If they did it would be annoying and unfair. If they haven't ever got it wrong it would be nice for them to proven wrong this year. Tradition is not a thing stuck by in this BB really is it. All things have flied out the window. No 2 boys and 2 girls in the final 4 for the first time, re entrance of housemate (stupid thing to do IMO ripped off the public) and other rule changes.

Suppose thats an ok person to lose to as otherwise the Helen and Paul story would never have happened.

Also, in the Adele/Jade/Jonny/Kate eviction in BB3, the bookies said that Jade would go, but it was Adele, and the bookies had Jonny favourite to leave in 4th place, but the fish-filled public proved them wrong

I don't think 3 finals is enough to draw any conclusions about how accurate the bookies are. The bookies don't want Cameron to win because they will lose a lot of money paying people who backed him early on, they want Scott to win because his odds have been pretty consistent from the start.

if they stood to make say 10 million pounds by a certain HM losing or winning im sure that they would spend 5 million on making sure that that person won or lost.

Do the bookies have inside knowledge? A question that has been of big questioning over the series' of big brother. For a bookies view, and experience during Big Brother, visit here to read Sean Boyce's story from behind his desk (and on TV!) at Ladbrokes (and on Ri:SE!)

Cheers,
