Hi there, been reading the various posts about the possible twist, ie; an ex HM going in with the chance of winning and although I do not believe the chance of winning part, I do wonder this, if you had backed a HM to win and they had been evicted, then torn up or thrown out your betting slip, then they went back in and won, is there any way to pick up any winnings that would be coming to you?
The reason I ask is because I know that after a horse race is finished I see many throwing away 'dud' slips and have always wondered what would happen if there was a stewards inquiry and the winner disqualified.
Hope this question makes sense and that it can be answered.
Cheers

Whether that will stay the same until that housemate is elected remains to be seen.
if that is true, then I would really like an answer to my original question, because I am sure many people backed Nikki to win and destroyed their slips after her eviction. This must factor on why it would be illegal to allow her (or any other evicted HM) to win.
However I think that if someone had say Nikki to win, and she was evicted, betting slip gets thrown away, Nikki comes back and wins....well I think they'd be told it was their too bad for throwing away the betting slip!
Yes, I think back to that couple who won the lottery and lost the ticket; Camelot knew they'd won it but, no ticket, no winnings.
Thats exactly where i got my logic from, if you lose or misplace a ticket you cant really prove that you had it in the first place, if Nikki or anyone else comes back and wins every tom Dick and Harry could say they had binned betting slips!
Crazy situation Endemol are getting themselves in...cannot believe they would allow us to spend money to vote someone out just to see the housemate return again !!
So no reason to whinge if you lose. You should bet on something less liklely to be fixed.
You may have to wait a while so they can check it's not claimed but you can definitely still collect your winnings.
Endemol is making a programme for entertainment - not for bookmakers and the people among us that like a gamble.
I've heard it said before and can't help but agree (and I'm one of them!) If you're stupid enough to bet on Big Brother then you deserve it.
I once lost £210 betting on Gareth Gates to win Pop Idol. That's one to tell the grandchildren - I once bet £210 on a stsutterring man to win a singing contest! Doh.
I dont think you would because she was evicted.....
