- Tom Balls wins 3rd Semi Final and placed as favourite to win outright by bookmakers.
- Betting sites cut Eva Abley's price in half to just 10/1 after she win judges vote
- Immi Davis remains in betting despite elimination after mention of a possible wildcard entry to the final
- Maxwell Thorpe drifts slightly in the market and is now odds against according to bookies.
Sensational 23 year old teacher and singer was the last act to perform on Britain's Got Talent on Wednesday night in the third Semi-final and he blew everyone away and won the public vote to ensure a place in the final on Sunday night and a swath of fans launched into his chance by betting on Britains Got Talent to be won by the West Sussex warbler.
Betting sites immediately reacted by placing him at top of the market as odds on favourite to win, displacing Maxwell Thorpe who had done the same on the first SF on Monday night.
Joining Tom in the final was Young Comedian Eva Abley who had David Walliams, The audience [and me] in stitches with her superb delivery of jokes, with Simon Cowel being the target on more than one occasion.
She progressed after being the judges choice against magician Keeichi Iwasaki who was third but eliminated.

Look out for the Wildcards
Immi Davis is a sensation, and for just 9 years of age performed in a manner that belied her age, and size for that matter. With comments from Cowell at the end that she should be in the final, and the fact the semis will only produce 10 acts from qualification we can expect Immi to get one of those wildcards as the final line up is extended to at least 12 performers on Sunday.
