X FACTOR BETTING ODDS SHOW MATT CARDLE WELL AHEAD OF CHER LLOYD

We've just seen the field clipped down to the final 12 for 2010 X Factor and, while there aren't any massive fluctuations at the top there is still plenty of movement and that gives you a few clues as to just how things are expected to shape up. 
Matt Cardle holds onto his spot as the outright favourite with his 5/2 price holding up from yesterday. Rebecca Ferguson is priced at 7/2 for the victory and, since her price is trending downwards, you have to give her some respect as a serious contender. 
1 Direction/New Direction are trading at 9/2 and that places them ahead of Cher Lloyd- who holds up at 5/1, just down just a shade from the 11/2 price she was listed at by Paddy Power last week. 
Aiden Grimshaw is priced at 8/1 and Belle Amie has dropped down to a 12/1 price tag. Katie Waissel continues to hold up around th1 4/1 mark while Nicolo Festa is trading at a 16/1 price alongside John Adeleye and former betting favourite Mary Byrne. 
Storm Lee is trading at 20/1 while F.Y.D can be backed at a 25/1 price. 
On Betfair, the winning mentor is favoured to be Cheryl Cole and she can be backed at 2.52 while Dannii Minogue is priced at 3.15. Simon Cowell can be backed at 4.2 and Louis Walsh looks nearly out of it at 13.5. 
William Hill prices a live studio finalist to quit of his/her own accord at a 5/1 price and the X Factor 2010 Winner is odds-on at 1/4 to have the Christmas #1 single.
