MATT CARDLE AND REBECCA FERGUSON NOW CO-FAVOURITES TO WIN X-FACTOR

Rebecca Ferguson's price has been trending downwards all week long and she has finally caught up to betting favourite Matt Cardle with Paddy Power pricing both contenders at a 3/1 price to win this year's edition of the show. 
Gamu Nhengu is becoming more and more of a media sideshow as speculation has it that she may return to the show as a wildcard. Should Gamu come back to X Factor as a wildcard, Paddy Power is pricing her as the clear second favourite to win the show and they've priced her at 4/1 with a run. That means that if you lock in a bet on Gamu right now, and she doesn't come back as a wildcard, Paddy will refund your bet. Simples. 
1 Direction continue to be strongly-priced and you can back them at a 9/2 listing- confirming that they are a plausible winner but it will be based on performances and not hype should they pull off the win. 
Aiden Grimshaw and Cher Lloyd are now sharing an 8/1 price with Lloyd retreating over the past week amidst media speculation that this all may be a bit too much too soon. You reckon that her price will drop quickly if she does produce a stand-out performance this week. 
John Adeleye is listed at 18/1 while Belle Amie sits at 20/1. FYD trades at 33/1 alongside Katie Waissel.
At one point, Katie Waissel was the betting favourite for first X Factor elimination but now FYD has taken the favourites position- rewarding with a solid 4/1 price should they be eliminated. Katie Waissel and John Adeleye are both trading at 9/2 for the elimination. 
Cheryl Cole is a slight favourite to win the show as winning judge and Paddy prices her at 13/8 while Dannii Minogue is just a step behind at 7/4. Simon Cowell sits at 9/4 while Louis Walsh is a lengthy 10/1 shot.
