Sorry, but the 3's has gone. You can now only have 5/2 Anita to go next.

As soon as latinloulou backed Anita, the 3/1 was away. 5/2 was the price on offer after that bet. The 5/2 has now also gone. Now 15/8 Anita to go next. Prices reduce as bets are accepted.
A full updated betting list will be in the next post.

But it was offered at 3/1? That's surely not fair?

Ok fair enough. Before they're reduced though and people make bets at that price before its reduced and that doesn't seem fair.

I get that prices reduce after people bet but if they bet before its announced that its reduced its not really fair cause they're betting on a price that's not revealed and can be made up to whatever suits.

To keep it fair, if you are not happy with the price given you can void your bet if you wish. Cant be fairer than that. Prices reduce as bets are laid, and as I was working all day I could not accept the bets until I got home. Even although it is virtual & just for fun, you are quite right to call a stewards enquiry. After all, it COULD be real folding at stake!
Good luck with your semi and final bets.

Ok no worries. But yeah I'll void thanks.

Anyone placing a bet needs to remember the number one rule in the bookies which is : ALL PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO FLUCTUATION.
I hope this makes it a little clearer. If you are not happy with the price given, you can ask for your bet to be voided which will be done at the sole discretion of the bookmaker.

That's fair enough. Cause if someone makes a bet at a price that is then changed then it's only fair they should get to void it.

Good luck everyone who's bet

As far as Ms.Derham goes, yes, that would be a really bogeyed result for the book, but I am not worried. I see this as down. Jay or Georgia is a cert. in my opinion.
If not, the virtual receivers may be called into the virtual bookies.

Your bet was first wrongly recorded in post 1132 as £500 @ 7/2. This was then amended (wrongly) in post 1136 to £100 @ 4/1. This was clearly another mistake as the board price at the time of bet was 7/2. Sorry about the multiple mistakes with your bets, but it is pretty difficult to keep track of what is going on all the time. Mistakes are easily made! Could I maybe suggest in any future bets you actually state the prices you want? This may avoid any confusion in the future.
Have a good Christmas & good luck with your virtual bets on the semi and the final!

Next elimination book about to open. ”

Aww, I was hoping to clear my debt.

I know how difficult it is just running the spoiler thread, so I will forgive you.

As I cannot in all fairness bet on the spoiler time this week as I am the recipient of the magic call. Can I take £500 on Antia to go at 2/1

Fair enough, but that does not disqualify you from having a bet. Same applies to abigailsmum. I completely trust you both and know you would not "fudge" the official spoiler time for the sake of winning a virtual bet. Final Spoiler thread this week. Boo!
My guess for D/O would be Kellie v Anita with Kellie going.

Anyway, your bet goes. £500 @ 2/1 Anita to go next. Now 15/8 Anita.

Please could I have £500 on Anita to be eliminated this week?

And when you have made your adjustment, please may I have another £500 on Anita to be eliminated this week?

I could delay passing on the info until my time slot. Having worked in a bookies, the one thing you were not allowed to do was bet in your own company's shops. You had to go elsewhere.
