Do you seriously think that Cameron could ever go, especially when against Lisa?!

Save your money...

If anyone`s gonna clean up, surely it will be Steph?

No don't save your money, spend it!

Everyone assumes that Lisa's gonna go so even Lisa haters aren't gonna bother to vote. It wouldn't surprise me if this turns out to be one of the lowest vote counts ever.

You will NEVER get a better opp to get rid of Cam! The votes at the the final will be counted in millions - your votes then will be a piss in the ocean!

You know it makes sense!

I think I'll cut and paste my message on a number of relevant threads to get the point accross.

Nice try dear boy - and on reduced turn-outs its always worth getting the vote out. However, there was a reason that Lisa was posted at 8 to 1 on. Basically its because she's going to be evicted...

Try and sting the bookies to a serious degree and they'll just pull down the big one on you - they won't pay out. Betting contracts are not enforceable in law. Welcome to the real world...

I can't believe you all care so much to spend that amount of money on it.
It fills me with a slight pity.

Just humour them Bro, it's not real money they're using, it's only Cyber betting.

Basically true, except :-

(a) if a bookie is going to welsh on a bet, he's got to have strong enough evidence that there was a scam going on (police investigations etc.);

(b) most of the betting is going on in the exchanges (Betfair etc.), which will have no qualms about paying out as it's other punters' money you're winning, and not their own;

(c) the bookies run scared at BB markets anyway, and if anyone rings up wanting £100 on Cam at 25/1 they tell them they can only have a fiver.

but why do they bother keeping the book open for Lisa ? surely they cant limit to small amounts if someone wants to back her. £5 on Lisa wont give much back.

I would have thought they would want money on CAm and Steph, and even for 1 of them to be evicted. I would have thought they would then make a lot on the Lisa money. If Cam goes, I presume the money on Lisa far outweighs the money they payout on Camerons winnings. Especially since the books seem to be so imbalanced.

As its Lisa's eviction I asume this is some kind of dreadful pun.
