***LATEST X FACTOR BETTING ODDS! CLICK HERE***
Well, would you believe it? We only went and correctly predicted that Addictiv Ladies would be eliminated from X Factor first. Clearly we know what we’re talking about when it comes to reading betting odds for jumped-up talent shows.
Now that we’ve seen all the contestants honk and grunt their way through a bunch of obviously bland songs on a live X Factor show, we can start looking towards the end of the series and ask "Who’ll win?"
Here, then, are the X Factor betting odds for each contestant to win – with help from Betfair.com…
Chico Slimari – Nutty Goat Boy continues to peddle his trademark
‘jumping around showing off his belly’ shtick, and it’s clear that it’s
deeply unpopular with the public. He was saved from elimination by
Louis Walsh on Saturday, and unless he learns to tone down his
ridiculously exuberant act, he might not be so lucky next week. Current
odds – 59/1
The Conway Sisters – How this bunch of warbling fools even got to
this stage is beyond us: they’re not pretty or interesting or very
talented. Their rendition of S.O.S on Saturday was so bland that it
hardly existed, and they were lucky not to be eliminated. They’ve got
no chance of winning, basically. Current odds – 59/1
Chenai Zinuku – Cry-machine Chenai hasn’t stopped bleating on about
how hard she’s worked to get on X Factor, but she almost blew her
chances on Saturday by singing a rubbish song. She’s the weakest member
of the 24 and Under group, and she doesn’t seem too popular with the
betting public. Current odds – 35/1
Phillip McGee – Belfast crooner Phillip didn’t do a bad job on
Saturday, but only a fool would go so far as to call him good. He
suffered from a bad choice of song apparently, which made him sound
like an old man, and then practically shat himself when the judges
commented on him. If he gains some confidence, he has a slim chance of
winning, but not otherwise. Current odds – 23/1
Brenda Edwards – There’s something about Brenda that we’re not too
keen on. Perhaps it’s the mental look in her eyes all the time, or
perhaps it’s because she can flick between manic laughter and tears in
a nanosecond. But her performance on Saturday was passable, and she’ll
remain in the competition for a few weeks to come yet. Current odds –
21/1
4Tune – These boys are easy to hate, from their anodyne singing to
their skintight knitwear to their awful awful name. But they’re
obviously the teenage girls’ target for admiration and, seeing as how
they’ll be the people that actually buy the winner’s records, they
stand a half-decent chance of getting quite far in the series. Current
odds – 19/1
Nicolas Dorsett – The best thing about Nicolas is his fat cousin
who, when finding out that Nicolas had passed the first audition, kept
firing an imaginary gun into the air. As far as his singing goes, well,
we’ve already got one Craig David. And that’s one too many. But his
odds are favourable for the time being. Current odds – 33/2
Journey South – Journey South were praised by everyone on Saturday,
and for the life of us we can’t understand why. They’re two creepy
brothers for a start, and their act is a bit too working man’s club for our liking. And
their name is a blatant fellatio joke. And they’re brothers. Eurgh.
They’re Simon‘s strongest chance, though. Current odds – 33/4
Maria Lawson – Maria has a giant set of lungs on her, and she’s
already being talked about as a possible X Factor winner. Aside from
that, she’s as dull as bag of dust. Current odds – 5/1
Shayne Ward – On paper, Shayne has it all. He’s a pretty boy, he’s a
decent enough singer and, thanks to his rapey Dad, he’s also got a
tortured personal life that’ll keep him in the papers. Usually, that’d
be enough to win something like X Factor, but he has some seemingly
invincible competition this year… Current odds – 25/8
Andy Abraham – Andy is the singing bin man, and he’s already tugged
at the heart-strings of the nation. He’s the heroic underdog with the
voice of an angel, you see, as proved by his rendition of The Greatest
Love Of All on Saturday that made all kinds of idiots cry into their
sleeves, sobbing "They are! Children really are the future!" We kind of
think he’s not actually that hot, and he also looks a bit like a prawn. But who
are we to argue with betting odds? Current odds – 12/5
