Brit Awards Betting
The Brit Awards, or the 'Brits', are Britain's main pop music event, and one of the biggest awards cermonies in the events betting calendar next to the Oscars, the BAFTA's, and BBC Sports Personality of the Year. Towards the start of each year, the BPI celebrate British pop music and reward Britain's top artists and groups in categories like best single, best album, and best male and female solo artist. The BPI also organise the Classical Brit Awards for slightly more 'sedate' music fans.

Critics tend to see the Brit Awards as an event in which the music industry gives itself a pat on the back and rewards stars for shifting units. Some of this is criticism is perhaps justified, as the event is, after all, largely an industry 'do' organised by the BPI (even if television coverage and the arena of screaming fans make it look significantly more 'populist' or 'democratic' than it actually is). Nevertheless, even if the Brit Awards lack the critical kudos of other UK music awards like the Mercury Prize, they are still seen as the premiere awards in UK Music and a lot of importance is attached to them.
Standard markets for the Brits are for individual artists and groups to win in the main categories. You can probably get very good odds for betting on whether Mick Fleetwood and Sam Fox will get to present the event again as well! Free bets on the Brits are available from suppliers who cover the event.
