Novelty Betting – Brit Awards Set To Be Girls’ Big Night Out

Novelty Betting & Other Events Betting

I can’t remember a time when the music scene was so dominated by female artistes and that fact is mirrored by the Brit Awards nominations which lean heavily towards the female persuasion this year. Take, for example, the market for best British single. Reality TV escapees JLS are just about hanging onto favouritism, Coral offering 7-4 that ‘Beat Again‘ picks up the main gong. But it’s obvious that Cheryl Cole‘s debut solo single ‘Fight For This Love‘ will be a serious challenger on the night. Indeed, Skybet make the Girls Aloud star and X Factor judge their 11-8 favourite, though she can be backed at 15-8 with bet365 and boylesport. ‘Bad Boys‘ (Alexandra Burke featuring Flo Rida) is another single that caught the public’s imagination and is a 10-1 chance with bet365 and Paddy Power to win the award, while others prominent in the betting include Lily Allen‘s ‘The Fear‘ which is a general 12-1 shot and Pixie Lott’s ‘Mama Do‘, 16-1 with bet365 and boylesport. The best album category is more clear cut if you believe the bookmakers, with Florence & The Machine’s ‘Lungs’ backed to almost the exclusion of all others. Bet365 and Paddy Power‘s 4-9 is the biggest price you’ll get now but that sounds plenty short enough to me. This is an album which you’ll either love or hate and something with propensity to divide opinion to such a degree can’t be value at such restrictive odds. ‘Lungs‘ may have been in the album top 40 since last summer but I’ve an inkling that the innovative Paolo Nutini’s ‘Sunny Side Up’, which the Daily Telegraph described as ‘ragtime swing with horny energy’, could usurp it on the big night. Bet365 are quoting Nutini’s second album, a quirky mix of soul, jazz and country, at 20-1 but its chance of polling the most votes shouldn’t be underestimated.
