***LATEST X FACTOR BETTING ODDS! CLICK HERE***
Just two more days until X Factor is back on your TV screens! That’s two more days before…
We get to watch a bunch of people that we don’t care about singing songs that we don’t like!
We get to watch Kate Thornton‘s eyes very obviously move around as she reads words from the autocue!
We get to watch Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh continue their carefully choreographed animosity!
Ah, X Factor is great, isn’t it? Well, so long as we can bet on it, anyway. Today we’re going to be looking at the latest winning manager betting odds, with the usual assistance from Betfair.com…
Simon Cowell – You can understand why Simon Cowell got so hissy when he found out that he was in charge of the groups this year – none of them are even the slightest bit talented. He’s taken a set of groups to the finals that are just exceptionally bland. He already lost Addictiv Ladies in the first show of the series, and he’ll have to do some Herculean bigging-up to stop any more from being eliminated in the next few weeks. His best chance of victory stands with Journey South, and they’re the creepiest couple of boyband brothers you could ever wish to meet. Cowell should just pack up and go home now – he won’t win. Current odds – 13/3
Louis Walsh – And Louis can wipe the smile off his big fat face, too. Although he did the honourable thing by getting rid of the pity votes (the boy with the speech impediment, the crying blond boy, the kid with cerebral palsy) before the live finals, he’s now left with a very boring set of 16-24 year-old contestants indeed. The most distinctive one is Chenai – the one who cries all the time – and she’ll probably be gone in a fortnight. Shayne Ward is Walsh’s best chance for success, and he’s yet to impress. Current odds – 13/7
Sharon Osbourne – Sharon Osbourne is now the favourite manager to win X Factor this, and it’s all thanks to the singing binman. Andy Abraham – even though we maintain he looks a little prawny – is the official underdog of the competition. By day Andy empties bins into a lorry, but by night he sings awful Whitney Houston songs like a flipping angel. And if he fails, Maria Lawson will be there to mop up his votes. It’s early days yet, but it looks like Sharon Osbourne has this year’s X Factor sewn up. Current odds – 9/10
Tomorrow we’ll look at the odds for Saturday’s X Factor elimination, but if you want to find out how the odds stand at any moment in time, head over to the UK TV Special Bets section of Betfair.com. You get free stuff when you join up, look…

Please let Nicholas sing the right types of song that are suited for his voice and range. I think songs like’ I Believe I can Fly’ by R. Kelly and ‘Back to One’ by Brian Knight would set the tone for him to win X-Factor.
