BB FANS

WITH Maxwell joining the rest of Team Saskia in being evicted from Big Brother, our attention turns to who will be out of the door next.

Science and Craig look to be most in danger of being evicted on Friday, according to the latest betting odds.

Science is 7/4 favourite for the chop with bookmakers Ladbrokes, followed by Craig at 2/1.Derek remains hot favourite to win the series at 3/1.

Ladbrokes spokesman Warren Lush said: "Derek holds the lead but it is shaping up to be one of the most open Big Brothers ever. Neither punters nor bookmakers can pick a winner at this stage."

Whaaaat? that seems SO out of whack with public opinion...Science is fast becoming a fave and Derek is disliked almost as much as Makosi (who is 2nd fave)!

No i want him to stay.

The bookies got the Maxwell vs. Science eviction wrong.

I doubt very much that people could bring themselves to vote for Derek to win.

Anthony seems the more likelier winner. But I would prefer Science.

It's easier for bookies to get sporting odds right, but the the people who set the BB odds are no more sussed than any of us.

Vanessa is favourite to go next on betfair.

Do you think Betfair have been leaked the nominations?

Would be great if Vanessa's up. But if she's up against Craig, he'll probably go.

If Derek wins will tha last one to leave the country turn off the lights.

I'm pretty sure it was them who had Science as favourite to go a week ago today (not sure if any others did) so they might know something we don't. It's unlikely she'd get enough nominations to be up on a normal voting week as Derek, Science, Craig & Anthony are probably the main targets in there after all.

Who ever wrote the article, she/he certainly got it wrong!

Science is currently leading the eviction odds. But that odds is not literally for the 'actual eviction' (because we have yet know who's nominated). That odds is only for 'nomination'. So, basically it signifies the fact that Science is the favourite to be nominated.

But whether he is favourite for eviction, we will only know that once the nomination has been officially announced. Depends on who Science is facing, the betting odds for "actual eviction" may change.

What are you on about Londoner, theres no bookies i can see who've EVER done odds for next Nomination

And Vanessa IS leading that betting market, thankfully

Of course there is. How can they open a market for something that's yet happens?

It is a same concept of putting a betting odds on MU vs Chelsea for final FA CUP (just as an example), when both teams still have semfinal match to play. Such betting odds actually doesn't reflect who will win the final, but it only signifies which team most likely would make it to the final. Meaning that.. the team is considered better compared to their semifinal opponents.

Can I just point out that all odds are bunkum anyway.

You'd have got 500-1 against Liverpool winning the CL at half-time.

Sorry, but give me a break, I haven't mentioned it in weeks!

Let me just milk the last few droplets, with the signings we've made over the Summer, we won't be winning anything this year. (I'm only saying this because I said it last year and reverse-jinxed LFC!)

So anybody could probably win BB. Even Vanessa!!! Aaaargh!!!

Yes, but you only collect when the HM goes, not when they're nominated, just as you wouldn't pick your money up if they just reached the final, unless you backed each-way of course

Hence the bet is for "next eviction"

That explains Craig's sexuality then.

And maybe Anythony's too!
