I have a big bet (for me) that Anothony will win @ 1.35 However... Casey has tightened from $4.50 to $2.70!
Anthony now $1.40 from $1.18.

It said in the newspaper someone put $10,000 on him.

im thinking anthony should be a certainty cause of the 'girlies' vote. However i think Casey is a darn good singer, even better than Anothony. Hmm im a bit weary of my bet now. Anyone take this on?

No, I wouldn't bet on something like that.

Anyway, I reckon he WILL probably win, but it might be close.

I have a theory about these things. Pretty girls just don't have a chance because young girls simply will not vote for them. However, 'average' looking girls like Casey do have a chance. I wasn't surprised at all to see her make the last two. From what I saw, she definitely outsang him on Sunday night too.

I was thinking about putting some money when it was $1.22. Now that it is up to $1.40 I'm having 2nd thoughts. Strange logic???

$1.40 is better value than $1.22 but that means that it won't be as clear cut as everyone thinks

Yeah im now thinking now it might be close...And one whole week to vote. Some people might be thinking he's so safe that they wont bother voting, like the late ricky lee.

Im still quite confident though.
ive been using my work phone to vote (they pay) and im even voting at home, (winnings should pay the phone bill). You all can do the same

Help Anthony WIN :wink:
DIAL 1902 55 55 61

After reading these polls, it's a definite no bet for me...

Notice the different questions. One said "Who SHOULD be the Australian Idol?" and Casey came out on top. The other one was "Who do you WANT to be the Australian Idol?" and Anthony came out on top. That's why it's tricky. If it just went on talent I think Casey would win, but we know it doesn't work that way and all those teenage girls votes may get Anthony over the line. I won't be betting on it though.

Australian idol has been unpreictable this year. Anthony and Casey making it to finals. Who would of thought.

Well on radio news guys hate Anthony but the age girls 12-15 will tend to vote for Anthony. kinda a tricky one. Ill vote for Casey actually.

However I wouldnt put my money on it.

never even watched this show. I hate it, I'd never bet on it.

There are better things to bet on.

Well, I watch a bit of it every now and then, but I'd never bet on it. I personally think shows like this are a farce. They are popularity contests, not talent contests.

Sadly i watch this show religiously and about five weeks ago i had a measley $9 on casey at $27 on betfair, she's the best singer (most touchdowns) and shes cute but fat. I think anthony will win so i'm gunna hedge my bet and make sure i'll profit. $180 on at 1.40 gives me about 8/1 for my $9 either way.
