if anyone wants a punt - and it IS a punt - the only thing on there worth putting your money on is F.Mac.

It isn't K, and it's defo not E, it's not DM. None of the others are guaranteed, but F/Mac is the only one with odds that make a punt worthwhile.

Stuck 8 pounds on Metallica

Will get £19 if they're announced

I am a poor student so those odds were worth it!

From what I think I know, it's really not. There's too much chance of losing your money for too little sizable return.

Neil, if you were the bookie what odds would you have on each of those, but also with what knowledge you already have?

[FirsG]

Neil, what would your odds be for Metallica/Prince/F.Mac headlining? As the situation stands right now what is the probability for any of them?

Stay cool guys, we can just wait until we know more before placing bets...

[eFestivals]

i've said all I feel qualified to say above.

My personal view is don't bet on any of those, but I'm not a betting man so would only probably go for what I felt was a sure thing. I don't believe any of those to be a sure thing.

Well FMac HAVE just announced a 34 date US tour kicking off at the end of Sept (with Christine McVie).

I suppose this still makes it more likely they'll headline next year's Glastonbury rather than this year's...

Me thinks Paddy has signed up for Efests under a pseudonym or something..... all the acts talked about on here.

Metallica very VERY short though. I like a bet but rarely take 11/8 about anything unless I think its a shoe in.

There's obviously no inside info from Paddy, probably not a pseudonym either. It's just a case of people shoving bets on acts that have been rumoured, hence the odds lower. I'm sure that the discussion on here plays a part in which acts some people bet on.

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

tbh, paddy's would be stupid not to look through these threads for glasto odds

[DL50]

NME have made an article out of it http://www.nme.com/news/metallica/76371

[GlastoSimon]

The market only reopened today though so they must have got their figures from somewhere.

Unless it's just not been open online, I dunno about that though.

I think the bet makes it all the more exciting now waiting for the lineup to drop. Surely it must be within the next week

Heard from a few others places it's Kasabian

[andyhh]

When can we start claiming our William Hill bets?

[russycarps]

After they've actually played I suspect. They could still pull out at any time even if announced I suppose (illness etc)
