James, Christopher and Sam are the only people shortening to win.

Early days.

Can't believe Bear is so high up

They're not wagering money because they like him, he's so awful that some people will vote to save him for the hell of it, and because they can.

Interesting that the 3 I like are Sam, Ricky and Biggins! I hope these 3 stay at the top!

I'm keeping my eye on James. If he's up and survives this week I can see him catapult himself in the Top 5.

Biggins will win, it has spoiled the show for me, I do not like the man

Me too

Although it's early days I'd put my money on Sam. I don't think it's as clear cut for Biggins as people think.

Interesting. I'd say Chloe's worth a bet definitely.

I doubt if much money has been waged at all, that's why not much movement for Sooty Bear, still he's already been proven wrong that we should all have taken the 12/1 on him

The producers are giving him preferential treatment over the others. The producers seem very selfish and just thinking what profit they can make through biggins being in.

Quick update before tonights show.

Christopher- 2.82
Marnie- 8.0

Bear- 26
James- 27
Chloe- 36
Katie- 36
Renee- 38
Saira- 44

The young boys are losing support quick.

Bear 26, not much of a tipster is he, imploring the public to take 12s?

It's nice to see Sam up there in the top 3. She could win this if she continues as she is.

At 38/1 Saira is worth a punt loose women always have a strong base, throw in a pity incident and shes home and dry

Marnie will still win probably the time to back her at around 7/1 now.

Don't no if Saira will get the votes from the Loose Women viewers.

Cause she isn't as well known, as the Loose Women who have entered the house in other years

Don't see how she'll beat Biggins...

Remember people said the same thing last year to me in I'm a celebrity how will Vicky Pattison beat Tony Hadley.

It was easiest 14/1 winner I ever had

There is no large fanbase for biggins in this show, said for a while he will be medically retired once he think he might not win

Tony Hadley had never featured on a RTV show so we didn't know he'd be a moaning tit. Similarly Vicky was down to earth and Nice. Marine is a vindictive bitch.

By the same token Biggins has won the same show as Vicky - Biggins is the most obvious winner since Julian entered the house

Haha what did he say on launch? Was 12, 14 or 16/1? Either way. I think he ain't as popular as he thinks. He probably expects to be 2/1 right now

Wow at James surging as I expected him to!

He's on BOTS all the time, so he's well known to the BB audience and as it's been pointed out he won IAC. Depends on if he disgraces himself. He came close today. Marnie has totally disgraced herself and seems to be continuing on that path. People will forgive the "lads" she won't get off as lightly. IMO of course.

Sam winning wouldn't surprise me.

Dundee - Vickie and Scott have a far bigger popularity and fan base than Marnie, she's one of the more unpopular Geordie Shore cast members plus as you've seen she's got a real nasty streak in her. I will lay against her at any odds, she ain't going to win this.

My opening night bet on Biggins is looking good, on Lewis not so. Going to punt on James each way now with a bit of production meddling he will avoid Biggins and make the final.

It's a relief. I thought James would creep up in the odds if he got time to show his potential to people before getting evicted prematurely. Looks like it was only just in time too.
I do predict that he will be seen as a villain at some point in the series though, justifiably or thanks the machinations on BOTS.
