Bookies have instantly added the Sidemen into the betting market for Christmas Number One
The latest Sidemen Sunday video has made bookies add them to the Christmas Number One market with two Christmas singles created.
'Christmas Drillings' and 'This or That' were made in their 'Sidemen $100,000 vs $100 Christmas Song' video and one of the two could well be in the race for Christmas Number One.
William Hill have now made the Sidemen 8/1 to be the Christmas Number One this year and they have two chances to do so with two different songs.
At the time of writing, some bookmakers even have the Sidemen as short as 7/2 to be The Official Charts Company's Number One on Christmas Day.
