What odds do people think I could get on this?

I have no music writing pedigree, and let's fix the year as Xmas 2012

I would need a minimum of 33% writing credit to win bet.

I can't play any instruments personally

Generally firms will just quote a generic 100-1 on things like this.  Be pretty surprised if you would get better than that and some might quote shorter.

haha -

There is no real back story. In my 20's I always wrote lyrics to songs, i guess you might call them poems (but they were songs to me), and my brother occasionally used them for his band.

I love xmas, I have always loved xmas songs, and have often thought of writing one. I think I could probably do a good job of it too.

Thats all really - i guess a bet would just be incentive

Indeed.  Your kids would never have to work again and in years to come they could effectively adopt a young boy and save him from bullying and embarassing situations.

Def not in it for the fame, but yes the money and achievement!

The writing bit is easy, it's getting into the music industry which would be the hard work

Max bet would be low on this surely as you could effectively buy yourselve the Xmas number one spot?

439k copies last year

If you give me 5000/1 on a £1k Peeleeeeno

I will be Xmas number 1

Could be epic

'copies' isn't what you think it means. to sell 493k copies there were prolly 1.4m sold actually.

if you try to buy it, you can't.
