I'm pretty sure it's the other way round. Put ÂĢ4 on, get ÂĢ5 back (ÂĢ1 profit).

Though I'm not a betting man, so I might be wrong. I'm probably wrong.

No, TomBennet is quite right, unfortunately. Smiler

I pretty sure if you put that bet on you win ÂĢ4 and your ÂĢ1 back

It's based on ppl going in to put bets on, which means it doesn't have to be right, but in the past it usually has, although tonight is a different kettle of fish as there are so many up and it's not as clear cut as normally.

Got cha. So, the more people that put bets on Bea, the more likely she is to be evicted (in the bookies' eyes)?

I really can't imagine that many Big brother fans are gamblers. Surely they have to account for less than 5% of viewers.
