Nobel Peace Prize Announcement Alerts Paddy Power
Tuesday 05 October 2010 at 13:11
The Nobel Peace Prize which will be announced on Friday has seen bookmakers Paddy Power take evasive action and have cut the favourite for the prize from 6/1 to 3/1. That favourite is Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo and it seems betting momentum has grown worldwide as we get closer to the announcement.
Whoever gets the award there will be controversy although it seems unlikely that Tony Blair will win despite his good works in many countries such is the stigma of the Iraq War. He can be backed at 80/1 with Paddy Power.
The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to 120 Laureates in total, 97 times it has been awarded to individuals and 23 times to organizations. In 2010 the top 3 are individuals including Morgan Tsavirangi and Mary Robinson both at 8/1 with Paddy Power. However some academics feel that the Grandmothers Of The Plaze De Mayo who are an organisation of Argentine mothers whose children disappeared during the military dictatorship are very deserving of the prize.
A full list of Nobel Peace Prize candidates is available at Paddy Power along with the offer of a £100 in free bets for new customers. Click above or below for the full list.
