Was the voting similar last year?
Leona made it to the Top 5 with AMLT last year I think

She was eliminated in the second round, didn't make it to the phone-in vote on the actual night.

I notice from the Brit Award Terms & Conditions section of your website that, for Best British Single:
"Cast your vote by clicking on the link next to your favourite single of 2008. Multiple votes are allowed, but only your last vote will be counted. Voting closes for each round as follows:

I'm a bit confused at to what this means, where it states that "multiple votes are allowed, but only your last vote will be counted".
Does this mean that, in Rounds 1-4, if I were to vote 100 times for Take That and then once for The Kaiser Chiefs, from the same IP address, that only my vote for The Kaiser Chiefs would be allowed?
If this is correct, will multiple votes on the night of the final also be discarded when the vote count takes place?

The key thing with odds is that they represent the outcome where the bookies are most likely to make profit (or minimise their losses).
In a number of non-sporting events, and particularly where a public phone in applies, the bookies find it incredibly difficult sometimes to predict how that vote will be received, as they generally have no insider knowledge (despite protestations to the contrary).
Where the bookies generally get it right is for example on football, but obviously even this is not an exact science.
The clearest example I have seen of the odds completely failing is when Leon won X Factor.
10 minutes before the final started, he was clear second favourite, at about 4/1, with Rhydian 2/7 and Same Difference 6/1.
In the break between the 2 shows, Leon went out to 9/1, Same Difference closed to 7/2 and Rhydian remained constant at 2/7ish.
The reason? Punters were backing Same Difference in their droves, and deserting Leon in their droves. The bookies had to respond by cutting Same Difference's odds, and conversely increased Leon's, not based on what they thought of Same Difference's & Leon's performances, but based on trying to minimise their losses should Same Difference win. Its all about market forces.
Anyway, I've rambled on WWWWAAAAYYYY to long
(i still think the biggest travesty is with big brother this year with Victor staying and Jade going ...lol )
i guess relying on odds is not a great thing at the moment

Okay , I get it lol
Although I was more interested in seeing Leona involved in some betting again rather than see her chances!
