£15 000 bet made the leading Bookmaker not to take more bets
A leading bookmaker refuses to take more bets on the topic of which band will record the next James Bond theme song after one of his customers placed a £15 000 bet on saying that Radiohead will be the band who will win the race.
It is an offer that surprised the whole world and although refused, it rose betting to another level. Despite the fact that people say it is a great risk, actually Radiohead have 4/6 odds of recording the James Bond theme song and the risk is not that big.
The move of the leading bookmaker was followed by many of the top online betting sites like Paddy Power, Coral and Online Betting Ladbrokes who also suspended the betting on the subject on which band will be recording James Bond’s theme for the upcoming movie.
What do Radiohead have to say about this?
Their spokesman said that he had no comment on whether the band Online Betting will be the one recording the theme, and would not like to be asked question as he is not allowed to say anything more.
