    "It has nothing to do with the other participants that is on the next elimination page, it simply means that if any other selection is bought in at a later stage other than the selections on the next elimination page.


    Apologies for the confusion."

    Even if it was what you thought it was they probably would have voided the bet.

    why?

    sure look at the odds at the moment, Tulisa has one act remaining, for who to be the winning judge is 7/1, but for littlemix(her act) to win is 6/1. As you can see there is a difference, but thats pp choice.

    With two opposing markets from one bookie and a clear arbitrage opportunity the bookie can claim it was a mistake and void the bet. I'm not sure but they are not going to take a bath on it either. They may just pay out so as not to get negative publicity if the payout is small.

    It's happened before with the horse Dunguib, whereby one could back the horse to win or back eveyrthing else to win, and you were guarateed to either break even or win 116.
