Here's how well
we did with our bets during Celebrity Big Brother 7
In the bets detailed below we made over £500
during the month-long series, which is not bad given
that we only placed five bets, all of them winners.
It was an unpredictable series in respect of the potential
Winner though, and no-one would have believed you if
you'd said that Alex Reid was going to win just a week
before the end.
We hope you did okay too if you joined us and had
a little bet during Celebrity Big Brother 7. If you
didn't, you know what to do during Big Brother 11 this
summer!
Overall Result: won £509, lost nil, making
for a Total Net Profit during Celebrity Big Brother
7 of £509.
Friday 29th January 2010 (Day 27)
We'd considered backing Vinnie Jones earlier in the
series, but by the time we seriously thought about it,
his popularity was on the wane. So, we held-off until
the last day of the series, when we put £400 on
Alex Reid to win at the odds of 4/11.
We went for the bet because he was top of the Polls
by miles, but we weren't massively confident because
it seem like such an unlikely outcome. Indeed, normally,
we would have staked quite a lot more cash at that stage
and at those (low) odds, but given that Alex wasn't
even in the running just a week before the Finale, we
didn't want to risk placing a substantial bet. Anyway,
we made nearly £150 profit when Alex was crowned
the Winner later that day, beating Runner-up Dane Bowers
by over 17% in the public vote. Result:
£145 profit.
Wednesday 27th January 2010 (Day 25)
Fans were voting for a Winner, and on the Monday we
thought about backing Ivana Trump to
be first to go at the last Double Eviction of the series,
feeling that she would probably have the least support
in a 'positive' public vote. However we held-off placing
a bet, but because her odds hadn't gone down any further
by the day of the eviction, we decided to stake £300
on her at the low odds of 1/3. Our bet came good when
Ivana became the 6th Evictee, leaving with just 5.74%
(to win) and netting us a profit of £100 (plus
our stake back). Result
£100 profit.
Wednesday 20th January 2010 (Day 18)
It was another Double Eviction, but this time around
we didn't feel confident enough to guess which pair
would go. However, it seemed obvious that God-botherer
Stephen Baldwin would be first on the
public's hit list, so we staked £400 on him to
become the 4th Evictee at the low odds of 2/7 (£2
profit for every £7 staked). This won us a profit
of £114 when he was first to go on the Friday
night, having received 50% in the three-way vote.
Result £114 profit.

Sunday 17th January 2010 (Day 15)
We had announced the nominees the day before in our
news section, and in the article we predicted that Lady
Sovereign would probably get evicted with about
60%. So, we put our money where our mouth is and backed
her to go next with a £200 bet. The odds were
a really low 1/4 though, so bookies were already on
to the probability of her demise, but nevertheless we
made £50 when Sov left after having received nearly
70% in the public vote. Result:
£50 profit.
Wednesday 13th January 2010 (Day 11)
The three nominees had been announced at the weekend,
and by the Wednesday afternoon it seemed obvious that
Katia Ivanova would definitely go and
that Heidi Fleiss would probably join
her. So, we placed a bet on that duo in the Double Eviction
market with Paddy Power, staking £200 at low'ish
odds of 1/2. This won us a profit of £100 (plus
our stake back) when that pair went, although the bet
very nearly went wrong because Sov was just 1% away
from replacing Heidi. Phew! Result:
£100 profit.
