Christmas Number One Odds Dominated By X Factor And The Trashmen
Thursday 11 November 2010 at 10:05
 The latest Christmas Number One 2010 Betting Odds suggest this year's Christmas Number 1 is just a two horse race. The X Factor winner is expected to win it as is normally the case but there is a very interesting second favourite at the moment in the Christmas Number One Betting Odds.
Surfin Bird Could Be Surprise Christmas Number One
The X Factor winner traditionally goes to number one although four straight Christmas Number Ones were interrupted last year by the Rage Against The X Factor campaign which saw Rage Against The Machine put X Factor winner Joe McElderry into number two spot. The bookies expect normal service to be resumed this year, although they are taking sight caution by offering quite generous odds of 1/2 with Totesport on the X Factor winner. The clear second favourite is now the Trashmen. Many people might not instantly recognise that name, that is because their hit ‘Surfin Bird' was originally released back in 1963. It has been made popular again by TV show Family Guy and it is now just 9/4 with Bet365 but you can still get 7/2 with Paddy Power.
Take That And Michael Jackson Battling For Number One Album
All the other possibles for Christmas Number One Single are huge odds, Take That might be worth an outside bet at 28/1 with Totesport. It seems the Christmas Number One Album Betting Odds are a bit more competitive, the current favourite is equally as popular as the X Factor winner is in the single market, you can get 8/15 with Paddy Power and Totesport on Take That scoring the Number One Album with Robbie Williams back in the group. Michael Jackson's new album has been popular in the past week, it is now a real threat to Take That and can be backed at 3/1 with William Hill (as short as 15/8 with Totesport). Other contenders include Paddy Power at 7/1 with Paddy Power and also JLS at 10/1 with Boylesports.
