Big Brother 11 Betting: Is there a hotter favourite than Josie?

Big Brother 11 / Eliot Pollak / 24 August 2010 / Leave a Comment

BB10 winner - yep, we're calling it already - Josie

"Josie has played a blinder throughout, and could be set to go down as one of the all-time BB greats. A victory for podgy milkmaids around the globe - well played young lady."

No-one can deny the bubbly Bristolian, says Eliot Pollak, and the BB final betting is all down to the minor placings

Ah, the final five. For four of you, a life of anonymity, wondering what might have been. For one lucky lad or lass however, a large wedge of cash to numb that pain of anonymity.

So just ten long weeks after I wrote the original Runners & Riders (in which I slightly erroneously tipped the inevitable winner as a "future national hate figure" - hey - we all get things wrong) it seems only right that I now redress the balance. Because as Roy Hodgson helpfully pointed out in an interview this week, "starts are starts, and finishes are finishes."

Josie (odds to win [1.05]) - The Bristolian has simply run away with it, as one imagines she has done many a time with the dessert trolley. Other than a short lull in the middle when her romance with John James took them undercover, she has played a blinder throughout, and could be set to go down as one of the all-time BB greats. A victory for podgy milkmaids around the globe - well played young lady.

Mario ([44.0]) - The mole who we all wish would just vanish underground has now become near-impossible to watch, as he desperately tries to become 'entertaining.' Too late my man - that boat has sailed, and you sir, are definitely not on it. The beneficiary of the tombola entry on opening night, he has become the biggest waste of a lottery prize since Mikey Carroll. Oh, google it!

Dave ([30.0])- An abomination to Christianity, but a relatively good housemate. He may be second favourite to win, but he won't. He will however, behave like a total moron when he's released from the shackles - the new Narinder (BB2) possibly. A solid bet for runner-up at [1.8].

Andrew ([100.0]) - If there is an outsider (which there isn't of course), it's Andrew (who won't win.) He does however, have an outside chance of coming second ([5.6]), although psephologically, his downfall could be that most of his potential voters will be viewers more likely to vote for Josie. And nobody wastes more than one text on this rubbish do they? They do? Ah...

JJ ([140.0]) - As much chance of winning it as I have, and now that the vote has switched from the eviction model of voting for your least favourite, to voting for the one you like best, JJ should be first out (priced at 1.84). He's simply done nothing to inspire anyone to make a phone call. Possibly including the members of his family upon his return home.
