Play The Arcade
Prices are available on the Brit Awards 2011 and a key indicator is who’s performing on the night. With Arcade Fire and Rihanna on the bill, we fancy both to grab gongs, so take the best-priced 11-10 with SkyBet, Arcade Fire‘s ‘The Suburbs‘ wins Best Int’l Album and 11-8 with Victor Chandler they win Best International Group, and 4-7 with Ladbrokes for Rihanna to win Best Int’l Female.
Best Single is voted for by fans and it’s a no-brainer that a boy band with an avid following stands a great chance in this (JLS won it last year). For this reason, The Wanted‘s All Time Low is the bet at 7-2 with Ladbrokes.
In the Best Female category there has been good support for Laura Marling, though a similar gamble on Pixie Lott last year did not come off, and we’d favour Ellie Goulding to win this at a widely available 7-4.
Tinie Tempah is the bet for Best Breakthrough Act at 4-6, (Boylesports and Betfred), Mumford & Sons at 4-5 with Bet365 to win Best Album, and Plan B to be Best Male at a best-priced 4-7 with Coral.
You can’t double up but back all 8 of these selections individually and you should achieve a healthy profit.
