Girls Aloud 2/1 to be the first band to break-up next year

Paddy Power expect reality TV’s most successful group to split

The period between Christmas and the new year sees novelty betting become more prominent as you can put money on anything from snow on Christmas Day to which celebrity couple will announce they’re having a baby first.

One of the markets being offered by Paddy Power is on which pop group will break-up first next year and Girls Aloud are the 2/1 favourites to go their separate ways. For a long time the girl band have been rumoured to be on the verge of a split and there are always murmurings off arguments but the fact they are still going strong suggests it could all be over-exaggerated.

The other contenders are McFly at 9/4, Sugababes at 7/2, Westlife at 6/1, the recently reformed Boyzone at 8/1, Take That at 14/1, U2 at 25/1 and Oasis at 33/1.

Who will play Barack Obama in a movie about his life?

Will Smith 6/4 favourite to portray the new US President

JFK, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and now George Bush have all had biopics released about their time as President so it seems inevitable that there will eventually be a film depicting the rise to power of America’s first black Head of State.

Paddy Power make Will Smith the 6/4 favourite while Jamie Foxx (5/2) and Denzel Washington (4/1) are close behind and OJ Simpson is a very big outsider at 100/1.

Obama has promised to buy his children a puppy and there is even a book open on what he will name it. The favourite is George at 8/1 while joke options include Joe the plumber at 250/1 and Osama at 500/1.
