Telly bets

I've had a couple of nice wins betting on the endless round of witless talent(less) / celebrity TV programmes and I thought I'd get in quick as odds for the Jungle came out. Sid Owen seems to match the criteria of most previous winners and I'm glad to see that the 4-1 I got has now gone. I think a posh, eccentric woman tends to do well also, and given the choice of Jilly Goolden and Carol Thatcher I plumped for the former each way at 16-1.
In terms of the other contests, my 3-1 on Shayne for the Xfactor is looking a reasonable investment so far. I felt I had to have a bet on Come Dancing after the easy money on Jill Halfpenny last year, but didn't get Sean Boyce's tip this year if there was one, and went blindly for Patsy Palmer. My hopes rest on dancing ability being totally ignored, a sort of Eliza Dolittle story, or some public connection with Ricky being in the Jungle. I need to research it a bit more next time.
