Ok here's the current odds
http://www.oddschecker.com/betting/m...69x/sid/903391 Can anyone have a go at explaining to me what they actually mean? this odds stuff really does baffle me. I mean if a person has a 1/4 chance of winning is that more likely than if the person had a 1/5 chance winning? Or am i just not making sense, probably the latter

Im constantly checking Oddschecker( though i have no idea what they actually mean) and Pete's odds seem to be drifting, whereas Nikki, Glyn and Aisleyne's are shortening, not a good sign right? or am i just worrying over nothing? And the odds always shorten then with less in the BB house. Don't forget there are many who won't have a bet to change the odds but will just vote and many of them could be Pete fans ![]() We can only do our best and hope it is good enough. It's pretty petty if some are just voting others to stop Pete from winning. They are really willing to spend their hard earnt pennies for that I actually find that quite a sad thing for them to do, but hey it's their money I remember something similar being done with Jason BB5, many were voting him to try and topple Nadia's popularity. It didn't secure him a win, it only pushed Dan, a sure fire runner up at the time into third place. Nadia still won, with an overwhelming vote percentage, the biggest in BB UK history so far I think you will find So their plan didn't succeed then, even with the Scottish vote behind Jason, so it's not likely to succeed this time either

Nadia received almost 3.9 million votes in the final week, compared with 1.3 million for Jason. Daniel got 685,995, with 347,051 for Shell.
Taken from here At the time people were voting in their thousands for Jason and don't forget he had a fair ammount of the Scottish vote, to try and topple Nadia and still it didn't work

Can someone please explain to me, the above as im really curious as to how the odds thing works, Pete's odds have drifted from 1/5 to 1/4 then back up to 1/5 again, what does this mean? lol

Best odds from that site in order of fav to least fav to win teh show: Pete 1/4 (Out and out favourite to win) Nikki 11/2 Glyn 17/2 Aisleyne 25/1 Jennie 33/1 Richard 50/1 Mikey 150/1 Lea 150/1 Imogen 200/1 Grace 200/1 |

Watching repeat : Pete mentioned being on tour with The Communards with his mum - so much for people saying he was trying to 'cover up' the fact that his mum was a 'successful' musician a few days ago
.It's rare to see so many straws being grasped to garner some (any) kind of 'criticism'. Last edited by waving not drow : 10-08-2006 at 15:33. |
