Yeah I can definitely sympathize about not moving in sharpish when the odds are good. I didn't bet on it but Paddy's have apparently paid out on Katie Hopkins on the '1st person to be voted by the public to do a bushtucker trial' as after the camps merged she was the first one to do a trial on her own (fecking ITV must have been in on it). I'll have to ring and ask Paddy's though.
...just like comedy, betting requires good timing.
I go missing for 48 hours or so and
Christopher Biggins of all people is causing a stir by going into the jungle and becoming second favourite (and even the favourite with some bookies!) to win the thing! Now that my dears is what you call a betting sting (well done ITV...well done indeed).
Four storylines have emerged:
1. Cerys and Marc's 'romance' with Marc's girl publically fuming on the sidelines.
2. Christopher Biggins being gambled on as though he
CANNOT lose and that he was Joe Pasquale or Phil Tufnell incarnate.
3. Janice Dickinson being the loudmouth and the one the public love to hate right now.
4. Gemma and Jason's 'romance'.
Betfair's market for 'first person eliminated' is a right ol' mess of a guessing game:
If last year was anything to go by this will be
another massacre (I noticed the odds for Toby Anstis moving in sharply but didn't punt on it!
). Watch out for late odds movements as those scummers at ITV know what they're doing.
OT: Just for the notes it was Janice (11/10) and John (9/2) who were voted by the public to do the third trial on Tuesday.
