I don't want to give away any spoilers, but I don't understand why I can't bet on all 4 couples (e.g. on Paddy Power)? Anyone know?

Because life is not fair.

There will be 3 couples in the Final. Double elimination this weekend.

There were 5 couples in the Semis.

Where do you get all 4 couples from?
Does that explain it?

Sorry I meant 5, not 4. Since there are still 5 couples in (for another few hours), why can I only bet for 3 of them at the bookies? That implies to me that the bookies know who will be eliminated this evening???

Well almost everyone on here seems to know thanks to the official Spoiler Thread and all the unintentional spoilers posted since last night.

You should be pleased the bookie stopped you wasting your money (I hope).

Ah i see, so they kind of know. Thanks. Think Strictly need to work on their leaks!

The results are filmed in front of an audience so they can't really stop things leaking out in reality.

It's disgraceful, BBC have so many leaky pipes and not enough plumbers.

I don't think bookies are allowed to offer odds on people they know have been eliminated.

There can be ONLY ONE!

They'll be lucky to keep their heads.
