Terrible twins cut to 12-1 for X Factor glory
The odds on Irish twins John and Edward winning The X Factor have been cut to 12-1 by Betfair customers, who are starting to believe that the most unlikely of reality show triumphs in on the cards.
Before Saturday’s show the duo’s price to win was at 25-1, yet after another vote of confidence from an apparently adoring public, their price has dramatically fallen.
Betfair Spokesman Ari Last said: "The John and Edward locomotive appears to be gathering pace and when the Betfair punters get behind you, you know you’re doing something right.
"Our customers showed their predictive abilities again this weekend when our favourite to be eliminated, Rachel Adedeji, was ultimately given the boot, so the slashing of John and Edward’s odds to win is significant indeed."

Fisher’s odds slashed for Race to Dubai
Sky Bet have slashed the odds of Ross Fisher to 4/1 (from 25/1) in their Race to Dubai betting after the Englishman won the World Match Play Championship, lifting him to fourth in the standings. Fisher is less than 300,000 euros behind current leader, Lee Westwood, who has amassed 2,305,315 euros. Sky Bet have eased Westwood’s odds to 2/1 (from 13/8).
Ian Poulter has also been cut to 25/1 (from 100/1) after his victory in the Singapore Open saw him move up to 10th in the standings.
Martin Kaymer is second in the rankings and is an 11/4 chance, with Rory McIlroy next in the betting at 4/1. Paul Casey, who struggled on his comeback from injury last week, is out to 16/1.
Sky Bet’s golf betting expert, Andy Thorp, said: "Top spot in the Race to Dubai is still up for grabs and with so much cash available, anyone in the top 10 could still realistically snatch the top prize, although the likes of Poulter and Garcia are going to need to win and rely on others not doing too well."
