I think the bookies are lurking on Dissensus, and adjusting the odds as we speak after reading this thread.

Erm yeah - afaik, bookies don't care who's actually most likely to win, they want to make sure that whoever wins they come out ahead. So it's mostly based on who people want to put money on.They'll be adjusting their odds largely based on what bets are being made at this stage I should think.

Well, this is true but in, say, horse-racing the bookies have an extra layer of expertise and a knowledgable (and brave) bookie will keep longer odds than his rivals on a horse his expertise tells him isn't going to win even if there is a lot of money going on it (though of course not to the extent of giving any of the punters a middle). My (admittedly not that exciting) point was that on this issue the bookies do not have that extra level of expertise so it's purely about where money goes and their odds therefore aren't much use other than as a guide to which record the bookies think most people will think will win."yeah odds always move according to where the money's going, it's just financial prudence from the bookies."

The only two nominees that sound any good to me are burial and Neon Neon. I have to say that the idea of a concept album based on the life of John DeLorean appeals to me a great deal. Is it any good?
