Discounting Pete

We said on Friday that it was probably your last chance to back Pete at the bookies because his odds would go to 1/10 shortly. However, there's still a way you can cash-in on BB7, by betting on the 'Outright Winner without Pete' market.

This is another way of saying 'Who'll be the top person, discounting Pete?' or 'Who's likely to come second if Pete comes 1st?' Basically, you simply ignore Pete when you are betting, because with this particular market what happens to the Tourette's sufferer is irrelevant.

This is fantastic, as just when things were starting to look predictable and the betting was becoming pointless (unless you stake £££thousands), it opens things up and makes a bet worthwhile again.

Here are today's odds (Tuesday the 1st of August):

Glyn - 4/7
Richard - 100/30
Aisleyne - 6/1
Mikey - 18/1
Imogen - 20/1
Any other - 16/1

So, a £30 bet on Richard at those odds (£100 back for every £30 staked) would make you, as the odds indicate, a £100 profit plus your stake back. That surely has to be a reasonably good bet, mainly because Glyn could start to lose favour as Pete and Rich get closer?

A £25 bet on Aisleyne would make you £150; the same amount on Mikey would make you £450, and on Imogen, £500. And remember, they only need to come second (or win) for you to claim this profit

However, Glyn is currently the second favourite to Win, so if you think he's likely to come second to Pete, a bet on him would be a shrewd move.

A £45 stake on the Welshman would return £70, a £60 bet would return you just under £95, and a £100 stake would return nearly £160. Of course, you can stake as much as you like, and if you were to stake a few hundred 'quid, then you'd stand to make a profit of £180 if Glyn comes second.

So, if you'd like to cash-in and have a bit of fun by betting on the outcome of Big Brother 7, why not click here to visit the BlueSquare website and sign-up for an account?

New customers will also get a Free £25 Bet added to their account once they've placed their first bet (valued at £25 or over) and it really is quick and easy to sign-up and place a bet with BlueSquare.

Just remember to look for the 'Outright Winner without Pete' market, which you can get-to from a flip down menu in the TV Specials section.
