Bookies give special odds on a range of markets around Bradford's year as the City of Culture
Bradford were awarded the 2025 City of Culture award back in May last year and bookies are giving a variety of betting specials around what will happen for the city after taking over from 2021 winners Coventry.
The year will be massive for the city with Coventry securing more than £172m of direct investment to support the programme of events in their city of culture year with the same expected for Bradford.
Betway make it 6/4 that Jonny Bairstow captains England in a Test Match in 2025 as the favourite special in the betting market for Bradford's 2025 and it could be decent odds if he's still playing Test Cricket in that time.
| Bradford 2025 Specials | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Jonny Bairstow to captain England in a Test Match in 2025 | 6/4 | 40% |
| Bradford Bulls to win the Challenge Cup in 2025 | 40/1 | 2.4% |
| Bradford City to play in the Premier League in 2025 | 50/1 | 2% |
| Bradford City to win the FA Cup in 2025 | 250/1 | 0.4% |
Cricketer Jonny Bairstow is Bradford born and has been a key part of England's test match side with some superb batting performances in the last few years.
With odds of 6/4, bookies feel there is a 40% chance that in 3 years time Bairstow will captain England in a test match.
Bradford City are 250/1 to win the FA Cup in 2025 which is the longest odds special
Bradford City are known for a big cup upset with their win over Premier League side Chelsea at Stamford Bridge by 4 goals to 2 in 2015 one of the biggest there's been in the FA Cup in the last decade.
The Bantams reached the quarter-final stage of the FA Cup in that season, with Reading defeating them in that round 3-0 in a replay.
The biggest odds in the Bradford 2025 betting specials market is for Bradford City to win the FA Cup in 2025 at odds of 250/1.
This means that there is just a 0.4% chance of them winning the cup in that year according to the probability of the odds.
