Big Brother Betting - Bookmaker Refunds Bets as Housemate Escapes

A bookmaker is pledging to refund bets placed on this week's Big Brother eviction following the news that one of this year's housemates has escaped via the roof.

Self-proclaimed 'international playboy' Kenny left the house after stating 'his heart wasn’t at peace'. The 24 year-old boyfriend of former housemate Karly had been the 1/7 favourite to get the chop this Friday but his sudden departure has forced Channel 4 to cancel this week's eviction and bookies Paddy Power will instead refund all money taken on the eviction market.

Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for the bookmaker, said: "Kenny probably saved himself a lot of embarrassment by walking from the Big Brother house but it’s left a lot of our punters with lost bets. The fairest thing to do is to refund all money, and hope that Karly kicks him to the kerb!"

A walkout might seem like the easy option, but life is not expected to be too much easier for Kenneth on the outside. The bookie is quoting just 4/6 that girlfriend Karly will call it a day with her jet-setting beau. His flirting in the house will no doubt have got to her.

Meanwhile Freddie, aka Halfwit is still the 7/4 red-hot favourite to win the 2009 series of Big Brother, while Dubliner Noirin looks out of the running at 22/1. Marcus is the 15/8 red-hot favourite to get the boot next.
