Reality shows are superb trading markets

Strangely enough, Strictly is a bit gappy and weaker compared to other shows, despite viewing figures always being high

Perhaps this shows Strictly's demographic - it's predominately watched by women who are more interested in the dances and dresses, as opposed to Ola Jordan's ass and betting prices

Yeah they are great to trade. I always end up getting a bit addicted to them, checking them every hour or so to see if there has been any movement.

Been following the strictly market quite closely too and yes it has been very gappy and weak liquidity, though its also been a little crazy. Contestants prices shoot up and down with seemingly little explanation every week.

Im on Sophie Ellis Bextor for my last chance to pay for the xmas expenses, or else everybody is getting a satsuma and a lump of coal for presents!

Cant say im overly confident, Natalie deserves to win as she is different class to the others, but Sophie has been doing ok of late, and after Joeys exit im hopeful that anything could happen. If she manages to get a few 10's this week or next then she has to have a chance, especially as she will likely do her charlastan on finals night which she did really well with earlier in the show.

I think the best way to play these markets is if you fancy one to shorten to back them in the shops or with the firms and then lay off on betfair. The firms are often a little bit behind and quite a few arbs/better prices often appear due to a lack of liquidity on betfair.
