We are now fast approaching the first appearance on our screens of the 2011 X Factor Series and it will be a much changed show this series with three new judges taking their seats on the panel. The new faces are Take That singer Gary Barlow, former Destinys Child star Kelly Rowland and N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos who have replaced the outgoing Simon Cowell, Dannii Minogue and Cheryl Cole with Louis Walsh holding onto his job. Most now see Gary Barlow as the new head judge and his popularity with fans make him the favourite to be the winning Manager according to Bet365, they make him a 11/5 shot to mentor the winner of the new series.

It is very early at this stage to have a bet on the series but this is often the best time to get the value as we wait for the audition stage of the show to appear on our screens. Cheryl Cole proved that you do not have to have the best act on your hands to come out on top with her popularity giving her acts a massive boost when it came to the live public vote each Saturday night. The bookmakers are expecting the same thing to happen to Barlow and his acts while Bet365.com are unable to split the remaining three judges in the winning Manager betting which always proves a popular market.

It would be no surprise to see Louis Walsh  go all the way this year as he is sure to have plenty of support from the public as the only remaining original judge, this is despite the fact that Walsh has never won the show as a judge. Punters wanting to back Walsh to be the winning judge on the new series can get 11/4 with Bet365 and that could prove value if he finds himself with a top group of acts. The popularity of Kelly Rowland and Tulisa will be interesting as well with their fan bases completely different, the bookmakers are struggling to split them and they are both also available at 11/4 with Bet365.com to win the series on debut. It is a massive year for the X Factor in the UK as they look to soak up the losses of Simon Cowell and Cheryl Cole, but all the signs are that it could be as strong as ever and if the early betting is anything to go by we are in for an exciting series.
