An idea for a game- shoot it down if you dont like it!

I will have a 'bookies' for the series, and will be offering odds- on a variety of different things, you can then place a bet of up to £100 on these odds, you can put £100 all on one bet or £50 on two etc etc.

Each week you get a fresh £100 but if in one week you make £250 thats yours to keep, whereas if you make -£25 that also goes against you in future weeks in the leaderboard...

How does it sound?

These odds will lossely be based on odds from other markets.

TO LEAVE THIS WEEK:

Alexandra Burke 75/1
Austin Drage 55/1
Bad Lashes 25/1
Daniel Evans 18/1
Diana Vickers 50/1
Eoghan Quigg 12/1
Girl Band 8/1
JLS 9/1
Laura White 750/1
Rachel Hylton 30/1
Ruth Lorenzo 6/1
Scott Bruton 6/1

THE LOSING MENTOR THIS WEEK:

Cheryl Cole 30/1
Dannii Minogue 10/1
Louis Walsh 8/1
Simon Cowell 15/1

I will keep it simple this week, but in future weeks, i could add more, if people want them added.

Bets must be made by 19.00 Friday!

Outright is harder to do, as the odds change so often!

Maybe when it is down to the final 5/6...?

Great idea - will get back to you with my bets.

Just wondering though, why are Laura's odds so different to everyone else?! Is it a typo for 75?

LOL, I was thinking that too, coz at 750/1 its a MASSIVE price, but then I thought that there's probably less chance of her going than there is of me winning the X Factor. So I abstained
