Carbon heads Christmas Number One betting list

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).
