The bookie was NOT hit for £13575. However, the bookie WAS hit for £6335 this week.

Not amused in the slightest. Just because it is near Christmas do I LOOK like Santa? LOL!

The bookmaker will be looking to top up his bag for Christmas with betting on the final available very shortly.

END OF THE ROAD

So we are nearly at the end of another series. The time when we suddenly decide it is time to look at our bets on who we want to win. So I have logged all the bets that are still running on the 4 finalists, who has made them and how much you could win.

KATIE DERHAM

ArgyTango: 4 bets of 500 at odds of 9/1, 8/1, 7/1 and 11/2. Possible payout = £16,750
Monsieur23: 3 bets of 500 at 12/1, 7/1 and 5/1. 2 bets of 250 at 9/1 and 6/1. Possible payout = £17,750.

KELLIE BRIGHT

ADMR: 300 at 12/1. Possible payout = £3,900.
TheAuburnEnigma: 100 at 14/1. Possible payout = £1,500

GEORGIA MAY FOOTE

Nicky_Gardenov: 500 at 6/1. Possible payout = £3,500.
OldShep56: 400 at 6/1. 500 at 7/4. 500 at 6/4. 400 at 11/8. Possible payout = £6,375.

JAY McGUINESS

curvybabes: 500 at 4/6. Possible payout = £833.
latinloulou: 100 at 5/1. Possible payout = £600.
elsa: 100 at 5/1. Possible payout = £600.
TheAuburnEnigma: 200 at 5/1. Possible payout = £1,200.
abigailsmum: 100 at 5/2. Possible payout = £350.
OldShep56: 300 at 7/1. Possible payout = £2,400.

So there is still loads to play for. Anyone who manages to back the winner can take a leap up the leaderboard. GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY.

With just the winner to be declared, the fight for the Virtual Glitterball couldn't be tighter!

Top at the moment is Heatherbell, closely followed by OldShep, ArgyTango and Monsieur23.
This could all change once the winner is declared and the final bets settled.

With all the gnashing of teeth and screaming 'fix' by those non supporters of Jay and Aliona, the board was running too slow for me to post the final result.
I shall do so now it has calmed down

Well, that's it for another year!! The bookie beat us but only by £1216!!
It was a lot of fun and I would like to thank Johnny for supplying the odds for this years competition. I'll admit it has been hard work but I love playing with spreadsheets and figures and these days have the time to do something like this. There has been so many pm's between Johnny and myself lol

Big congrats to Heatherbell and Monsieur23 on making the big hit last night that was needed to drag the bookie back to us. The pair of you took £10k off him
In my next post, I will post the figures for this year. They are quite astounding!!

Considering I spent 95% of the series firmly in the red, I'm very happy to finish in profit.

Thank you to all the virtual punters who made it possible for the bookie to have the virtual Glitterball sat on his virtual desk! A merry Christmas to all of you, and a happy new year. I look forward to the punters attempts to wrench back the virtual Glitterball from the bookie next year!

The virtual trading department of the virtual bookies is most interested in these stats!
5 virtual punters who need to be closely monitored - especially the top one! I suppose SOMEONE needs to win, but the bookmaker is certainly not there as Santa.

Just as a matter of interest, another interesting stat. The overall % payout of the book was just over 95%. Fair payout if you ask me!
