Bets
On
Bigg
Boss
According
to
TOI
reports,
some
bookies
claim
the
bet
of
around
Rs
200-250
Crores
have
been
made
on
the
show
around
Delhi.
Others
also
claim
that
Rs
1,000
Crores
have
been
made
in
NCR
(nearby
areas).
Bigg
Boss
Has
Replaced
Cricket
In
The
Betting
World!
A
bookie
from
Delhi
was
quoted
by
TOI
as
saying,
"This
is
not
an
organized
sector
so
it
is
impossible
to
estimate
that
figure.
However,
the
number
is
not
as
high
as
what
it
would
be
for
IPL
or
any
cricket
game.
That
said,
it
is
substantially
higher
than
everything
else.
I
have
had
bets
worth
twice
as
much
as
last
year
for
this
show."
People
Bet
On
Show’s
Winner
Months
In
Advance!
The
report
suggests
that
some
people
bet
on
the
show's
winner
months
in
advance.
But
these
bets
become
useless
as
and
when
the
contestants
get
eliminated
from
the
show.
It
is
also
said
that
some
of
them
bet
on
who
might
get
eliminated
from
the
show.
Priyank
Sharma’s
Re-entry
Bets
A
bookie
told
the
leading
daily,
"The
week
when
there
was
speculation
about
Priyank
Sharma's
re-entry
on
the
show
was
a
busy
one
with
a
lot
of
people
betting
on
it."
Gamblers
Don’t
Even
Watch
The
Show,
But
Bet
On
It!
It
is
also
said
that
many
of
them
(gamblers),
who
don't
even
watch
the
show
bet
on
the
show,
just
because
it
is
popular.
According
to
bookies,
30%
of
all
the
bets
from
Delhi
were
against
Shilpa
Shinde
as
they
feel
that
she
might
win
the
show,
while
Puneesh
is
the
least
favoured
among
the
four
finalists.
Shilpa
Shinde
Leads
In
BETS
Followed
By
Hina
Khan
A
Noida-based
bookie
said,
"Almost
one-third
of
all
bets
are
on
Shilpa
Shinde
to
win.
She
is
the
clear
favourite,
followed
by
Hina
Khan."
Rumours
Were
Rife
That
Bookies
Do
Not
Want
Shilpa
To
Win!
It
has
to
be
recalled
that
there
were
rumours
that
the
bookies
do
not
win
the
favourite
Shilpa
Shinde
to
win,
and
hence
the
makers
favour
Vikas
Gupta
or
Hina
Khan
to
win
the
show!
Bookie
Rubbish
The
Rumours!
But,
bookmakers
rubbished
the
allegations
that
some
of
them
are
conspiring
with
the
makers
of
the
show
to
ensure
Shilpa
doesn't
win
since
it
would
be
bad
for
their
business!
A
bookie
told
TOI,
"I
wish
we
had
that
much
clout
but
all
such
talk
is
nonsense."
More
Bets
Was
From
Up
For
Luv?
It
is
said
that
lot
of
bets
this
season
was
from
UP.
Luv
Tyagi
(a
Gurgaon
resident)
had
a
huge
fan
following
in
west
UP
towns
of
Meerut,
Muzaffarnagar,
and
Ghaziabad
and
bookies
say
that
they
received
considerable
bets
against
his
name
from
these
places
before
his
eviction.
But
Puneesh's
popularity
is
limited
to
Gurgaon.
