Safe investment??

X factor's live shows have just begun and with that so has betfair's special bet section for it.
Basically with each and every week going by, and with a contestant (or two) getting eliminated each week. The odds of each contestant to win the show will go down accordingly.
So basically this would be a longish "investment" as you wouldn't be able to see your money until around Christmas time.
I've chosen two acts who i think i may back tomorrow. Them being "One direction" and "Mary Byrne".
One directions odds are currently @ 6.2 and Mary's @ 14. I'm tempted to put £100 on each as i really can't see either act getting eliminated at least for another 5/6 weeks. And by this time their odd's would have gone down quite a significant way.
Just something to throw into the equation!

Haven't traded much the past few day's, but i'm £20 up since i last posted on here.

Ciao

  1. I hope you managed to get on the 14 for Mary in the end KO'D, she knocked 'em dead and her price has crusied in to 9.6.

    Personally I think One Direction are shocking and if they get any lower I'm gonna lay them for all I'm worth!!

  2. Just managed to get on Mets! I'm going to stay on her (as wrong as that sounds) for a good few weeks can't see her price going any way near 14's again. Hopefully some shocking story doesn't come out about her molesting young boys or something mad!
    In the end i haven't back One direction yet still around 6's, i'm no fan but i can see girls voting for them so i think they will at least come into around 4.5/5's. But will wait till next week!

  3. Good man! This nation loves an underdog and this year's competition seems to be full of 'em!

    You're right, a bad story could ruin everything and I noticed the knives are already out for that falsetto chappy (Matt?) for dumping his bird before boot camp lol !

    Last year Jedward came in from 80+ to 6s or 7s after the public got behind them - astonishing! =:-O
