Ronan 1- 9 on to win. You could get any price on the others. Simon made sure that himself and the judges had to go way over the top with their comments tonight. You cant get better then perfect.

The challengers being Razy and Jai had to have some negativity in their comments to make sure Ronan got it.

Hoping Scotland are voting :D:D:D

    Susan Boyle was a heavy favourite too I believe.

    And favourites in odds don't always win, even hot favourites.

    Spot on re the negative comments about Jai and Razy . . . and Ronan wasn't 'perfect'.
    Scotland will vote, but I fear the worst.

    Odds reflect a combination of voting patterns and what the bookies think they can afford to lose.

    So if large numbers of the (betting) public back Ronan it does not necessarily mean the telly voting public will feel the same.

    I think it's Jai or that boy band myself, Ronan has poor presence. Not nearly cute enough.

    I said before that no child singer has won BGT and it wouldn't happen again.

    The best odds for Jai were during the voting as the bookies who'd had him as a favourite gave him no chance leading up to the result.

    Get in there. I backed Jai at 10/1 and Razy earlier in the week at 8/1. Great result - You can rely on Scotland to vote.:)

    Yeaahh i know i backed that one. Dont think the jockey gave it a great ride in fairness to the horse. A little unlucky in running. Anyway good ole Jai - love it when the bookies get it so badly wrong like tonight. It gives us punters a chance to make a few quid.:D

    Actually it's just the opposite, bookmakers will be very happy that the favourite did not win.
