Bookies Blog

The big brother producers will be delighted by the turbulent start to series 9. Alexandra’s odds have already drifted to 200/1 on paddy power but I doubt she’ll be off for a while, the public seem to enjoy a bit of banter and she’s certainly the cause. Meanwhile, early favourite Kathreya has eclipsed the votes for Darnell and Mohammed at 3/1 on Betfred and Stanjames. I think Michael also has a good chance to win, the bookies have him marked just above Katheyra at 5/1 (general) which isn’t bad value considering the amount of people who’ve marked him down to be at the finish line.

As for next eviction, Mario seems to have captured the newspaper’s eye. Although a born schemer, he lacks notable intelligence hence landing himself in the public’s black books with his recent failed escapades. The bookies have him down as 2/5 (general). Steph, Mario’s co-conspirator has also landed herself in deep water, it seems her fraternizing didn’t do her any favours. William Hill has her at 7/4. Respect.

Top man – again Michael appears to have earned someone’s approval as the bookies chalk him in as the favourite to win this event. In the event of a personality failure the obvious choice seems to be Luke, but I would also keep an eye on Mohamed’s figures. Top Woman – at this stage I’d be unwilling to bet against Katheyra.
