Am just wondering whether anyone agrees with the odds on who will win.

I mean Misha is sooo going to the final and quite rightly as she can really sing and Marcus has really grown on me from the first week to now.

But Craig and Janet? am sure they are really nice people but was i the only one when craig sang set fire to the rain to think it was flat and boring and unfortunately Janet has taken a nosedive with some awful performances.

I agree with the bookies in regards to Marcus being favourite but I would choose Kitty and Misha over Janet and Craig at the moment.

Hopefully it will be a Marcus VS Amelia VS Little Mix final.

I am pretty sure Janet will at least make the final.

Hoping for Janet/Misha, Marcus and Little Mix. Varied and interesting.
Dreading a final with Craig, as I could see him winning it if he got that far.

The odds offered by bookmakers are not a reflection of their own opinion, they are determined by the weight of money that punters are betting on a particular outcome.

The favourite, therefore, is the one who most people are backing. Doesn't make it any more or less likely to win, and the bookies don't really care who wins anyway, because they will take bets of varying amounts across the whole field, and they calculate the odds so that they are left with a profit after paying out the winning bets.

Simples.

I think Craig's odds are pointless. Gary will have his Marcus in the final so Craig will go at the first opportunity.

No idea who is backing him or why?

If you have the funds lay him loads, easy money

Bookies are not there to be agreed with. In fact, bookies do not have opinions. Their odds reflect the instinct and opinion formed actions of others. It's a numbers game.

Don't think Craig or Misha will make the final.

Think Marcus and Janet definitely will and I think Amelia will join them now

Bookies usually get it right but genuinely I think this series is VERY hard to predict. First timme in the shows history. The Risk before last saturdays show were joint second favourite with Craig. Just behind Janet. Then they had the least votes.

Now it very much seems Janet, Craig and Marcus are the front runners. I doubt any of the 4 returning will win...just dont see it. Misha still has some backlash over bullygate. Kitty can't connect with the public and even though I actually really like Little Mix I do not think they can win and would not want them to. They would have a better career without winning.

To be perfectly honest id be happy with a Janet, Craig and Marcus final as they are my favourites. Whoever won out of those 3 wouldnt really bother me. Probably be better for Janet to win though because male winners tend to crash and burn post XF.
