Mercury Prize Betting: Kaiser Chiefs Heavy Favorites

READ MORE: Event Betting, Kaiser Chiefs, Mercury Prize

KAISERCHIEFS.jpgWhat? No Priest? Blasphemy! Yes, apparently the music critics are still hung up on the Brit-Pop thin-wristed phenomenon based on the early odds to win this year’s Mercury Prize. The Kaiser Chiefs(not the chefs) are the 4/1 favorite for rainy day glory as handicapped by British bookmaking thugs William Hill. Not familiar with the Mercury Prize? Since 1992, the Mercury Prize award is given to the best in British music, regardless of the genre. So, that may help us with the betting as Coldplay, Blocparty, and KT Tunstall are all snapping at the Chiefs’ heels at 6/1. But we’d much rather listen to Screaming for Vengeance.
