This Week I am opening up the 'To Win' market. You can bet as much money as you like on this market, HOWEVER this comes out of your 'Overall' total money. Therefore you must be in profit to bet on this market.

You Have to work out if now is the best time to bet on this or wait a couple of weeks- however you can bet each week if you want.

THE ODDS WILL CHANGE WEEKLY- for example Diana is 7/1 this week, so if you bet £10 on her this week at the end of the series you get £80. Next week her odds might be 5/1 in which case you get £60.

I will use NXM as an example: This week he ended with £1,900 in profit.

This week he bets his usual £100 on JLS leaving. They Do Not Leave.

He also put £150 on Diana to win.

His overall score next week would therefore be £1,650 (£-100 for JLS, and £-150 for his bet on Diana). He will never see that £150 again, unless Diana wins in which case he would get back £1,200 at the end of the series.




This Weeks Odds:

To Leave:

Alexandra Burke 25/1
Austin Drage 10/1
Daniel Evans 4/1
Diana Vickers 15/1
Eoghan Quigg 20/1
JLS 9/1
Laura White 45/1
Rachel Hylton 6/1
Ruth Lorenzo 4/1


Losing Mentor:

Simon Cowell- 8/1
Louis Walsh- 8/1
Danii Minogue- 2/1
Cheryl Cole- 13/1

To Win:

Alexandra Burke 15/1
Austin Drage 8/1
Daniel Evans 40/1
Diana Vickers 7/1
Eoghan Quigg 5/1
JLS 12/1
Laura White 12/1
Rachel Hylton 19/1
Ruth Lorenzo 25/1

Specials:

Dermot to say that 'Your Saturday Night Starts Here'- 3/1
Daniel mentioning his wife: 3/1
Ruth to Sing in Spanish: 5/1
Rachel to do a victory dance- 6/1
JLS to be wearing the JLS branded clothing on the VT- 3/1
Laura to mention she is from Bolton 4/1
Diana to do none of her hand movements 10/1
Neither of the bottom two having been there before: 4/1
Both of the bottom two having been there before: 4/1

CLOSING TIME FOR THIS IS 19.00 ON FRIDAY!

To clarify,

Daniel would need to mention his wife as in 'I sang for my wife' or 'Doing this for my wife' or similar.

Not just mention her in passing- Me and my missus went to thorpe park or wahtever!

I'll place a bet on who I'd like to win later in the week. I need some clarification first...can I place multiple bids on who the to win market (for example can I put X amount of money on laura to win and put X amount of money on austin to win in the same week, or would I have to wait another week to place a bet on someone else.)

£100 on Daniel to leave

Will place bets on the winner later in a couple of weeks I think.

Question: If by chance I dont win anything this week, that would take me down to £20 is that all I have next week or do I get another £100 to bet with?

Is there a typo in Eoghan's "to win" odds or is he really at 5/1???

Answer to the questions raised:

Jonners17: You can bet as much as you like on an artist to win, if you choose to bet on multiple artists that is up to you. The simple reason why JLS and Louis Walsh have different odds is that i made a mistake! But if people back Louis over JLS then it makes me happy! lol

BexPex: You get a fresh £100 every week. So even if you have £-220 like SuperstarIII you can still bet £100

Ogg Monster: Yes Eoghan is 5/1, personally can't stand him, but a lot of people do. I also think that it will come down to the girls and him, and therefore the girls votes will be split.

This week I'm again putting my £100 on Daniel to leave (didn't work two weeks ago )

Given that I am temporarily awash with make-believe cash I'm also putting £400 on Alex to win at 15/1 (on the basis that I genuinely believe that she should and will win) and £500 on Diana to win at 7/1 (on the basis that if she does win at least I'll have something to cheer me up )
