SINGLE ELIMINATION

Bottom 3 market VOID.

Shake up in 5th elimination market.

but will they void the 6th elimination market, or bets taken so far?

or will they void 5th because it is different now to how punters thought?

ffs

CHAOS AT BETFAIR.

What will be voided what will stand

Not sure. Almost certainly will void B3 market, and keep the 5th Elim market.

Betfair have obviously done a 5th and 6th elimination market to suit whatever x-factor decided to do.  The 6th elimination will obviously carry on to next week.

nah, not sure, people have been trading on false pretences

FFS ... why didnt they tell people this last week... GGRRR

This makes Wagner more likely as 5th elimination as Belle Amie may well be bottom in the votes, but if wagner is with them they will surely send home Wagner and give the girls another week.

No way they'll void 5th market mate, they kept the 1st market and that was against the grain. 100% sure that 5th market will remain and paid out.

very messy. People have a case to get them all voided

What about the Terms and Conditions ITV posted saying double eliminations til Week 4?

What an absoloute joke.

Wagne won't be bottom 2 bobysboy, probs a 5/1 shot at the least imho.

the whole thing has to be voided out surely. the potential 5th elimination (i.e. one with the lowest votes) could well be saved by the judges now.  hate this show even more now.

When did they say?

TB,

It was reversed the first week and they didnt void then. So cant void now.

Spot on Goldie.

Dermot said just at the end FLL.

A mistake?

What exactly did he say?

it doesn't matter how they go the 5th elimination market is exactly that

yeah maybe, you think they will hold the 6th market over until next week, even though people will have traded on non runners

6th Elimination should be void as it came under the heading 'Week 3' [;)]

HTH

FLL - made a big point of it now being a single elimination.

Might have flashed up on screen in big caps too.

FLL he made a point of it: only one act goes home tomorrow.

Good point HF – well noticed!!

imo they have to void 6th elimination, and bottom three

cheers othh.

So they're ripping up their own rules.

very odd...and very annoying :(

ffs

.

Bottom 3 will definitely be voided, and I suspect 6th Elimination will be.

5th Elimination will stand.

Annoying for punters.

bottom 3 is a given.  that will have to go.

6th also given it fell under the week 3 heading.

5th should go too imo but i can't see them doing it.  too messy.

The rules say

Bottom 3

If there is no elimination during a scheduled elimination show, the market will be reopened at the end of the show with unmatched bets cancelled and the time delay removed. If for any reason a scheduled elimination show is cancelled or postponed, then this market will remain open and all bets will be settled once the relevant elimination has been confirmed. Betfair will not void or settle bets on individual runners unless this market as a whole is voided or settled.

Bottom 3
At the start of the scheduled live elimination show this market will be turned in-play with unmatched bets cancelled. The market will be suspended when voting lines close. Customers are entirely responsible for their positions at all times. If there is an announcement of any change to the established elimination procedure or any ambiguity as to who has the lowest public vote then Betfair reserves the right to void this market at its absolute discretion. Subsequent events would NOT affect the result of this market.

If for any reason a scheduled elimination show is cancelled or postponed, then this market will remain open and all bets will be settled once the actswith the lowest public vote have been confirmed. Betfair will not void or settle bets on individual runners unless this market as a whole is voided or settled.


5th elimination

Which will be the fifth act to be eliminated from The X Factor 2010?

At the start of each relevant scheduled live show this market will be turned in-play with unmatched bets cancelled. The market will be suspended when voting lines close.

If a 'final showdown' is declared in respect of this elimination, the market will be re-opened with unmatched bets cancelled once the acts participating in the ‘final showdown’ have been declared. The market will then be suspended when the elimination is announced.


So it sounds like Bottom 3 voided, 6th elimination carried over and 5th elimination to continue.

Makes a mess of it though.

Cat amongst the pidgeons me thinks. [;)]

i agree with above, i reckon they will keep 5th but bin the rest.

Extremely painful, was balancing out losses in the outrights with winnings in the bottom 3 market. That's life.

yes teddy true, they prob wont void 5th, the others are toast

would laugh if its now voided and then the x factor still somehow declare a bottom 3.

jack

Thats what makes this carnage, theres gonna be alot more people pissed off than happy at this imo.

Reckon Paije is in a spot of bother. Looks a fair price 9s, thoughts people?

Could a three-way sing-off work?

Far better than John this week to be totally honest

agree gb

john was awful.

You'd fancy it to be between John, Paije and Bellamy. Can see them just wanting to carve Paije up though. CBA to get involved though but Paije is my tip at 9s so I can smash the copy and paste if it comes in

Was just thinking about that OTHH - seems very unlikely to me.

Thought John was abysmal aswell, just at the prices, 9s Paije, 3.5s John I'd side with Paije for the value. Don't see Wagner in the bottom 2. Could be a shock in there though, Treyc looks susceptible.

No way a 3 way sing off. Just bottom 2 as per the usual system.

How could voting work in a three way sing off?

FWIW I think

5th Elim - defo stands
6th Elim - probably stands (only the Week 3 thing against this decision - Betfair may decide to void as the safe option)
Bottom 3 - market should be suspended pending tomorrow's show - off chance of a 3 way sing off.

There won't be a 3 way sing off ffs!!! Why would they!!

Will be bottom 2.

It was a rhetorical question angie. Please retain your panties [;)]

why is bottom 3 market still live?

I can't! I'm going ballistic here!

If it were 3 in a sing off I suppose they'd all vote for the acts they thought should go, and then highest tally leaves, but there'd be uproar if they changed it to that.

They won't void or close it, until tommorow when they realise there is no official B3.

Simon says who stays

I understand it's a "normal" B2+sing-off. (Unless they change their minds again overnight, ffs)

Konnie on XtraF was asking judges who the thought would be B2 .

John vs Treyc

deadlock

Good shout that GB. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

May revise it after getting fig's twitter though [;)]

With the Bottom 3 - could they settle the bottom 2? Technically, it's an individual market and those in the bottom 2 are in the bottom 3?

People have layed shorter odds for b3 than they would have for b2
though

It'll void

ttt for those who aren't up to scratch

Top shout GB.

yeah they have to void bottom three, but it looks like they are running over 6th elimination, which is very controversial
