Leading UK sports betting site, Sky Bet is offering
odds on the outright favourite to win this year's X Factor singing
competition.
After a powerful performance on Saturday night when she sang Fix
You by Coldplay, Janet Devlin remains a favourite to win the
X Factor and Sky Bet sports betting group is offering odds of 2/1
that she will take home the winner's title.
However, bettors may want to keep their eyes on Misha Bryan, who
saw her odds jump to 9/2, making her the fastest mover last week,
thanks to her rendition of
Rolling in the Deep by Adele.
The biggest shock this weekend was the departure of 16 year old
Amelia Lily, who had been second favourite to win the show and was
seen as a serious contender to Janet Devlin.
Many believe that if Lily was voted off, nobody's place is secure
in this season's X Factor.
According to Helen Jacob, speaking for Sky Bet bookie: "This
year's X Factor promises to be a very open betting event
with some very strong acts indeed. The judges are going to be
faced with an agonising decision every week and their decision is
often a controversial one. Sky Bet customers will love second
guessing the panel and having a flutter on which act they'll send
packing."
Bet on X Factor at Sky Bet
Sports betting group, Sky Bet has a number of
exciting X Factor markets, including an exclusive new one called
"Who will the judges save?"
Sky Bet X Factor Favourites in this market are as
follows:
Sami Brookes - 7/2
Johnny Robinson - 4/1
Nu Vibe - 4/1
Rhythmix - 9/2
Kitty Brucknell - 9/2
Frankie Cocozza - 11/2
Sophie Habibis - 12/1
Marcus Collins - 12/1
Last weekend, mentors had to send one of their acts
home, which led to a particularly painful elimination process.
With just twelve acts left, it seems that each elimination will
get harder and harder and fans are keeping a sharp eye on their
favourites to ensure that they don't get voted off.
Odds on the next X Factor act to
be eliminated:
Nu Vibe - 1/2
Rhythmix - 10/1
Johnny Robinson - 10/1
Kitty Brucknell - 10/1
Sami Brookes - 11/1
Sophie Habibis - 16/1
Marcus Collins - 16/1
Frankie Cocozza - 22/1
