Odds now given on Beyonce's Christmas Day NFL Halftime Show
Last month, Netflix announced that Beyonce will perform live on Netflix on Wednesday, Dec. 25 as part of the streaming platform's first live Christmas NFL games.

Super Bowl XLVII in 2013 in New Orleans saw Beyonce headline the Halftime Show and she also made an appearance alongside Coldplay and Bruno Mars at Super Bowl 50 three years later.
Bookmakers now offer odds on potential guest appearances alongside her during the Christmas Day performance with Dolly Parton the 1/2 favourite.
| To perform alongside Beyonce on Xmas Day | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Dolly Parton | 1/2 | 66.7% |
| Miley Cyrus | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Post Malone | 3/1 | 25.0% |
