Tonight, Lloyd and Rachel were in the bottom two and faced a sing off to stay. One of them had to be elimated.
I knew that IF it went to a deadlock (where all judges couldn’t decide) Rachel would lose on a public vote having been in the bottom two already, twice… That said Llyod’s voice was gone and he could barely sing…
He was odds on favourite to go and i bought in at just the right time – when he hit rock bottom odds…. i layed him to go at 1.27 and simon cowel had the deciding vote. He had the power to send lloyd home or level the judges votes at 2-2 and leave the decision in the public’s hands.
As i half suspected, he bottled it and took the safe option of letting it go to a public vote. I watch in delight as the odds started dancing and flip flopping – over €250,000 was bet on this market so a lot of people got burned on this one…
Thankfully i didn’t and i stuck €5 on that lay at 1.27, so i’m up €5 profit
It means i’ve made over €10 profit today and put a healthy distance between myself and Enda on day 1 of November. He’ll be FORCED to bet this month, unlike last month where he could put his feet up, safe in the knowledge i’d need to get very lucky to beat him.
