I hate that record. I really do. I think its awful. It might do well here, as a lot of crap records chart really high.

Nothing against David Hasselhoff. I remember loving Night Rider as a very young kid. When I was 10 I was obsessed with Baywatch and I thought he was really sexy. He holds a part of my youth.

But that song bites.

Thank you... that's what I've been desperately trying to tell everyone for the past 3 weeks.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

William Hill have halved the price of David Hasselhoff having his first UK number 1 this weekend from 10/1 to 5/1 after the latest sales figures show that he has climbed to fourth in the mid week charts.

"A month ago I would have given you 1000/1 for David Hasselhoff having a UK number 1 and now we are 5/1. Please stop buying it as if he makes it we are going to lose a lot of money." said Hills spokesman Rupert Adams.

That really is sickening, Imagine if you put a few quid on him reaching number 1 at 1000/1 odds and it actually happening! :shock:

Now wouldn't that be attempted rigging by the betting companies?

It was about 6.45 as I was listening in my Shop which is a Betting Office for William hill, and as an unofficial spokesperson I can tell you that anyone who placed a bet at before Scott started the campaign would have got 1000/1 irrespective of what they changed the price to later on.

I'm a bookie, I know these things.

Sometimes here, sometimes not.

Yeah the price whenever you place the bet stands, surely? But if bookies start saying "dont buy it coz we'll lose loads of money" that's not on... surely thats the whole game of betting and being a bookie?

Bookies can say whatever they want, if people want to do as they suggest then that's up to them.

However If I were a smart bookmaker and wanted to make lots of money, then I'd presume the song wasn't gonna get to number 1, then give it a really low price to make it look like it's doing well and then do an interview saying stop buying it 'cos we'll have to pay loads out, thus encouraging other people to bet on it who wouldn't buy the song beause if the bookie is scared then it's probably going to happen when all along, the bookie knows it doesn't stand much chance of getting to no. 1

It's called something like reverse advertising or something I think.

EDIT - also 5/1 is not that good a price, I haven't seen the market, but I'll bet that if Razorlight are in it as well then it'll be odds on. so while 5/1 may seem like a good price compared to 1000/1 (from a bookies point of view) it's not that great.

Sometimes here, sometimes not.

Kinda like reverse psychology.

I live in Canada and I tried to download the Hoff Jump In My Car single from iTunes and it wouldn't let me. Whenever I tried to buy the song from the UK iTunes it just redirected me back the Canadian one which doesn't have the Hoff single. Blimey.

and I doubt the Canadian I-Tunes purchase would count toward the UK chart, even IF it was on there... Maybe it'll be released there sometime soon... oh well, thanks for trying anyways :biggrin:
