Whoever was backing Waggy at 8 and 9 of course...
But my favourite was the missus's best mate who bet her hubby a tenner that 1d would win.
Evens, of course
I couldn't believe it. Said I would have offered her 6/4

Is 11 bad enough
 9.2 Mary too and Treyc @ 14.5  |
|
By:
I'd stacks on Mary at those prices, but much was layed lower or the same...
14.5 Treyc is unforgivable though |
|
By:
Numerous bad ones. Worst is probably backing Steven Hunter? Anybody even remember who he is? I thought he would be Louis' wild-card, fulfilling the Wagner joke candidate role.

big fat Scottish g@y iirc

featured in the early audition shows, maybe the first and one of the first acts we saw.
|

By:
Yes. The house-husband.

By:
John Adeleye @7/4 for top over 28 is surely a contender on hearing he was a M.O.B.O. award winner.

Remember the talk before the series started in earnest about why they changed the age limit for the olds (or who they might have changed it for)? Realised, when out walking this morning, Matt would have been in that category.

Bailing on Waggy at 34s having backed him at ridiculous prices early doors... Need to grow some bigger balls!
|
|
By:
Definitely Squares - commented to my wife then that Matt was being set up as the winner even at that early stage... Anything to avoid the Louis kiss of death!

I'll have to look at my list of bets with the firms to see if there is anything shameful. It takes too long to uncheck av. odds on here.

By:
Jesus Henry that is bad
I backed Keri Arindell on the basis of a photo of her going to the judges houses lol only £20 though |
|
By:
I layed Waggy at 144 which at the end of the day he went out but to think I could have waited and layed at 50's ............... let alone 8's!
I took £13 out of him at 144. Could have took about £250 nearly in hindsight. Aaah hindsight ........... a wonderful thing! |
|
By:
I guess 42 on Storm Lee isnt that impressive :)
|
|
By:
 Someone bit even better though 30.00 £123 |
|
By:
Nicolo at 36s (to win not to be first out unfortunately)
Still think without the glasses he'd be in the final now |
|

*did

I backed Nicolo at 38 thinking he was in with a real shout so to go the first week was awful. I thought he had 'something' but yes perhaps the glasses didn't help. |
|
By:
FYD (who?) at 40
- vv small tho |

Stands for Farewell to Your Dosh squares

By:
I don't think backing Nicolo was anything shameful
He was throughly shafted by idiot Dannii. Could have kept us entertained for weeks with his dry wit, if not his singing, and grown a fan base. Storm on the other hand... Neither did I think FYD were bad either |
|
By:
Never had a chance to lay them either
so that really is a low point.Initially got into a right mess really early with the mentor/category markets as they changed those originally planned, although did end up with decent odds Dannii/boys and groups didn't look too bad price wise for a lot of the series. |

To be fair apart from Wagner I don't think any act was bad at all. I thought Treyc was the best singer of the girls and still do. She only lasted about 5 or 6 weeks though. I thought Nicolo was a good singer but we never got teh chance to hear him ..... 1 week! |
|
By:
I genuinely think Storm was worse. Wagner knew he was a comedy act, Storm didn't
|
|
By:
That's what made Storm so hilarious!
Backing Katie to be eliminated about five weeks in succession was not a high point. Eventually got it all back and then some though! |
|
By:
The farm got a lot smaller one week when Paije survived. I've blanked the exact details.
|
|
By:
I backed the girl group at 16s
|
|
By:
Thought I had it sorted this year early doors, having backed Nicolo 12ish iirc and then Storm the following week...
Got greedy last week with Marygate and blew a small Xmas fortune on Cher to go |
|
By:
*Nicolo 12ish and then Storm the following week to go

By:
small bet on Mary to stay despite explaining to everyone calling me for advice that it was a "no bet" cos "something funny was going on"
|

By:
Supporting Rebecca on the back of a poll result. Stupid boy.
|
|
By:
a large bet on Katie to go
when she survived against trey c in the sing off....didn't lay off fell for the Lucy-style sting when Katie forgot her words |

Lay it off when she's final two and you've made money from it. |
|
By:
hey AA. dumping Lucie purely cos she was apotl Leona threat was Cowell at his worst... booo pretty girl, great voice.

By:
Lucie; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb9o08jp6_Y
Why would you dump that? unless you had special project Waisell stylee.. shameless. |

By:
i really liked her style/personality as well
