SPOTY - Could someone Hack the VOTE

Kids opening hundreds and thousands of BBC accounts to vote for
Lionesses in BBC polls

1 email address = 1 vote.

Some that smart these days, they could do it on a ZX Spectrum

All you need to do is open an account as a parent for a child, you're allowed multiple accounts

Israel have a million bbc accounts but aren't sure who to vote for

If rory is part of a betting coup they can't even overpower my money for lando and yours for chloe

13+ can open a bbc account and any household can have as many as they want

Probably keep the window short to limit that a lot

And bots should be detectable

But a parent could make up multiple fake accounts for kids yes

Tricia survived ONE eviction where we maybe expected her to go and was suddenly trading at 2.5. Lol

Anything suspicious the vote would be scrapped and we go to a bbc adjudicator
Mmmm better get making accounts up, vote gets scrapped
Lionesses get called winner coz we know that’s who they really want

It's not a bbc adjudicator. Back to the panel

They'd give it to rory nap

No golfers on panel

The same people who shafted the lionesses with 2 picks

Bets voided regardless i suspect as wasn't decided by Public vote

We'll hardly hear from brushy over the next few days, be making up loads of emails. Peace at last

I'll just let all the rabid f1 fans do it for me

Better hurry up, flip/flop soon The Chloe backers are relentless

Laying time then :)

laying is the pink square

Lando friendless, Brushy must be running out of dough

Seems a waste of time, you just know the rory loons will push him to new lows on thursday

Chloe will go fav on Thursday

Whatevs. You'll change your mind and switch to lando if she ever flips

Do you wanna join my 'ramping subscription service' ?

Get to know the ramps 24 hours in advance
Each ramping day generally consists of 150 posts
Av point drop of ramp = 1.80

Get a Free pen with 'army' lasered on it in GOLD

Do you have any whisky glasses with a bullet in it?

only a horses head

What if you ramp that horse by mistake?

I did Lando heavily, but it seems the lionesses are getting all the pushing every where i look. Shame you didn't listen when 10's

I would be very confident they are favs after there VT

Jolly good

Wouldn't even like to guess how many votes will come from the club push, let alone the lionesses hardcore fans

My biggest regret in life is that army wasn't around during the Tricia Penrose nonsense on CBB

lol, bear that was exactly what came to my mind as soon as I saw this post! I remember Colin.

hearing hackers to use Northern Ireland post codes, so appears like genuine home based support

'hearing'

If rory wins I don't think hackers will be to blame tbh. More boring coonts

Why would hackers go for the fav?

But don't let me stop you getting an excuse lined up

Currently lining up suspects

Plenty of hackers love Rory.

Is this what they're telling you at Gormley !?

yep, that place is like GCHQ

I guess this is called getting your excuses in early

Clyde failed to get his excuses in early comment in early

Rory wins, a FULL report will go to the BBC and IBAS

Serious foul play calls for action !!!

I have 3 suspects that would be fully investigated - that is all - lets see how it plays out

"Rory wins, a FULL report will go to the BBC and IBAS"

Think the nurse is more likely to put said report in the trash

Somebody showing their hand, i have 4 suspects now.

might be an idea to take the pc to the tip and ask betfair to close account

how many bars of soap do you get for fraud these days ?

You don't think the odds not having changed all week is a good indication the market is clean?

Of course you don't :)

Once chloe is back to 7 and lando 4.5 we are back exactly where we were :)

Very likely as the male punters pile in

What we do know is, its possible. That's good enough for me to be highly suspicious and ofc im a paranoid lunatic, but ive been around 'machines' my whole life. Seen manipulation in coding and gadgets out of james bond to rob fruities.

bottom line, where money is concerned there is always potential for skull duggery so if my cash gets taken i'll be wanting answers

Rory cannot win, without help

As long as everyone is playing 'fair' no one has to pick up the soap

Personally I think lando wins, but rory can definitely win. It would upset my reading of the yougov poll, but tbh that's my only evidence that he doesn't, apart from f1 and golf history

If we had broadsheet polls I suspect he'd have topped them

There isn't a single piece of stat based evidence to say Rory can win, not one !!

Now he can win if they show Erica getting hit and make a meal out of it, that's his only chance

Odds don't change = insiders have no new info.

Pretty much cleaned up laying outsiders that didnt
make shortlist, and got paid out by betfair to buy
their Xmas shopping.

Why take unnecessary risks

We have them, we just havn't shared them with you

Then the inquisition can go in the trash

You were suspect number 1 bear

Operation 'clean sweep' can only go ahead once the voting lines open yhtl, thats when they will hit the market

they are still actively accumulating emails and postcodes presently

I've made Lando a bigger winner based on the YG poll, but I think Rory wins.  The YG poll doesn't include NI.  It follows right on the heels of his WDC victory.  It doesn't include motivation to vote and it doesn't weight the demographics.  All four components favour Rory over Lando.  It's quite a lead (on that poll) that Lando has mind.  I also think Rory is likely to shorten on the night.

They've already made a few quid.

They will get to see vts before show and
running order etc, so I assume that's been known
for a while.

They will get a read when 6 become 3,so take care.

When 6 become 3, yes. Winner will be known

Did anyone bother complaining to bf about the mctominay clean up?  Of course not

Happens every year, the insider leaves one other
to hide their footprint, whilst stamping their
footprint all over the market.

A Jock saying he thinks Rory will win, well i never - the home of golf meh

But made Lando a bigger winner, what a clown

Is that so you can take the glory if either wins

Lol. That's kinda what normal people do army. I have rory a nice green but will only take any credit if lando wins

I don't think the edit matters that much, but the market will likely react to it.  That Biker bloke playing the piano, and Beth Tweddle performing on high bars during the show, have long since been axed.  If you have major negative news like Froome supposedly failing a drugs test, then that matters!  Hamilton was also in the news for buying an aeroplane to avoid tax.

I have it on good authority that the BBC were all set to give Phelps the Overseas award in 2004 before he was convicted for drink driving.

Try it sometime, it increases your chances of winning

When Chloe wins, you pair of twonks can go off hand in hand as both losers

It's simple army.  One is roughly given a little under a 60% chance, the other a little over 20%.

LOL

really ??

F1 fans and women footy fans don't punt much - millions are bet on golf on this site

So your basing the 60% win chance on golf punters then ?

Great logic Clyde

Pretty fair. He has lando biggest green. He thinks rory will go shorter on night

These golf punters are so confident, maximum confidence will be on Thursday

Rory will have the strongest VT, IMO, so I do see him getting a bit shorter

nah, too much uncertainty now after irish media backing down and him losing to Scottie

Thursday polls will have Lando winning easily as well

Scottie was nailed on to win POTY, and will have zero bearing on Rory's chances this Thursday

Most golf punters are well aware of Rory going short in running.

The ones burnt in 2014 will

I doubt many know the history tbh. He wouldn't be odds on otherwise

Seems like ive found the missing data why Rory is odds on


Last year, when the Open concluded on Monday because of severe weather disruption, that peak figure on the BBC reached 4.7m. In 2014, as Rory McIlroy won the Open at Royal Liverpool, the BBC’s peak Sunday figure was even higher at 5.5m.

viewing figures since this boom are probably very heavily distorted as well, so data hard to trust


In 2025, viewing figures for pirated streams via Amazon Fire TV Stick devices show that these products have become a primary tool for illicit content consumption, particularly for premium live sports.
Total User Statistics
UK User Base: Approximately 4.7 to 5 million adults in the UK have accessed illegal streams in 2025.
Fire Stick Prevalence: More than 50% to 59% of UK users who watch pirated content on a physical device do so via an Amazon Fire product.
European Scale: An estimated 17 million people across Europe use pirated TV services.
Demographics: Illegal streams are accessed by roughly one in eight young people aged 16 to 24.

Rory's numbers 10 years ago are certainly better than todays F1 figures, he is a little marmite ofc and golf has dropped off and F1 has picked up a fair bit.

I'd say there isn't much in it, but Rory is hitting peak national treasure levels and Lando is just starting out !!

brushy better get on the girls, its a lot closer than he thinks

Does make you wonder if 16.2 million watched the EURO's

How many more watched on dodgy boxes and firesticks

Easily more people watched Golf & F1 on firesticks

It's great when bear is on your side lol

The nation can pay homage in the team award then vote for their favourite driver or driver

Good point, but for for CK. Could be loads of hidden viewers watching the golf/F1 on dodgy stick in comparison to freeview football

Yeah but those two have always been pretty much capped mjc, we've always had there ballpark figures over the years. They all get a boost from it but i would agree golf and F1 the biggest.
