Sunday headliner betting

Well it ain't the Stones

I'd be careful about putting too much faith in that story.

The Stones PR people have a history of putting out untrue stories denying tours and the like, and it's definitely the case that a tour was being planned for 2010 .... it's quite possible tho that things have now changed (I'd guess if that's the case it's because Ronny is on the piss), so I don't discount the story altogether.

"Following recent UK media speculation, The Rolling Stones would like to make it clear there are no plans at the moment for the band to tour in 2010,"

All that says it that they won't be touring. Can't see how that rules out a 1 off gig at Glasto

The odds apply to the Saturday headliner & not Sunday. See link below:

cant imagine anyone being suckered into betting on the kaiser cheifs, even at 18-1. i can picture the outrage in the forums now if that one was announced as sat headline on pyramid !

[CiderFiend]

Not sure what chance some bloke called Kyle has at headlining the Pyramid though...even at 40/1

[lord stradmor]

considers hanging around Paddy Powers in Shepton Mallet for a couple of days to see if anyone I recognise pops in...

sounds like id be the only person really dissapointed if muse/rolling stones/led zep were in the headlining slots?

[she bangs the drums]

What the f**k??? I'm not betting now, Muse are at 7/4

I thought it was updated dailey or something not every time someone put a bet on

yeh i admit the stones absolutely deserve to headline i just dont lyk any of their music, same for led zep, and as everyone else says if theres someone you dont want to watch, dont watch them! there plently of variety, personally im more into more modern bands lyk the killers and coldplay and dance stuff so really hoping fatboy slims there as i missed him at V last year

word I've heard is that Kyle isn't playing this year. And nor is his sister.

They stopped all bets now? No mention of the odds on oddschecker or Paddy Power anymore. That's no fun

I guess influx of people betting on Muse means the bookies want to close books to ensure they make a profit? Going from 4/1 to 5/4 within 24 hours is a big change.

Muse seems to obvious for me can see them playing at some point but they headlined sunday 6 years ago not sure they will have the same slot again

[glasto10]

I've clicked on the link to paddy power and it says that it is now unavailable, does that mean it is pretty much nailed on to be muse?

So i'm sure that when this market was still open it said it finished Jan 10th 10pm and by that time if the headliner wasn't known then dead heat rules would apply. My bet still says pending so are we having to wait for an announcement before winning/losing this bet? If that's the case then I don't unerstand how the dead heat rule can apply.

EDIT: So I just finished a live chat with paddy power (such a great tool live chat) and they said that the dead heat rule applies if there was a dual headliner...I was told this wouldn't happen. How he could be so sure I don't know but i'd say if Glasto were to ever do a dual headline slot it would be this year because they may want to do something special for the 40th anniversary. We'll have to wait for an official announcement for our bets to be settled anyway.
