I know a few people here like to dabble in Reality TV, me included
Attraction are very short - currently 1.29
BGT has 2 of the biggest Reality TV upsets I've ever seen.
Susan Boyle 2009 + Ronan Parke 2011 were both trading at incredibly short prices before being turned over. Even last year, Jonathan & Charlotte were heavy odds on before the final started, only to be mugged by a 17 year-old and her dog
Anyone fancy laying Attraction?
Britain's Got Talent 2013
I am a player in Reality markets (in fact 70% of my winnings come from them) with some notable 5 figure sums.
The Final (on Sat) is a straightforward public vote, so the judges can't do a thing.
I backed Attraction mostly at 6/4 and 11/8 and the polling data so far indicates a clear win (3 times the number of votes v the nearest act). Le Tiss, I know they are very short but Pudsey was always beating Jonathon/Charlotte in the finals week and Susans bad publicity leading up to the final did for her chances. I can't see Attraction getting beaten when they traded at 1.01 to win their semi final (a real tear jerker). I suspect they will do a skit on Moses or some other biblical event for the final and its odds on that they will get the pimp spot on the night. There isn't a clear British "other act" that the public can support so I don't think the fact that they are from Budapest, perhaps the most beautiful city in Europe (been there 7 times) will affect the result.
A far better bet and more interesting is the second place (w/o Attraction) where Jack has to be great value.

First our jobs and now our talent contests. We can't let eastern Europe know about our pies and fish chips.
