I could have layed Rylan at 1.76 earlier today to be eliminated tomorrow. Now I can only get 2.06.

Similarly, I could have backed him only at 1.74 but can get 2 (evens) now. (This is from Betfair btw). Wonder if his odds will increase even more over the next 24 or so hours.....

I'm so bad when it comes to understanding betting odds, I just went on the Oddschecker website and they've got Union J last, does that mean they've got the worst odds? or is it Rylan?

You've probably got it on name order. If you change it to fav then you'll get a different order depending on what odds you're looking at (fav to win, next elimination etc.)

Oh okay, thanks - I don't understand why the "winning act" and "next elimination" aren't consistent... in winning act, Union J have the worst odds but then when you check next elimination Rylan and Christopher have the worst odds

The way I see it is it means Union J are (second) least likely to win, but if they are in the bottom two (most likely against Rylan or Chris) they'd be saved, therefore they're only 3rd favourite to leave.

Same situation with Chris, the bookies believe he has a higher chance of winning than Union J, but if he lands in the bottom two he's a gonner, so his odds of leaving are higher
