The Guardian reports a rush to bet on Paul Weller for the Mercury Music Prize. His odds have dropped to a frankly ridiculous 1/10 on. Which probably goes to show the imperfections of markets…
Anyway, despite this (below) from my post on July 30th , it wasn’t me distorting the odds over the last couple of days, promise!
Paul Weller: PS rating 8; Betfair odds (approx) 30 – 1; PS odds 6-1
A very strange but often quite wonderful album. As I said when I reviewed it here; “one of the most interesting and occasionally perplexing album I’ve heard for ages”. If they want an established artist doing something brave and a bit mad, pushing the boundaries after 30 years in the business…this is it. A good long shot.
Always thought 30/1 were daft odds though… and yes, I did get a piece of that on Betfair so I will be delighted if he comes through!
