probably the latter AY.
any possibility that matt's vote last week was heavily sympathy-influenced, and for the final people will vote according to performances on the night? we'll see. have him as my best result now, but that may well change by 7-30 tomorrow night! |
|
By:
Not at all from my pov OTHH. People who weren't watching the show at that time were asking who he was and what happened with him.
I'd compare him more to OD regards the likely fanbase but if reports and polls are anywhere near correct, it appears that Eoghan was getting the sort of vote OD could only dream about - and if they haven't been getting the votes up to now . . . |

Cowell didn't want Leon to win. But there wasn't much he could do about it

onthehushhush,may i ask where you are getting all this info from?

By:
Can someone tell me if Matt has been Fav from the 1st live show, and what price he was when fav first
|
|
By:

He's pretty much been favourite from day 1. I backed him at 9/2 and think from memory it was just before/after the first live show. He's pretty much shortened in price ever since then. |
|
By:
Matt shortened to about 7/2 after the FTEISYF performance at bootcamp, shown at the end of a programme one weekend iirc. He drifted towards 9/2ish on the day of the first live show.
|
|
By:
Thanks Lou so he has been fav from day one about 4/1 cheers
|
|
By:
Denman - a fair question but not one I'm going to answer. Info is posted in good faith on a "take it or leave it" basis.
|
|
By:
After the 1st live show Grimshaw went pole position, 5.0
|
|
By:

Yes that's about right. He must have been 9/2 as that's what I'm on at and my bet says it was the 10th October. So on the 10th october he was definately 9/2. |
|
By:
ah yes that's true GT - i remember getting a decent lay in at around 9/2.
|
|
By:
After early audition show, he was around 14/1 / 16/1, 20/1 in one or two places. In the week before FTEISYF was shown (when it was quite likely he had progressed to live shows from the rumours around) he was about 8/1, 10/1 in a couple of places.

OTHH 09 Dec 10 21:28
my info is that OD have been "doing a Lloyd", ie hovering around the 10-12% level, unable to make decent gains even when singing last. Cowell has resigned himself to them not winning. The only surviving act other than Matt to have won a week is..... Cher! .http://www.metro.co.uk/tv/850077-matt-cardle-and-rebecca-ferguson-neck-and-neck-for-x-factor-victory Last paragraph of this article disputes what othh says ![]() |
|
By:
Squares you remember him at 7/2 before the first live show cheers
|
|
By:
Rebecca will turn on the turbo boast tomorrow night to win the race. Cardle's voice is slowly creaking and croaking to loserville.
|
|
By:
Yes, and I can also remember the incredibly short prices the firms were able to lay Cher back then and literally salivate over it.
Grrrrrrrrr ![]() |
|
By:
chepster, i notice you've gone 8/11 - so presumably you don't give the metro info much credence?
|
|
By:
chep..are you staring down the barrel again,mate?
|
|
By:
Last question lads do any of you vote in these polls
|
|
By:
Not me in the polls or the show.
|
|
By:
Rebecca and One Direction have both been in the top two of the results since the beginning of the live shows,' our mole told us.
I find that hard to believe |
|
By:
forget that last post...I've just read it again and thought it meant every week which it obviously didn't
|
|
By:
i find it *very* hard to believe.
|
|
By:
The truth is hard to take sometimes.
|
|
By:
the problem with moles is that they burrow to hard-to-reach places - but then can't see anything when they get there. I understand OD haven't been in the top two at all.
|

By:
I'd agree with othh that Matt should be shorter, but I've not totally given up on Rebecca yet.
I made it 1.5 Matt, Rebecca 4, 1D 11 and Cher 50, in another thread awhile back and I'll stick with that. I agree with GTL that some of Matt's lead this week will be down to a sympathy vote, as we saw most noteably with Vickers. Also as most of us seem to agree, Rebecca has the plum duet and the potential to create a 'moment' It probably still wouldn't be enough, but you never know. I'm happy to go into the final with them virtually level green and pile on Matt in-running if Rebecca doesn't impress |
|
By:
lol music to my ears othh.
One thing is sure from all of this, is that RMB claiming we're all rampers on here is utter bull. Since othh has posted info 1D have actually shortened and Matt's price has hardly moved. If his info can't move the market, nothing anyone else writes on here can ![]() |
|
By:
LOL very true fll!!
|
|
By:
Ramping is futile.
No one cares what we think ![]() |
|
By:
the market still gets pushed around quite easily
someone took rebecca down from 4.8 to 4.2 yesterday in the space of 5 mins..after she's spent 2 days at 5.0-5.2. someone also had a go at pushing matt up to evens..flashing up some big lumps....hopefully he'll be back. |
|
By:
I would disagree I think Rebecca should be shorter, these polls could be influenced by punters. Rebecca I feel has a wider fan base appeal in my opinion, she looks it better nick at this stage of the competition, so Im still pretty confident Rebecca will surprise a few.
|
|
By:
aa
Yep ................ and don't they feel foolish now (not that ONE of them will admit it though) |
|
By:
ONE of whom Lou?
It's fairly obvious that the vast majority of money in the market doesn't read the forum, let alone post on it. Thank God for that I say. It means othh can come on here and share such great info with us and we're able to adjust our books accordingly(if we wish to) and therefore hopefully make more of a profit. |
|
By:
fll, what's he on about now? stick to the FACTS and you won't go far wrong by any chance?
|
|
By:
Just the usual taking digs at the decent people on this forum for no good reason.
|
|
By:
figgy, it felt like admitting defeat blocking Lou, but it was the best thing I did. Despite making hundreds of posts he hasn't said one insightful or useful thing, he just spreads negativity. Don't let the guy sap your energy, just block him.
|
|
By:
I blocked him a few days back - I've got absolutely no interest in what he says
|
|
By:
Matt was still as big as 8/1 after his bootcamp performance with one firm and 6/1 with at least one other.

PS: Don't start slagging off cheese!
O have been told off for calling Rebbecca marmite. This is becasue the conspet only entails loving it or hating it. So am am trying a new concept "Cheese" Some love it, some can take it or leave it and some can't stand it. [smiley:crazy][:p]![]() |
