Online betshop Paddy Power has released its odds list for the Christmas videogame number one. Clear favourite Need For Speed Carbon is predicted to romp home at 8/13 - not great odds if you were hoping to retire on the proceeds of a modest bet. The next challenger is EA again with FIFA 2007 at 4/1. After that you're looking at a 10/1 threeway between Zelda, Gears of War and Eragon.
Any dark horse outsiders worth a punt? Let's face it, no one stands a chance with Need For Speed around - the series has dominated the Christmas charts for the last three years. Oh okay then, put a quid on Zelda if you're feeling frisky (and like to donate money to betting establishments).
