Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: "Ben's win has cost the bookies millions. He's been a popular bet throughout the series and the odds suggest his career's going to get off to a flier."

    Ben's always been fairly steady though, hasn't he?
    Fleur was a huge outsider at the beginning and then grew in popularity with the bookies as the show went on. Andrea kind of did the opposite.
    Ben's always had good odds I think.

    Predicted he would win from about half way through the lives... and I usually suck at predicting the XF (my biggest flop was predicting that James Arthur would get 'nowhere near the final' early in his year :blush:).

    I think bookies talk a load of sh1t and it's best not to believe a word they say. With the margins they operate at, it'd be very rare for them not to have a nice profit on a series like X Factor (or most events for that matter)
