I've spent over 20 years inside the betting industry. I'll guide you to avoid the hype, ignore the noise, and steer clear of the common pitfalls that catch out everyday punters.
While the auditions may be over for the Britain's Got Talent competitors, the Buzzers, Red Crosses and action is far from finished as Britain's favourite talent show moves into live Semi-Finals week.
Every night from Monday 30th May, there are 5 live semi-finals where two acts will go through each night to the Live Grand Finale on Sunday 5th June, showing on ITV at 7:30pm
Maxwell Thorpe remains the favourite to win outright after his surprise and nervous Operatic performance, whilst Tom Ball who got his Yes's on the very first audition show remains right behind him in betting sites odds.

Singers and Dancers are The Most Widely Represented
There are 14 Singers in the semi-finals, 10 dance acts and 5 Magic acts, 6 Comedians or Ventriloquists, and then a whole host of specialist acts from Martial Arts through to Titan the Robot.
Comedy Acts have won 2 of the last three completed shows, whilst we have had only 2 Singers win the final since 2011. Something to bear in mind, given they are the most represented type of act.
