Massive Gamble Sees Burial Mercury Music Prize Betting Odds Shorten
Tuesday 09 September 2008 at 12:51
 William Hill have reported that a massive bet last night has forced them to trim their odds on Burial winning the Mercury Music Prize tonight to just 8/11.
Burial Backed For Months To Win Award
Burial has been the favourite to win the Mercury Music Prize for months but the price is now much shorter than it was following some sizeable bets. The best price the south London dubstep artist can be backed at now is 5/4 with Stan James.
Elbow and Radiohead In The Running
Elbow from Manchester are 7/2 second favourites with Bet365 for their album The Seldom Seen Kid. Radiohead, who have been nominated for the prize three times, are 5/1 with Bet365 and Stan James. Their album In Rainbows was unique in that it was sold as an internet download.
Difficult To See Past Burial
Amongst other credible nominees are The Last Of The Shadow Puppets (20/1 Stan James) and Adele (40/1 Bet365). It seems though that someone with plenty of money to bet knows something and most people are expecting Burial to take home the prize tonight, justifying the 5/4 available with Stan James.
