Bookies Blog

Big Brother has been going for over a month now, we’ve already lost five and now we’re just left with the final ten house mates. Freddie, who is up for eviction, is currently bookies favourite at 7/4 to win the competition, the chilled out chap from Market Drayton is winning over the sympathy of voters as the rest of the house continue to bully him.

On Friday he goes up for eviction against Sree and the bookies really don’t reckon Sree has much of a chance of winning over the viewers this week. Sree is 1/150 with Paddy Power to be evicted, but can be backed at 1/50 with Betfair, so unless the public have a drastic change of heart it seems inevitable that Sree will be our 6th contestant to leave the house. The Business student from Hatfield often comes across as arrogant at the expense of Halfwit (Freddie) and therefore it is no surprise that bookies reckon Sree’s up for the chop this Friday. However, if you think Freddie is going to be ousted you can back him to go at top priced 16/1 with Corals or get odds nearer 40/1 with the betting exchanges.

There’s still a long way to go in this Big Brother, Freddie could still fall from favour and Paddy Power offer just 6/1 on a new housemate taking the cash prize. Other potential winners include Rodrigo and Siavash, both of whom are 5/1 with most bookmakers. The beautiful Dogface meanwhile remains 25/1 outsider despite support from the majority of male viewers watching the Endemol show. Unfortunately for both Dogface and Endemol, however, not even the 20 year old model’s great assets can draw in the male viewers this year.
