For many people Australia Day is as much about triple J’s Hottest 100 as it is about inclusive patriotism, beers, barbies and backyard cricket. Why not make make your beer-fueled fun a little more interesting with a casual wager on your prediction of Australia’s Favourite Song of 2012. Sporting Bet has a long list of potential winners for Number One Song. Let’s take a look at the top odds…
1. Somebody That I Used To Know – Gotye (Ft. Kimbra)
Bookies take: 1.11 to 1 (or a $1 bet pays $1.11)
Our take: There hasn’t been a surer bet for #1 since The Offspring’s “Pretty Fly (for a White Guy)” took out the title in 1998. It really was. And it really did. You know it’s going to win, we know it’s going to win, Gotye – the personification of humility! – knows it’s going to win. Sporting Bet has tipped the following songs to round out the top ten best odds, but proceed with caution because this is a one horse race.
The Hottest 100 starts from midday (around the time people will be waking from their pre-Australia Day ritual of getting shickered) so tune in to triple j and count it down…
