What site(s) will offer a market for this? Has this been widely wagered on in the past? I'd consider following this like AI, but only if there is some non-2+2 money being thrown around.

it definitely has been offered for wagering. we will have to check with some of our UK friends (where the version of this show is HUGE), but i think they wager on their version as well.

Its starts in July. BetCris Pinnacle InterTops BoDog Bowmans and the greek will probably all have lines but all will have really low max bets

Intrade needs emails markets@intrade.com
WSEX needs emails but probably wont offer a market no matter how many emails they get.

very good show to bet on if you can find a place to bet.

What has been your return in the past? We generally find healthy 50-200% returns (or possibly more) with AI - what's it like for this show? Just trying to gauge whether it is worth my effort or not to seriously follow the show. Also, I wonder how much square money is in play.

My BB ROI is about 3x that of my AI ROI but I wager about 1k/year in BB compared to 10K in AI

UK BB starts tonight. There is a lot of betting going on. Especially if you wager on eliminations. The odds are not that good but if you manage to take very early lines once the housemates are up for eviction, it should be a lock. Last year I had 12 out of 12 correct wagers on eliminations with the highest odds although being 2.30 (+330). You can make good money though. Usually the lines for eliminations open at around -400 to -500 and usually end up at around -1500
Except betfair, willhill, ladbrokes have lines with as well with very high limits
