X Factor Betting: 2010 Series Kicks Off On Saturday

The children are not yet back at school, the sun tan lotion has barely found its way back into the cupboard and the Autumn TV schedules are primed for action and online bookmakersPaddy Power are, as ever hot on the reality TV trail with their X Factor Betting. The 2010 series kicks off on Saturday and whilst viewers have yet to pick through weeks of excruciating auditions before the fianal contestants are known, there are a series of Specials markets to put a punt on already.

Top of the Specials list is the opportunity to bet on the eventual winner reaching number 1 on BBC Radio 1 at Christmas at odds of 1/5. Whilst for many years this was practically a certainty, a backlash of feeling that other records were not being given a chance at Christmas led to a Facebook campaign two years ago which suceeded in relegating Simon Cowell's protege to second place!

Interestingly at 4/1, is the prospect of a competitor leaving the finals of his/her own accord. These odds seem very short given the intense competition that any contestant has to endure to get to the final and the prospect of walking away from a career dream seems very unlikely. Ill health has dogged some participants in past years but no-one has walked voluntarily, even if their sound does not conform to the X factor norm, the rewards of appearing in this showcase are far too high.

Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh will again be anchoring the series in their roles as both mentors and judges and there is sure to be even more interest than usual surrounding Ms Cole after her recent debacle with malaria, but it still seems unlikely that she will slap Simon live on air and surely is far too fragile to embark on a cat fight with Dannii !

This is the start of a flurry of betting opportunities in the novelty market this Autumn, the X factor books will increase as the weeks pass and then Strictly Come Dancing and Im a Celebrity will multiply the depth and breadth of choices.
