TV Show Betting and other unusual bets
It’s now possible to bet on the outcome of reality TV shows such as Big Brother, who will be the next Nancy in I’d Do Anything, Strictly Come Dancing, X Factor etc, as the shows are not pre-recorded and the outcome is decided by a viewers vote, which is strictly regulated. And the weird and wonderful bets don’t stop at TV programs – You could place a bet on the Eurovision Song Contest, which way the FTSE is heading, who will win the next General election, whether it’ll snow on Christmas Day or how hot it’ll get in Summer!

John & Edward (JEdward) may have had their dreams dashed on Sunday when they were eliminated from XFactor, but betting firm Paddy Power haven’t stopped speculating on their future. There are no less than 10 different betting markets available on these twins, and although some are highly unlikely there are one or two little gems, which makes you think – well in JEdward land it’s quite possible.

Peter Andre to Enter Jungle?
Bookies Paddy Power have slashed the odds on Peter Andre re-entering the jungle to 3/1 from 5/1 following his estranged wife’s premature departure.
Jordan fled the jungle after the public nominated her to do a 5th consecutive trial. The glamour model had entered the jungle for a second time to get some “peace and quiet” and to try and win back the publics affections.
Her decision to leave early has sent the rumour mill into overdrive that an appearance from her ex could now be on the cards. Punters too have been quick to react – over €2,000 has already been staked on the return of Andre.
Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power, said: “Peter is not stupid. He knows just how popular I’m a Celebrity is. If…

Xfactor Danyl knocked off top spot
What a difference a week makes. What on earth happened laast night in X Factor?
We saw a couple of mediocre entertainers gain more votes than not only the sensational Miss Frank, but also the favourite to win Danyl Johnson. Is the apathy of the British people really doing an disservice to these hopefuls? I think so.
Simon refused to ‘blame’ the press, and I think in this case he was right to, I believe that people didn’t vote for Danyl as they saw him as a sure fire winner. Miss Frank on the other hand, whilst putting on a great performance on Saturday’s show, really didn’t do anything to keep them in the competition last night. I don’t think Miss Frank had the quality to reach the…
