Last night Ulrika Jonsson caused the ‘biggest upset in reality TV history’ by winning this year’s edition of Celebrity Big Brother. Before the final show she was availble to back at 12/1, but even more stunning is that she drifted out to 66/1 with some bookmakers when put up for eviction with Lucy Pinder.

She was also matched at a high of 94/1 on Betfair. Cast your minds back to when Ulrika was a 2/1 shot to be evicted:

I said I though that Ulrika wasn’t a bad bet at 25/1 last weekend, because she is very funny. I was secretly disappointed to see her drift in the winner market, to a giant 66/1. She has now come back into 33s, which could be a better bet than Lucy to get evicted, which is what I expect to happen tonight.

Yep, Lucy also got evicted. We also tipped her up as a potential winner just after the show had started:

Ulrika Jonsson is certainly of interest at 25/1, because she is used to performing for the TV cameras. I’m not referring to her dubious love life, but her presenting skills. There hasn’t been any great money for her yet, but I’m happy enough with the current price to latch on now.

Recommendation:

2pts 11/4 Ulrika Jonsson Top Female

1pt 25/1 Ulrika Jonsson Winner of CBB

1pt 6/4 Verne Troyer Winner of CBB (Saver Bet)

Perhaps even more amazingly was the flop of Verne Troyer at 1/5. I thought that our saver bet on him would get us out of jail as the money came pouring in for him, but finally we have managed to oppose a losing short priced favourite. JLS and Martina Navratilova were both runners-up, but Ulrika has rewarded the Bookies Blog value-seekers!

4/5 Ray Quinn looks like he’ll oblige in Dancing on Ice, but the bookies won’t be too worried. William Hill have reported a profit of £100,000 from last night’s shock result.
