Christmas Number 1 Odds
The Christmas Number 1 odds for the Irish Number One have been priced up by Paddy Power. Most of the bookmakers have run scared of putting up any odds either in the UK or Ireland as the X Factor winner usually wins this hands down. In reaction to the BBC Radio decision to ban on the word "faggot" from the Pogues' 1987 Christmas hit Fairytale of New York, Patriotic Irish punters have wasted no time backing this Festive favourite to be Top of the Pops in Ireland on Christmas Day.

The single has been the subject of a "colossal" gamble according to Bookies Paddy Power who have slashed the odds from 20/1 to 2/1 second favourite. The only obstacle now standing in the way of Christmas success for the London/Irish outfit is X-Factor winner, Leon, who remains the Bookies odds-on 1/3 favourite.
Ken Robertson said "Since the news broke earlier about the BBC decision, we've taken over €10,000 of bets in support of the Pogues. Should Shane and the lads manage to pull it off we'll be looking at a six-figure payout"
