwell a bit too po-faced for bgt, and they framed the performance and staging in that mould too. complete contrast to Tom.

By:
Yep Cider, gone as well as could be hoped; you have him green?

I've had a very small interest as a casual observer really, first time I've looked at the event is during the final.

And the market suspends, wuth Tom`s price still in freefall, lpm 1.15 COME ON TOM!!!!!

With neither Maxwell nor Loren placed, gotta assume that was the case, which was always the fear. Still quite the surprising final two

people love the genuine variety if there's something viable worth voting for.

i still suspected Tom had done enough though

By:
Some hefty chunks matched at long odd-on in that market picture, and I was feeling pretty confident too. Oh well, bring on Love Island!

probably betting on the social media tickers

Excellent to see a 1.15 shot beat. It instills confidence in the market.

RO is far less significant in the app era, though of course it still signals prod intention somewhat. It didn't feel like they had singled out a preferred winner this year, in the final at least.

"Axel was a clear winner as he won with 19.7 per cent of the final vote.
Meanwhile it was very close between Jamie, who had 14.7, and Tom who received 14.2." |

Dam it
I had a small bet on Tom Ball at 10/1 and when i looked at the price again i could not believe how short he was, so i thought right i will cash out but the market suspended just before i could cash out, i thought what the hell, until i realised i had paused the tv to say something early on in the show  Dam |
