Big Brother 10 Betting

Big Brother 10 betting update

Half Wit twice as popular in Big Brother Betting

Big Brother betting favourite, Half Wit, continues to consolidate at the head Sky Bet’s market after surviving his third public voted evection. The wannabe MP has been cut to 13/8 from 11/4 to win the show after his friend Angel got the boot on Friday.

Sky Bet’s Big Brother betting expert, Helen Jacob, said: “Never has someone so unpopular with the housemates themselves been such a strong favourite but it seems that the more nominations Half Wit gets the stronger he is in the betting. We’re taking twice as many bets on him as any other housemate at present.”
Rodrigo, who is the only housemate not to have received an nominations so far, is Sky Bet’s 9/2 joint second favourite in the Big Brother 10 betting together with Siavash. Outsider of the pack at 33/1 with Sky Bet is Brummy troublemaker Lisa, with womanising Kris also friendless in the Big Brother betting at 28/1.

Bookie Pays Out On Man United Losing Bets

fergie shockPopular online and high street bookmaker Paddy Power have paid out a reported £1m in losing bets on Man Utd winning this seasons domestic treble.

The blunder which some may see as a clever marketing stunt failed before the final hurdle today when Man Utd were knocked out of the FA Cup at the semi final stage by Everton following a nail biting penalty shootout.  They are still on target for the domestic double by currently holding he top spot in the Premier League and having already won the League Cup following another penalty shootout against Tottenham.

Paddy Power have paid out on bets early before on Man Utd winning the Premier League and in previous times the payouts were correct but a bookmaker has never paid out so quickly on the domestic treble and following this costly mistake it’s likely they will reconsider doing so in the future.

At the time of the payout Paddy Power were quoted as saying “We’re confident that we won’t be left with egg on our faces by paying up early”.

So next time your thinking of placing a long term bet on Man Utd then do it with Paddy and you may win even when the bet loses!  Paddy have a free £20 bet offer for all new customers available here.
