2010 X FACTOR LATEST BETTING ODDS FOR MATT CARDLE AND CHER LLOYD

There has been a slight reshuffling of the odds for the 2010 edition of X Factor but there aren't a huge amount of dramatic surprises aside from the fact that Cher Lloyd's price has dropped from 11/2 to 9/2 and that places her neck and neck alongside Gamu Nhengu and Rebecca Ferguson. 
Matt Cardle's odds to win 2010 X Factor have also dropped slightly to a 5/2 margin and that's down from the 3/1 he was trading at for most of the week. 
1 Direction can be backed at 11/2 and it's clear that they are definitely the group to beat at this point in time. Aiden Grimshaw is the only other genuinely competitive contestant with a 7/1 price being more or less unchanged from earlier in the week. 
Katie Waissel is listed at 14/1 while former favourite Mary Byrne trades at 16/1 alongside Belle Amie and Nicolo Festa. 
There are still some specials markets available on the show this year with Paddy Power and they've listed a 1/5 price on the X Factor winner to have the 2010 Christmas #1 single according to BBC Radio. 
You can also lock in a 9/4 price on a live studio finalist to quit of their own accord and not return. That still seems plausible at this pint. Should one of the final twelve be accused of cheating and quit the show, you've got a 4/1 payout. 
If Cheryl slaps Simon in the face during a live televised show, then you're only getting payed out at an 8/1 price. Simon Cowell is 10/1 to cry during any live performance.
