On Saturday, the X Factor final takes place. As things stand, it’s a three horse race to see who can win X Factor, hastily record a bland single and then disappear within one year.

That means that you don’t have much time left to bet on the potential X Factor winner – and that’s why we’re here. Each day between now and the end of the week, we’ll be profiling the betting odds of one of the X Factor finalists. That starts right now, where we’ll be looking at the chances of sad, impoverished binman Andy Abraham.

So – without any further ado – here are the Andy Abraham X Factor final betting odds, with help from SportingOdds.com…

Andy Abraham – Andy came to X Factor with a look of desperation in
his eyes. He was 41 years old, and a binman. Avoiding the obvious
thought of how Andy’s constant "poor binman me" bleating must have made
other binmen feel, it seemed to be a strategy that worked for him. He
revelled in the role of the underdog, and has loved to brazenly play
with the audience’s emotions throughout X Factor.

He’s done the obvious ("I don’t wanna be a binman any more!"), he’s
done the sneaky (singing I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston – he
literally has nothing. He’s a binman!) and he’s done the bewildering
(making his son wear a T-Shirt with "Daddy" written on it and then
dragging him onstage so he can sing Everything I Do I Do It For You
while gazing at him).

However, Andy has made a fair few balls-ups of late. He missed the
start of a song – probably while thinking about how empty his binman
belly was – and he’s chosen some really awful Phil Collins songs to
sing. Now Andy’s in the unenviable role of underdog again. Can he do
enough to win X Factor? Current X Factor winning odds – 8/1

Over the next few days we’ll be looking at the betting odds of
Shayne Ward and Journey South, the other two X Factor finalists. But
until then,
