X Factor Betting - John and Edward Grimes on Their Way to the Top?

Bookies have further slashed the odds on John and Edward Grimes winning this year's X Factor from 8/1 to 6/1 following the optimistic news that Irish fans will finally be able to cast their votes at the weekend.

Irish phone company Swiftcall Commercial have claimed to have found a way to bypass xx preventing Irish people or anyone outside the UK from voting.

Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for the bookmaker said: "If it is true and the Irish votes through Swiftcall count it will have a huge impact on the result. With all the support the lads are receiving from home there’s an excellent chance they could cause a massive upset and become this year’s X Factor winners!"

The news has not only given an extra boost to the twins but has also seen a surge in the number of bets being placed with Paddy Power on Jedward to win.
