Mercury Music Prize Betting Odds Have Bat For Lashes And Florence And The Machine As Favourites
Wednesday 22 July 2009 at 11:22
Mercury Music Prize Betting Odds have been made available by most bookies and they can't separate Bat For Lashes and Florence And The Machine who are joint favourites.
Bat For Lashes Looking To Put 2007 Disappointment Behind Her
Bat For Lashes was favourite to win the Mercury Music Prize in 2007 but missed out to the Klaxons and she could easily go one better this year by taking the award, she is 7/2 with Sportingbet and SkyBet to win.
More Awards For Florence And The Machine
Florence And The Machine has already won the Brit Awards Critics Choice and that could be a good pointer to the singer songwriter winning the Mercury Music Prize and her unique style is certain to go down well with the judges. Florence And The Machine can be backed at 7/2 with SkyBet and William Hill to win the Mercury Music Prize.
A Very Interesting Bet At Decent Odds
Being favourite to win isn't necessarily a good thing, the prize is often won by a surprise outsider so backing some of the better artists at bigger odds could be a good idea. The Horrors are third favourites at 7/1 with Coral, Friendly Fires are 8/1 with Boylesports and William Hill and La Roux could be very interesting at 10/1 with Paddy Power and Ladbrokes. She is as short as 5/1 with other bookies and she looks a great bet at this stage. To see all of the nominations and their odds click on any of the bookie links above.
