Betting on the headliners

[TheSeventhOne]

Just signed up on William Hill, deposited money but mobile data so slow byt the time I was ready to place the bet the betting was suspended. Oh well, I'll just withdraw the deposit.

ANd here... worth trying anywhere else?

[eFestivals]

wish I'd made a bigger bet now.

Still, as I'm ticketless currently, if I don't get a ticket that bit of free money should give me an nice alternative weekend.

That's of course if it really turns out to be free money. I know I have great info on this, but it's making me nervous all the same.

Cheers Neil. Thats made my day. Tried for a £100 at 6-1 but maximum bet had already been reduced to £41.67, so went with that at 6-1. Nice.

[Trebor]

For crying out loud! I was seconds away from doing it!

[LondonTom]

[dentalplan]

You can still bet on arrests and the weather.

Managed another 10 at 6/1 so 30 in total! Nice £210 return to pay off the deposit, invest in a better tent

Yepp. The only downside for me is that, I won't actually get to spend the money until the Sunday after they've came on!

Wonder what they pay out. When they get announced or when they actually play

William Hill have just sent a second Glastonbury press release of the day (I quoted the other one earlier in this thread).

The new one says....

Betting Suspended On Kasabian Headlining Glastonbury!

It is all but certain that Kasabian will headline Glastonbury after a number of bets on the Leicester based band with bookmakers William Hill. Offered at 6/1, their odds took a tumble before betting was suspended just before 1pm on Thursday.

“It seems that all Kasabian need to do is sign on the dotted line and they will be playing one of the most iconic sets in the world,” said William Hill spokesman Joe Crilly.

Now they've sent that out, there's certainly no more markets opening anywhere else with them on (or with decent odds).

knowing what I know about betting...... these type of markets take very little money even when compared with a poor horse race, however, bookies are extra cautious as the result may be pre-determined (i.e. the band has already been booked).

The amount of bets would have triggered auto suspension on this market, this happened very quickly indicating a flood of bets..... more than anything else the market will reflect the most likely outcome

conclusion - Kasabian are headlining

Which is OK cos I think they are rubbish and some of the other venues will have the opposite of them playing, I'd like to see the opposite of Kasabian

they're not that cautious - the offer odds on plenty of music stuff where loads of peeps know the pre-determined results long before betting is suspended.

In fact, the one and only time I've previously tried to place a bet was non just such a thing - but they didn't do 'specials' online at that time, and by the time i'd got to a shop they'd suspended the betting as a result of others doing much the same as me.

Nice free money there folks! Only seeing this now would loved to had a bash at placing a bet on it as my bet this year was on the Mac for the Sunday and that cash vanished!! Would have liked a chance to get it back.
