X FACTOR LATEST ODDS SHOW MARY BYRNE AS OUTRIGHT FAVOURITE

Now that 2010 X Factor is in full-swing, the betting odds are starting to firm up and offer some clues as to just how things are expected to pan out this season. As it currently stands, popular Irish bookmaker Paddy Power has priced Mary Byrne as the distinct 6/1 favourite in early trading to win 2010 X Factor.
Gamu Nhengu is priced as a clear second favourite with an 8/1 listing available at the time of this writing. You can back either Matt Cardle or The Reason at a 12/1 price before the odds take a jump to 20/1 for Annastasia Baker, Katie Waissel and Holly Burns. 
You can back Husstle, Rebecca Creighton or Mark McGregor at 25/1 while Lynn Frances O'Neil is priced at 33/1. Sadbh O'Donnell's odds are trading at 40/1 while Seven and Noir are both priced at 50/1. Stephen Concannon, Princes and Rogues along with Dice are all listed at 80/1. Sugar Byllet and Caroline Clark can be backed at 100/1 while Stephen Hunter is the longest shot on the board with a 150/1 price to win X Factor. 
The winning category betting on X Factor looks to be a toss-up between the Girls and the Boys, who can be backed at 15/8 and 2/1 respectively. Groups are just behind and certainly not out of the equation with a 5/2 price while the Over 28s are trading at 4/1. 
Since Mary Byrne is considered to be such a strong favourite, Paddy Power has already released a slate of special betting odds for the potential X Factor winner. She is a 13/8 price to appear as a guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show. You can lock in an 8/1 price on Mary Byrne to reach a No.1 single in Billboard Hot 100. You can also back an 8/1 price on Mary Byrne to star in a West End show. 
Should Mary Byrne's debut album sell more copies globally than Susan Boyle, you can back a 10/1 price. She is also priced at 10/1 to be parodied on a sketch on Saturday Night Live and she's 10/1 to make an appearance on an episode of the Simpsons. She is 12/1 to be voted in the top 10 most influential people by Time Magazine. 
Dannii Minogue is the favoured judge to be eliminated first with a 7/4 price putting her ahead of Louis at 15/8. Cheryl Cole is priced at 3/1 while Simon Cowell to be eliminated first is trading at 4/1. 
Needless to say, Simon Cowell's odds to be winning judge are trading at 7/4 while Cheryl is at 12/5 while Dannii and Louis are both trading at 3/1.
