I think you've chosen the one bookie on there who has Danyl second as an example (because they have taken quite a few bets on him today).

Most bookies have him as third at best after Olly and Joe.

In reality (not taking money placed into the equation) bookies see him as 7th favourite.

Wasn't he favourite the other week and landed up in the bottom 2.

Not sure why people seem to treat bookies odds as some kind of oracle.

The fact remains that no winner of X-Factor has ever been in the bottom two.

Oh I do wish they dropped these silly imported odds that no one wants or can understand and get back to the proper odds system that has served us for years!

Why do they always have to ruin things that don't require fixing?

I put the decimilised odds up, as most people who aren't gamblers find them easier to read. But if you like to see the traditional ones..........
