I think it's only fitting the FOTY should have the honours of launching this year's thread.
After my resounding insight last year, I'm looking forward to another successful season ahead.
Although I am slightly concerned by the host line up.
Emma Willis (ok)
Josh Widdicombe (ffs)
Johannes Radebe (Meh)

6 months to come up with this load of old tripe.
Could be the beginning of the end of a great betting special.

The voting being leaked to someone/people betting on it is a bit more problematic than the new presenters. We're down to a handful of specials events that are playable now, and how long #1 will persist in being so is far from certain, as the liquidity for 2025 was sadly quite poor (obviously all bookies are a write off in that regard).

Is she going back in this year? Think we'll all be jumping on her if she is. Probably be very short odds from the off.

Yep, this will be the first year ever we go into a series knowing the insiders are influencing the price. Going to have to hope to find a winner before the voting opens

Unless they get a runner I'm particularly interested in following the progress of, it will be a no from me.

I imagine they'll ask her. No rumours as yet though

It will be annoying if we get voting leaks again this year. Although the value is generally before the dancing starts.
Sam the perfect example of that last year

Bit of a pony line up all round isn't it
Going to be disastrous viewing figures. Should benefit those with big online followings.
I'm going to hold fire for now, at least until the parings are revealed.

Gun to head at this stage I'd go with Lawrence Robb

Ok pairings revealed. Who's jumping on the LR train with me?
Ticks literally every required box needed to win this at a canter. Think Kelvin Fletcher + a strong regional vote.

Robbo already more popular than Dani on the strictly fb in a fraction of the time. Grab him while the odds are half decent.

'Genius!', 'never seen anything like it!' says Motsi
Perfect start from our winner, showing incredible musicality, yet being picked apart from Craig, while getting the 'ringer rubbish out of the way, beautifully lined up for the redemption story from Craig

Won't be nowhere near as popular as Lacey (the favourite)

Lacey's right in the sweet spot for the demo, but Dani's a highly endearing sort, she was excellent on Celeb SAS

Some confusing movements on Johns price the last few days. And some continued now takes him into the front runners position. Really odd. Can he win it? Yes I guess he can, but I'm not understanding the odds at the moment

One of the biggest over reactions I can remember.
Can't ignore the Katya factor. But a little known guy from Northern Island going into week one at 3. Horrible odds. Hardly a Bill Bailey.

His odds did halve this week before he even danced.

There's five or six really good movers, another three or four who've got real potential, so 3.x is market madness.

ps; thanks for reminding me of my best ever SCD campaign, having backed Bill at 130

I was considerably later to the party. But what a winner he was :)
