Bedlam Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Anyone know if there are any bookies taking bets yet? I've heared that Shaun Williamson is taking part, & I know that he's an excellent singer. I've never heared of half the contestants, but Williamson is bound to get to the later stages, so hopfully there will be trading opportunities. Full line up: Angelica Ball, Colin Murray, Fred Mcauley, Linda Robson, Mel Giedroyc, Miranda Hart, Ray Stubbs, Rowland Rivron, Shaun Williamson, Tara Palmer-Thompkinson, Tricia Penrose, Zoe' Salmon. Actually, wasn't Tricia Penrose in Hartbeat? if it's the one I'm thinking of, she can sing too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danj2202 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Re: Celebrity Fame Academy ladbrokes have prices too believe williamson was 7/2 when i looked yesterday - may have changed though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedlam Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 Re: Celebrity Fame Academy :ok Nice one Dan, there could be some mileage in that price, he's likely to go shorter than that later, so I'll be able to lay him off with Betfair (although they have no odds up yet).

stereoman Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Re: Celebrity Fame Academy Nah, Shaun's 5/2 at Laddies. I must be the only one who can't see Shaun's appeal. He may be a good singer but it doesn't mean he's going to get votes. If he walks this from start-to-finish, well done to him by any means but I just can't picture it happening.

Bedlam Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 Re: Celebrity Fame Academy Thanks Sterioman, 5/2 is too short for trading purposes. I think he's a worthy favourite though, an excellent singer (always a good quality in a singing contest!), a very popular actor, seems a nice bloke,he has humility, recently appeared in 'Extras' also he was in Eastenders, so he'll get the popularlist vote for sure! Hope he does his Barry White, that's hilarious! Think I'll use Tricia for trading though, very good singer & in a popular soap. She'll go well & should shorten in price.

stereoman Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Re: Celebrity Fame Academy Odds on first elimination from Bet365. I think the first one's tonight but there's really nothing to go on. I think Tim, Fred or tara could be going though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereoman Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Re: Celebrity Fame Academy Updated outright prices from William Hill. Would you believe every other book have gone skinnier for Shaun to win? I still remain unconvinced that Shaun will walk it but hey, I'm stubborn and I have my own agenda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedlam Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 Re: Celebrity Fame Academy Think I'll use Tricia for trading though' date=' very good singer & in a popular soap. She'll go well & should shorten in price.[/quote'] I took the 7/1 about Tricia Penrose & already she's in to 3.8 on betfair. I'll leave her in for 2 or 3 rounds & then trade. I can see a few dark horses there who may well improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedlam Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 Re: Celebrity Fame Academy Ive taken Colin Murray @ 8.4 on betfair, he's very popular on radio 1, where reigning champion Edith Bowman is running a 'vote for colin' campaign to return the compliment for him doing similar when she won it. Murray is also on 5 live Saturdays & on Channel 5 Fooball. He'll also get a big vote from his native Northern Ireland. He did a pretty good job with The Undertones classic 'Teenage Kicks' on the first night & he'll go a long way in the competition. Can't lose at that price!

stereoman Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Re: Celebrity Fame Academy You wouldn't think so but he'll be sharing the Norn Iron vote alongside Zoe Salmon. Odds from Stan James in regards tonight's elimination: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedlam Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 Re: Celebrity Fame Academy Judging by their performances on Saturday it'll be Ray or Miranda booted off tonight. Miranda's only hope is to 'do an Ade Edmonson' & make it funny. Although Roland died on his arse when he tried that on Saturday! Ray can't do singing or funny! so he looks value @ 7/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedlam Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 Re: Celebrity Fame Academy Found odds of 13/2 with bet365 about Ray being evicted tonight. Tried to put a bet on at 7:05 PM only to find they stopped taking bets at 7:00. Hope he doesn't get kicked off now!:sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereoman Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Re: Celebrity Fame Academy Ray's 8/1 at Paddy's in-running right now. Big mover is Fred MacAulay (11/4 from 7/1!) over at Stan James in-running! :eek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedlam Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 Re: Celebrity Fame Academy Well Ray's awful rendition of The Jam classic 'Going Underground' deserved a stoning! & he can't have been far off the bottom 3 last night! There doesn't seem to be much value around for tonight's eviction, Fred, Ray & Angelica are all terrible singers, with Linda not far behind. They are all likely to be leaving sooner rather than later. Although the Scottish vote will probably keep Fred in for a few more rounds. Colin was very poor last night, I must be careful not to leave my investment too long before I trade, cos I can't see him winning it! The dark horse is Tim, who I've had a small bet on @ 16.0 The most improved singer so far IMO is Zoe', which hopefully will keep her in for a while!!
