I haven't liked him since his ageist remarks about and to Michael when he wanted to do a trial. I thought he showed a nasty streak.

Foggy has implied odds of 48% on the Betfair exchange, Jake implied odds of 43% , Mel 9%. Too close to call between Foggy & Jake.

I hope Foggy doesn't win - mainly because he copied Jimmy-the-show-off's trick of giving himself a wedgie and prancing round the camp like a prize idiot. Imagine the flak if Jake had done it, he's have been pilloried on here.
Jake has his own agenda. Very obvious to see.

Unlike Foggy and Mel who are simply in there to find themselves ?

The difference is Jake is a Wannabee and F&M are both has-beens with Mel trying revive her career and Foggy in there simply to earn some ££ ?

All three will be in CBB in the future I think

This I definitely agree with.

I personally can't see Foggy doing CBB. Part of why he wanted to do this one is the challenge of the whole thing. It's much less a challenge to sit in a house all day. I can't see the nature of it appealing to him as much.

Even though I'm sure he's happy with the money from this, I'm pretty sure he's not desperate like some celebs get. He's earned millions from his racing, and appearances since, and from the little I've read he and his wife seem to have been sensible with it. So I doubt he'd *need* to do more reality tv.

Seems the odds are close now (at time of posting) between Jake and Foggy

Very close, exchanges are the best measure because they are traded like a stock vs other punters meaning the odds are actually reflective of real % chance and not of the bookies trying to balance their losses out.

On the betfair exchange Foggy is decimal odds of 2.2 / Jake is 2.3. Incase you've never dealt in decimal odds that means that £1 on Foggy would win £1.20 and back, £1 on Jake would win £1.30 and back, it is literally too close to call. That means they are separated in implied odds by only around 1-2%, I've never seen odds this close in an I'm a Celeb final before.

On a side note, i just saw someone put a £1000 bet on Foggy on the betfair exchange! Some big bets coming in on Jake/Foggy tonight.

The markets are heading towards a Foggy victory it seems, he's been backed into odds of 2.1 now shortening as we speak.

Wonders when they will stop taking bets before the start of tonights show or just before Mel leaves ?

Personally If I was to have a punt I would put it all on Jake

I've got money on Foggy from when he was 5/1 so I've cashed part of it out so that basically if Foggy wins il make £50 profit if anyone else wins il break even. Theyl stop taking bets when voting lines close.

The bookies have been very slow in changing their odds, especially during the shows.

I might be heading the right way for an account closure though

An outraged thread would have been created instantly, that's for sure.

Who cares, as long as it's not Mel. What a thoroughly disappointing final.

Huge support for Foggy on the exchanges, looking more likely he has it in the bag
