At the moment I am £4.5k green on him, could turn out to be trade of the year! Been looking to trade out some of that. Never expected him to get to single figures.

I'm tempted to lay off a fair chuck of my profit on Wagner now, I think it's getting to the point where Simon will want him out, will leave more profit on him overall but if I hear Cowell praising him or Wagner singing 1st or 2nd then to me that tells me that Simon has decided it's time for him to go.

An incredible move on Matt Cardle tonight

Started the show at 2.92, he's now trading at 1.96

And I can't believe Wagner's down to 10.0 from 500.0!

It makes you wonder what people's thought processes are when they back and lay! Given that only the X Factor producers know what percentage of the votes each contestant gets, there isn't much to go on, especially with people who haven't appeared in the bottom two. Take Matt for example. OK, he's a good looking bloke and he's got a great singing voice. But who's to say how that will translate into votes?

BTW, I'm surprised Mary has yet to make an appearance in the bottom two. She's a good singer, but she's not young and sexy, and unlike Wagner, she doesn't have the Jedward factor. Perhaps people see a vote for her as a vote against the Simon Cowell manufactured pop machine...

Wagner's future in the X Factor is in question over allegations surrounding what the Daily Mail calls 'the mind bending drug' - cannabis...

I really don't see the big deal, especially as he's allegedly buying the stuff, not selling it!

BTW, Wagner seems remarkably fit for someone allegedly claiming incapacity benefit due to a frozen shoulder: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sh ... probe.html

As predicted Wagner sings first and it's bye bye Wagner, can't believe he went to under 10 after yesterdays show pure madness.
Trading on reality shows really is like printing money.

After the show, I was kicking myself for not backing Mary after she and Wagner were nominated!

There was no way Wagner would have got 2 votes! Cheryl and Danni clearly don't like him, and he's allegedly been badmouthing Louis. Also, the fact that Simon complimented Wagner yesterday suggested that Simon also had had enough of him! Perhaps he doesn't like the thought of someone allegedly claiming incapacity benefit dancing on the show...

I had £100 matched at 1.11 for Wagner to go when the bottom 2 were announced

Not exactly a trade, but it was an easy £11 nonetheless

I'm interested to see Matt Cardle has steamed into 1.72 this morning

Bearing in mind the phone votes from last night are being carried over, does this mean people in the know realise he's clearly in the lead?

Some leaks on Twitter suggest One Direction have an 8% lead, so perhaps the value is to lay him?

Hi Folks

There are a lot of Votes go to the Mentors as well as the Acts.

Cheryl Cole had 2 Acts last night

Where will all the Votes for Cher go now ?

May be a big surprise in store with Rebecca picking up those votes

I've heard Konnie on ITV2 revealing the series votes

Matt Cardle won every week bar one

I'll be def trading this type of event in the future...
Did anyone trade this this evening? I'm not sure if perhaps there were many joe Public betting, but it seemed fairly easy to trade?
Anyone else find this??
