Millions Riding On Reality TV
William Hill have been overjoyed by the early interest in the betting for The X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing with just over twice the amount wagered compared to the same time last year.
Early indications are that The X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing will turnover over in-excess of £1 Million each.
"Reality TV betting is becoming a very important market for us, with 1000's of bets accepted on a weekly basis. When I'm A Celebrity starts we expect to turnover £300,000 a week!" said William Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.
