Any more virtual bets anyone?

How does your book stand before the final, Johnny? Are you ahead or in trouble?

and thanks for providing some fun for us during the series ............... I shall look forward to skinning you next year

As far as the book goes, Pixie & Jake getting knocked out was bad. That leaves Caroline as not only odds on fav. to win, but a complete disaster of a result for the book. Any other result & the book wins. (see post 409 above)
Have you voted in the Spoiler Thread awards? (see above - betting still available!)
If I were running a "punter of the year" award (which I might next year) YOU would be well odds on to win it! Look forward to laying you some more virtual bets next year & remember that the book has not yet closed. 2 events still left to punt on!

I'll have a ton on Monaogg for supporting actress please and a ton on yourself for entertaining lol miserable odds in the entertainment bracket, eh?

Bets both go. £100 Monaogg best supporting contributer @ 2/1 & £100 Myself to win most entertaining contributer @ 2/1.
This has caused later betting. It is most embarrassing, but I am now 6/4f to win most entertaining. This will more than likely be down as I never win anything at all, not even a virtual award! 2/1 Monaogg has also gone. Now 7/4 Monaogg. Very latest betting below.

Makes up for all my previous losses.

As Strictly has now finished & all bets have been settled the Virtual Betting Shop is now closed. The bookmakers will return around September 2015 with the first event being the Spoiler Time Guess.

Merry Christmas to all virtual punters! ( Winners as well as losers! )

See you all in September. Full season profit/loss account to follow.

Here are the totals for the virtual book for 2014.


Field (total bets laid) = £5160

Payouts = £5457.75

Total Loss for book = -£297.75

Total % payout = 105.77


Who says bookies always win? Rubbish!

See you all next year!

Was a pleasure helping towards your loss, Johnny lol

Thank you very much for the fun and look forward to breaking you next year.
Merry Xmas to you and yours, matey

Thank you for this thread Johnny it's been fun, hope to see you next year!


BTW - is there a price on Richard Madeley signing up for next year?

Now that's a good idea, Loulou!!!

Run a book on possible contenders for next years programme. Close the book at the end of July so no cheating could occur.

It was a pleasure doing virtual business with you. It will be even more of a pleasure to get my virtual cash back from you next year! LOL! Have a good Christmas & enjoy spending my virtual cash!

I would love to run a book on this, but the problem would be actually making the book as I have no idea whatsoever who the runners & riders will be. Sorry!

Any ideas?
