Bachelor Australia Season 6 - Nick Cummins - Betting Odds - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Like Bobette said, I think the close date on Sportsbet is pretty irrelevant. I'm fairly certain that they've just put down some arbitrary date after the expected finale date -- so that betting doesn't close prematurely -- and then they will manually suspend betting on the night of the finale.

What I find really fascinating is the $1,000 max bet for Brittany. I've never seen Sportsbet permit such a large wager on the favourite in any of the previous Bachelor/Bachelorette/BIP seasons. It's usually a couple of hundred dollars. No winner!?

I can only think that if Brittany really is the winner then they might think it too obvious if they restricted betting on her to some very small amount and lifted the limits on the other girls. But, even in that scenario, it begs the question: why lift betting limits in the first place? Are there really people out there who have already bet $500 (the previous limit) on F2, F3, F4, and wanting to put more on? Or, is it more likely that they are raising the limits to induce more bets on Brit so they clean up when there is no winner? The no winner scenario ignores Nick's testimony that he has spent time with the winner but the behaviour of the bookies is perplexing.

Thanks Sundy. I wanted to see them for Survivor Cause the winner has changed on there for that show.
