OK, just a small lay for me.

Risk 3.5pts to win 10pts Lay Alesha @ 1.35

Did anyone watch this?

Did Alesha or Matt cry at all?

Skybet still have it as pending!

Still pending Nap, although I had a text from my brother saying that his wife thought she did cry - although I didn't get clarification on real tear evidence...

Anyhoo, Alesha won and as I am quids in, here is a self indulgent moment from a few weeks ago....

I disagree about the comments about her dancing in the N.E.R.D.. I thought she moved that booty quite sweetly.. Of all the contestants she looks the one with the most natural ability..

Ok a bit of a stab in the dark at this stage, but I can only see her price falling. Apparently Alesha and her partner are doing the 'Rhumba' to start with. Apparaently a very difficult first dance, but one - if they nail it - could put them into a good early position..

Alesha Dixon to win Strictly Come Dancing - 4 pt stake @ 10/1 (Partybets)

Well done Trick!

Just watched the final on youtube and there's no real evidence of any tears. She possibly did cry, but you see so little of her just after the result is announced as she's mobbed by all the other dancers. When they get round to presenting her with the trophy, she's constantly wiping her eyes, but there's no tears streaming down her face.

I think it's a winner, but we'll have to wait to see what skybet say!

Here's hoping !!

She never did strike me as the emotional type, so it doesnt surprise me..

Beanie · #97 (**permalink**) 23-12-2007, 10:31

Great touch on the outrights trick - here's hoping the tears one was a winner too(never saw it either so can't help.)

**trickrick** · #98 (**permalink**) 23-12-2007, 14:30

Hmmm.Settled as a loser, so tears were apparent...

..Might be worth contending this with Skybet cos there wasnt any tears as I saw it..

Yes, rather disappointing!

Way ahead of you! Already fired off an e-mail to them contending the result and asking them to explain at what point anyone shed any tears! Least I'm hoping for is my stake returned (or a free bet) as it's an ambiguous result!

You should do the same Trick!
