Will Labour Lose Another By Election – You can bet on it

The date of the Glasgow East By Election was announced last week, Labour have just entered the competition by selecting Margaret Curran as it’s new prospective MP. The date of the By Election for Glasgow East will take place on July 24th.

The by election has been caused by the resignation of Labour MP David Marshall due to his poor health. When David Marshall fought for his seat at the last General Election he won by a staggering 13500 votes, over the SNP who came second, making this a pretty safe seat.

This would explain why Paddy Power bookmakers are making Labour favourite to keep this seat. If you fancy a punt the current odds are 8/11. You can also get evens on SNP taking this seat, which…

Coronation Street Whodunnit – Who kills Liam Connor?

Coronation Street’s sexy star Rob James-Collier who plays Liam Connor has decided to quit the show.  The former knicker factory boss will be killed off in a sensational story line later this year.  The plot is likely to pull in the viewers, though not nearly as much as the who shot Phil Mitchell line in Eastenders, or the who pushed Claire Cunningham line from Hollyoaks, but will manage to instill an amount of intrigue.

Liam has been a familiar face on the street for the last 2 years.  Having overheard a conversation about Underworld, he and his brother stumped up cash and bought out Adam Barlow.  There was a bit of a struggle between him and Danny Baldwin, which is…

Betting on TV shows – How to bet on the outcome of Reality TV shows

BETTING ON TV SHOWS – HOW TO BET ON THE OUTCOME OF REALITY TV SHOWS

Over the past few years or so reality TV shows have become increasingly popular and so has the betting surrounding such shows. These include X factor, Big Brother, I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and various others. The reality TV show most popular as a betting medium is Big Brother, for which bookmakers create numerous markets. After the initial few weeks, odds compilers tend to adopt very firm opinions with regard to the betting markets and short priced favourites begin to dominate. However, such short priced favourites are by no means sure-fire betting propositions. In 2007, the twins, Amanda and Sam, were as short as 1/5 in the Big Brother betting on…

Henley By Election – Who’s a Safe Bet?

Boris Johnson resigned his Parliamentary seat when he became London’s new Mayor, which is causing a by-election.  The seat of Henley will be contested on June 26th, when voters will be asked to vote in a new Member of Parliament for their constituency.

Henley is one of the safest Conservative seats in the country, when the voters last had to choose their MP in 2005, the Conservatives won 53.5% of the votes.  The Lib Dems returned 26% of the votes with Labour in third place with 14.7%.

This time around many parties are fielding a candidate, though after the Conservatives stormed the Crewe and Nantwich By Election last month there’s really not much doubt that they won’t return a similar performance.

The candidates are as follows…

Big Brother: 1st Eviction Betting

Tonight sees the first eviction from the Big Brother house. You will remember that four housemates who had a secret mission, failed that mission and were put up for the public vote. Mario and Stephanie failed to pull the wool over the other housemates eyes by hiding the fact that Mario and Lisa were in fact a real couple. Luke was also in on the secret, and had to help reinforce the secret. You can read more about this task and how it failed on our post – Big Brother: Who is up for the Public Vote?

Back at the beginning of the week, Stephanie was favourite to be sent out of the Big Brother house on tonight’s live eviction special. However as the week as proceeded, Mario…

Big Brother: Who is up for the Public Vote?

Well, Day 5 in the Big Brother House. Didn’t those few days go fast. Let’s take a look at the run up to the first choice of evictees:

Big Brother started the series well, with a secret mission designed to fail, by splitting up real life couple Mario and Lisa, and switching to Mario and Stephanie. The secret mission was that the housemates were not to find out who the real couple were.

In a twist to the secret mission, Big Brother had laid on a Wedding for Stephanie and Mario, much to Stephanie’s disgust, she played along with it, and the ceremony was yesterday. Straight after the ceremony, Big Brother announced that there was a secret couple in the house, and that the housemates had 1 minute…
