X-Factor Has New Favourite

Liam Payne will be hoping it will be second time lucky as he made it through to the X-Factor boot camp in tonight’s show. Having previously been dumped out of the show two years ago, William Hill now make him the 8/1 second favourite behind Gamu Nhengu who is 7/1 to win the show.

Cher Lloyd wowed the judges and audience with her performance tonight and Hills make her the 12/1 joint third favourite with Mary Byrne and Matt Cardle. The French Jedward, Twem have been made 66/1 by Hills.

Finally we have seen someone emerge who can compete with Gamu, who has been Top of the Pops since day one with our punters,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill X-Factor Odds: 7/1 Gamu Nhengu; 8//1 Liam Payne; 12/1 Mary Byrne; 12/1 Cher Lloyd; 12/1 Matt Cardle; 14/1 The Reason; 20/1 Katie Waissel; 20/1 Holly Burns; 20/1 John Adeyele; 22/1 BAR

With Paddy Power, Cher is favourite…..

Paddy Power have installed who they call a Cheryl Cole look-a-like Cher Lloyd as their new favourite to win this year’s X Factor. I am not sure that is too kind on Cheryl, but the girl can sing.

The 16-year-old rap singer who wowed the judges with a feisty rendition of Soulja Boy’s Turn My Swag On is now the 9/2 favourite to follow in the footsteps of Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke and win the show outright.

Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power said: “The standard of this year’s contestant’s just gets better and better each week. Cher shone in her audition. She’s completely unique and already online forums are raving about her. She’s now the one to beat.”

Paddy Power have made return ho peful and fellow 16-year-old Liam Payne, who made it to Simon Cowell’s house in 2008, their 7/1 2nd favourite to win the show. Liam impressed Simon with a polished performance of Michael Buble’s version of Cry Me A River.

Mary Byrne, Ireland’s answer to Susan Boyle, is still amongst the favourites in the betting at 10/1.

John and Edward Gone From X-Factor

The bubble burst as favourite Olly Murs and JEdward in Bottom Two…

Suntalk listeners will know that I am relieved that John and Edward were eliminated from Sundays X-Factor, having laid £50 at 100/1 to Martel Maxwell who was sitting in for Jon Gaunt. Their elimination is a big relief I can tell you! Having taken some stick, its my turn to dish it out!

Simon Cowell had the chance to eliminate the Twins a couple of weeks ago but played the let the public decide card. It back-fired on Cowell in the media and it seems the support for JEdward disappeared tonight too.Cowell said he gave Olly a “contemporary song” in Fast Love. It was actually released in 1996, 13 years ago, positively up to the minute!

So the novelty act has gone, now perhaps it can be a singing competition, which Cowell said it was until the ratings and headlines made him do a U-turn.

Danni Minogue made that very point but may have signed her own P45 as Cowell has already stated that the show will be better served by three judges, not the current four. I said a couple of weeks ago that Cowell had his Gerald Ratner moment when saving JEdward. I still think the X-Factor has peaked and we will see a steady decline from here.

The elimination of JEdward tops a great weekend for me. Racing Diary readers were in clover with big racing winners on Saturday, seven out of ten weekend football results forecast and today Vic Venturi won the Becher chase at a whopping 7/1 on Sunday, a great price. Kauto Star landed a charity bet for Children In Need for us on Saturday.

I will sleep a bit better tonight knowing I do not have to find £5000 to give Martel. Instead I get £50 from her, which I will ask her to send, with my complements to Help for Heroes.

I wonder if Gaunty will be asking on his show on Monday, “Is the X-Factor Finished?” Tune in to find out from 10am on Monday.

Britains Bookies were this evening dancing in the aisles as the gruesome twosome Jedward FINALLY exited stage left from talent show The X-Factor.

The Irish duo had been heavily punted to win the contest, and Bookmakers William Hill were staring down the barrel of a seven-figure payout if the Brothers Grim had gone all the way.

Ruperts Adams, spokesman for William Hill, said: Jedward would cost the industry a cool seven figure sum and we couldnt be happier that they are going home. We also make it a betting certainty that the vast majority of those with a musical ear are ecstatic too!

William Hill offer odds of 25-1 that the pair make it a Festive farce with a Christmas Number One, and 2-1 that they top the charts at some point during 2010.

X-Factor, Simon Cowell Kicks Punters in the Pockets

X-Factor 2009

X-Factor 2009

Lloyd was the red hot favourite to get the elbow tonight, punters piled in on what looked a certainty! But once again X-Factor 2009 sprung a surprise and Lloyd Daniels was saved. The sing off on Sunday night in-fact featured the terrible twins, “JEDWARD” for the first time ever. During the final show down the Grimes twins traded at 100/1 on Betfair, they were a foregone conclusion to be voted off.

With their fate in his hands sat Simon Cowell, all he had to say was “The act I am send home is John and Edward” and that would have been it, game over! Here is how it happened…

For weeks Simon Cowell has said that X-Factor is a singing competition and that the Irish twins are talentless, going so far even as to say that if they were to win he would leave the country. So why did Simon Cowell not deliver the lethal blow?

Well first and foremost, ratings and headlines. Lucie Jones is quite obviously a better singer, in this so called singing competition, but Cowell took the easy way out for the second week in a row.

I think that long-term Cowell may look back on that decision as hid Gerald Ratner moment, selling out talent for ratings and headlines. The public will not be happy and Cowell may find his credibility rating on a par with that of politicians.  From a punting point of view, it shows that this show is wide open.

I personally have a vested interest. On Suntalk I laid Martel Maxwell, who sat in for Jon Gaunt a bet of £50 at 100/1 about the twins. My liability stands at £5000, so I may be talking out of my pocket, but the twins were heavily assisted in the sing-off by a heavy backing vocal which drowned them out, hiding just how bad they were.

Jon Gaunt- Suntalk

Jon Gaunt- Suntalk

The potential of the twins winning and their shortening in price has seen me get plenty of stick from Jon Gaunt. Last week, on his Suntalk show, daily 10am-1pm Gaunty was critical of Cowell, in particular his failure to cast the deciding vote and give the ‘public the final say’. His argument being one that we have said in the past here on Racing Diary, if it is a public vote then let it be a true public vote, bot half a democracy.

So what will Jon be telling his listeners this week?

Last week I called Simon Cowell a wimp when he refused to make his mind up but this week he was completely RIGHT. The public want Jedward or should that Be Deadwood?

He proved himself to be a real showman with tonight’s decision. The facts are there is no stand out singer this year, no Alexander Burke let alone a Leona and the public know it and I think even now Simon Cowell can see it.

Also the sing off is only a gimmick to extend the show. The public should be told each week who got the most votes it should only be a public decision and if you work on that premise last weeks decision by Simon was wrong as was this weeks.

IF It is a singing competition the winner should always be decided ONLY by the public not the whim of the bloke who owns the show, the singers contract and even the future of ITV.

However it is really funny that Carl Harris of the Racing Diary could lose a massive bet to Martel Maxwell.

One thing we can agree on is that in this year’s X-Factor we should expect the unexpected. Bookies report turnover to be up by 300 per cent this year as the public gets on the twins bandwagon. I had £100 on Olly at 6/1 at the start of this competition and would be sitting pretty now, except for this huge liability of Jedward. I honestly thought I was there tonight and that Simon Cowell would come to my rescue. God knows how this will pan out now, but one thing that punters can be sure of, its that X-Factor will stay in the headlines. More money will be punted on the X-Factor as a result.

It seems that the bookies, in fact everyone from Simon Cowell to Jon Gaunt and Martel Maxwell are loving Jedward. I certainly am not a fan! No way can they win and I still believe that, honest!

I will leave the last word on the matter to Gaunty, whose advice I will take on board after this competition;

Stick to the horses bog boy!!!

I will, don’t worry about that! And the best bet of them all is that I can expect to get plenty more stick on Suntalk this week!

Bookies wasted no time in getting their prices out for the next round. Here’s how they bet and what William Hill have to say as a reaction to the dramatic events;
Bookies William Hill cleaned up after Jedward survived the bottom two! One Hills customer was so sure they would get the boot that he risked £10,000 at 1/16 that they would be ousted. Olly is the 7/4 favourite with Jedward now 2/1 to get the boot next weekend but 10/1.

“There is the potential for the worst result in reality TV betting history, should Jedward win but so far they have made us a small fortune!” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

William Hill X Factor Winner Odds: 7/4 Olly Murs, 3/1 Danyl Jones, 7/2 Joseph McElderry, 5/1 Stacey Solomon, 10/1 John & Edward, 16/1 Jamie Archer, 33/1 Lloyd Daniels.

X-Factor Latest

Bookies William Hill have slashed the price of Jedward winning the X Factor from 150/1 to 10/1 after the public once again voted in their droves to save them. Hills are now convinced that Simon Cowell is a closet Jedward fan after the twins were in the last two to sing on Saturday night and offer 4/1 that they are given the final slot this coming Saturday. The twins are 5/2 to be the fifth act voted on Sunday and Olly Murs is the favourite to win at 5/2.

“One of the few proven reality TV stats is that acts who perform later in any programme have a better chance of getting votes. For example, the top three in Britain’s Got Talent were the last three to perform on the final show. We understand that Simon sanctioned a move for the twins last weekend and we are just 4/1 that Simon lets them sing last again on Saturday,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

JEDWARD SPELLS DOUBLE TROUBLE FOR BOOKIES
Bookies Paddy Power have further cut the odds on X Factor hopefuls John and Edward to 10/1 after the brothers sailed through to the next round with their performance of Freddie Mercury’s ‘We Will Rock You’.
Paddy Power are now estimating a whopping payout of more than €400,000 should the Lucan twins go the distance and win this years X Factor. It would easily top the record as the biggest payout in X Factor history!
Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power, said: “John and Edward must have been cats in a previous life because it looks like nothing can kill them off. If they have got nine lives it could be just enough to see them get to the final!”
Yet again the twins are tipped to escape the bottom two this week with Paddy Power quoting 4/6 that they’ll stay in the competition. The brothers are now more popular than one of the series early favourites with Paddy Power putting them ahead of Jamie (Afro) Archer in the betting to win.

X FACTOR AND SCD LATEST ODDS FROM PADDY POWER

John and Edward Grimes, aka JEDWARD are once again the main talking point this week. The twins’ odds have been slashed to 12/1 from a whopping starting price of 100/1.

One time favourites Danyl and Lucie have slipped right down the betting to 9/2 and 6/1 and it’s baby-faced Joe McElderry who now leads the pack at 3/1.

As for Strictly, the outfits might have the wow factor but this year’s contestants have so far failed to raise our temperatures. Ricky Whittle remains the 4/6 favourite to dance his way to victory.

Paddy Power takes a look at this week’s reality TV betting for X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing along with some hot tips to bag a winner!

THIS WEEKENDS BETTING UPDATE

X-Factor
Love them or loathe them, credit has to be given to the Grime twins. Not only have their odds been dramatically slashed to win but they’ve managed to avoid being in the bottom two week after week. Judging by the odds the terrible twosome still have another week or so left in the tank and we can’t wait to see what they pull out of the bag next! Danyl Johnson on the other hand appears to have fallen out of favour with the public and could be in trouble this week.

Tip of the week: Danyl Johnson to get the boot on Sunday at 12/1.

Strictly Come Dancing
Can anyone beat the gorgeous Ricky Whittle? Absolutely they can! Ali Bastian is the 3/1 second favourite nipping at Ricky’s heels and bookies Paddy Power think it’s way too early to write off a shock win!

Twins Now 16/1 for X-Factor…

CONTROVERSIAL X FACTOR twins John and Edward Grimes landed the highest number of public votes at the weekend, The Sun can reveal.

The bombshell has sparked fears the Irish duo could give Simon Cowell his “worst nightmare” and become the shock WINNERS of this year’s show.

The news emerged as police were called to control hundreds of hysterical fans who yesterday laid siege to the X Factor house, where the telly finalists are staying together.

John and Edward look out the window at the fans below.

Bookies Paddy Power have slashed the odds on Irish hopefuls John and Edward Grimes from 50/1 to 16/1 to win this year’s X Factor. The terrible two-some are now the biggest liability on the bookies list and in X Factor history with Paddy Power facing an estimated payout of €200,000!
Only ten days ago on the 17th October, the twins odds had drifted out to 100/1, and were considered no hopers to win the competition. But a public endorsement from Robbie Williams and the fact they’ve managed to escape the bottom two three weeks in a row has seen their odds plummet.

And Paddy Power have even more reason to sweat over the Grimes gamble. The bookie gave John and Edward’s dad John Senior a €1,000 charity bet on the boys at whopping odds of 50/1. If the unthinkable happens and they go on to win, €50,000 winnings will be donated between the Marie Keating Foundation and the ISPCA.
Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power, explained: “It’s hard to believe that only ten days ago the boys were as big as 100/1. Nobody really stands out this year the same way Leona Lewis or Alexandra Burke did so there’s a real chance the lads could pull this off with the novelty factor. And let’s face it – it would be worth it just to see Simon’s face!”

X-Factor Shocker Shakes Up Betting….

Bookies William Hill had one of their most successful nights in reality betting history after the twins were saved again, winning a five figure sum! They are now 7/4 to go next week!

“We have been betting on the X Factor since the beginning and even I am going to have a fiver on the twins, they could win this,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

Hills now rate Joseph as their 3/1 favourite to win, with Danyl out to 9/2 from 3/1.

John & Edward To Be Next Out!: 7/4

JOE McElderry is the new sole 3/1 favourite to win X Factor with Ladbrokes after Danyl Johnson was placed in the bottom two last night (Sun).

The Reading-based act, who had been 50/1 for the axe, is out to 4/1, from 7/2, to walk off with the contract. Ladbrokes spokesman, Nick Weinberg, said: “Had Danyl gone it would have been the biggest upset in reality TV history.

“He survived but his prospects have take a real battering.”

“Simon must be fuming that his programme is becoming a laughing stock and we think there is a real chance that he will take steps to ensure that the judges can get rid of the twins asap,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

Despite being in the bottom two Hills still rate Danyl as their 9/2 second favourite and think that his fans assumed he was safe and did not vote in numbers, but Joe is now the 3/1 favourite.

Bookies William Hill took a tumble after hot favourite Rikki Loney got the boot from the X Factor. “We were convinced that John & Edward would get the boot so were happy to take a lot of money for Rikki and that decision has cost us big time,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

William Hill were very impressed by Joseph and now have joint favourites with Danyl & Joseph offered at 3/1.
