The Bookies - WRONG?!?!

[Ice Man]

Mikey was RED hot favourite to win it with the bookmakers, and when they have someone at the odds he had then he was CERTAIN to win. As they have NEVER been wrong when someones been as favoured as that.

Cannot believe it!

:thud::thud:

That was remarkable! The betting wasn't even close.

Oh well, a few more million pounds for them!

My other half was pleased as she had £2 on Rachel from week 1.. only at sevens though, but £16 is still £16 quid!

they obviously didnt take into account how AMUSING the public can find somebody that BORING

I was amazed they got this wrong, I was shocked that Rachel won, I for one would never have put money on that, I think you could have got 4 or 5 to 1.

What group of people were voting for her.

Having made money last night you will do well to ignore the bookies and look at the digital spy polls. Even though Rex is most hated he is also 2nd most liked and thats what people are now voting for so if they start offering e/w for top 2 or 3 that is a great bet. Rachel is top at 30% with Michael only on 9%.

7/2 is great odds for Rachel

ok I was wrong about Rex, but

I was shocked that Rachel won...What group of people were voting for her.

The Welsh?

The Welsh?

So thats just over 2 million votes for Rachel, Mikey should have then got 5 million votes if its down to nationalism.

It was close, Rachel had 51.3% beating Mikey with 48.7%, I do not read the tabloids or weekly celeb mags so wondered if a paper or something promoted her to win. She must have hit a chord with some part of the population to pull this win out of the bag.

Good luck to Rachel I was very pleased to see some of the defeated house mates get boo'ed and look shocked at Rachels win after many of them were vile towards her for weeks.

I cannot find how many people voted, my favorite series was last years celeb highjack and the final only got about 400,000 votes, was curious how many the final got.
