Here's how well
we did with our bets during Celebrity Big Brother 3
In the bets detailed below we made over £300
during the 18-day run of the series. Not bad given that
it was an unpredictable series in many respects, but
the bookies had it sussed mostly and the odds were low
throughout. If you opted to have a flutter during this
special version of Big Brother, we hope that you came-up
trumps.
Overall Result: won £362, lost £30,
making for a Total Net Profit during Celebrity Big Brother
3 of £332.
Sunday 23rd January 2005 (Day 18)
On the last day of the series our Poll indicated that
Bez was just about in the lead, although frankly we didn't
really believe it. However, the bookies were offering
amazing odds on him winning at that late stage of the
game. So, because we couldn't really afford to back Kenzie
(due to his very low odds), we decided to have a punt
on Bez winning Celebrity Big Brother
3. Staking £40 at odds of 6/1, we returned £280
when he pipped Kenzie to victory at the Finale later that
day. This just goes to show that the bookies sometimes
get it wrong, because they evidently thought that Kenzie
was the likely winner. Result:
£240 profit.
Saturday 15th January 2005 (Day 10)
On the day after Jackie Stallone got the boot, we decided
to have a speculative bet on who might be up for eviction
and subsequently get thrown-out on the Monday. Generally,
this is the time when the bookies offer the best odds
i.e. before the nominations have even taken place. With
decent odds of 16/1, we staked £10 on Bez
for a potential return of £170. However, we also
staked £100 on the favourite-to-go John
McCririck at the low odds of 4/5, for a potential
return of £180 (£4 profit for every £5
staked, plus our stake back). If neither one had gone
we would have lost £110, but overall we couldn't
lose once the nominees had been announced. As it was,
we lost our stake on Bez but made £80 profit from
John's demise. We were hoping that Bez would
go really, just because the potential profit was much
higher, but we still made a good few 'quid so it turned-out
okay. Result £80
profit + £10 loss = net profit of £70.

Thursday 13th January 2005 (Day 8)
After the nominees had been announced just a day before
the 1st Eviction, we decided to back Jackie
Stallone to be the one to go, staking £250
on her at odds of 1/6. They were quite low odds, and
to some people that would be too much of a risk for
too little reward. However, we'd gauged public opinion
well and returned £292 when Jackie was kicked-out
with a 67% majority. Result:
£42 profit.
Friday 7th January 2005 (Day 2)
We took to Germaine Greer straight
away, and at the time believed she could go all the
way and win the series. So, we staked £20 on her
to win at odds of 7/1, for a potential return of £160.
However, mirroring Johnny Lydon's walk-out during 'I'm
A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here', when he probably would
have won the series if he'd stayed, Germaine decided
to quit on Day 6, meaning we lost our stake. Result:
£20 loss.
