Are we underestimating Nick?

Current bookies odds for Nick to win are slim.

But... do we not think his mum armed with her telephone and her husbands $$$$$ millions might chuck just a few votes his way?

I mean, surely she knows how much winning would mean to him...

I've been wondering the same thing every time I see his odds of 14/1.

It's not just that his folks are wealthy and could spend a lot of money on their son if so inclined, but also it's the fact that maybe (just maybe) everyone is so fed up and unmotivated by the rest that Nick could get a lot of last minute votes by people who are least offended/annoyed by him.

I honestly can't decide whether to have a punt on him at those odds. It feels like throwing money away, but the nagging feeling remains...

Also, if all this talk I hear about "Far East betting syndicates" is true...well...14/1...just sayin'...

You do read some strange stuff. There was a tweet saying that someone had spent £40,000 saving Harry over the weeks. Another saying that someone had spent £4,000 trying to save Marc. So it's not necessarily the wealthy that throw away money on votes. For all we know stupid money could be thrown at Danny, or even Cristian.

Any amount of money is stupid money if it's being used on Danny or Cristian

We are underestimating everyone actually
bookies are thinking that it will be between Jack, Joel or Chloe
i think we shouldnt rule out anyone tbh

Danny seems to get many support from his "popular friends" and BBBOTS
Nick could "maybe" get external support from his mum & family
Cristian would get support from his fans, "young female" which not afraid to spend alot of money to vote who they want to win. young female voting power is really strong imo

I wouldn't be shocked to see Nick in the top 3 at all, I don't mind who wins out of Joel and Nick as long as it's none of the others!

And Marc was 2/1 favourite to win when evicted. Bookies odds largely reflect where money is being placed not who is voting. I would guess a large number of those voting (and multiple voting) are not betting.

Well I hope they do cos the thought of any of this lot winning fills me with dread. Nick and Joel - although nothing to get excited about - would be at least bearable winners in comparison.

I think those odds were fair enough, if Marc had survived that eviction he would undoubtedly have won the series.

It's such an odd year when there's no clear favourite. In the past, voters used to choose someone who seemed decent and likeable, and was maybe a bit of an underdog. Could that be Nick? He just needs to DO a bit more this week, to get himself noticed. And he would have to do something NICE, not go down the Cristian route of making himself more noticeable by throwing Jade under the bus.

I really want Nick to win but I do think Himself and Cristian will be the first two out unfortunately. I just can't see him getting that many votes. A lot of people who like him seem to have others as their favourites first so I doubt that they would they would put any of their votes his way.
