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 City to play in the Premier League in 2025 | 50/1 | 2% |
