Good times. Good times.
Due to a quirk of being distracted over the weekend by a string of crap sports bets, I missed out on the 6/1 available on last year's champion
Damien Dempsey over at
William Hill to retain the 'Best Irish Male' award over at the Meteor Awards (Ireland's version of the Brit Awards).
Damien's been bet down from 6/1 into 9/4 and now 6/4 favourite. He's still 9/4 though over at
Bet365 of which they'll let me have £100 but I'm only willing to bet £35.55 because I'm waiting for funds to clear from
Victor Chandler by which time that 9/4 will have disappeared.
Telling factor here could be
Paddy Power's initial quote of 3/1 and Damien's now 6/4 favourite (you'd think of all bookies apart from perhaps
Boylesports that Paddy's would keep their eye on the ball as to what's happening on the Irish music scene).
I can't see how David Kitt was the original favourite (I own a CD of his and I think he's rubbish). Public vote though so watch out.
