After a brief recovery from Big Brother...

Special Bets will be back shortly to cover X-Factor. See our coverage from last year's show here; We've also changed our look after a huge amount of feedback complaining that the black website background was hard to read, hope you like it.

We'd also like to mention a new Specials forum that should be up and running as X-Factor betting begins in earnest - Mal's Place - run by Betfair forumite Maloolaboo - Mal is taking sign-ups now ahead of the launch proper.

Our traffic growth has been stellar this year (click the image below for bigger) with 74,000 visitors so far this quarter.
