2009 CHRISTMAS NUMBER ONE LATEST ODDS – THE RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE FACTOR

There have been significant price fluctuations over the past 24 hours in the UK’s Christmas Number One betting market at Betfair. With the Rage Against the Machine factor becoming a reality, we saw the price drop yesterday to a range of 2.5 from its previous listing at around 4.5. The added media attention has created a surge of internet traffic to this market on Betfair and a cool $100,000 was matched yesterday with a significant amount still remaining unmatched.

As it currently stands, the X-Factor 2009 Winner is listed at a best price of 1.26- still considered a heavy favourite. The layers have come in and the price of “Any Other Artist” has risen to a level around 4.0 or higher. At the time of this writing, somebody is offering 4.1 odds on a $17 stake. That’s a tidy piece of business if you can get it. The highest I’ve seen this morning has been 4.3 at $20.
The volume is certainly expected to break the $1,000,000 barrier by the time the contest ends this coming Sunday. It’s going to be a pretty wild and woolly time until then so I would suggest that you get in there and make your bets right now if you’re looking to bet on Rage Against the Machine to win the Christmas #1 song in the UK for 2009.
Those who doubt the Rage Against the Machine factor should take a quick look at the Winner W/O the X-Factor market at Betfair. You’ll find Killing in the Name Of at a slim 1.05 with the closest challenger being Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance which is trading at a lengthy 26.0.
This is a two-horse race and if you’re tempted to back Tom Morello and the boys, you’re definitely not alone. Punters have been streaming through Betting Choice all week looking for the best odds and prices on this incredible betting opportunity. Most major bookmakers have removed 2009 Christmas Number One betting from their websites. Most will only let you bet on the Winner W/O the X-Factor winner where you can back Rage for an absolutely miniscule price.
