Star Sports have revealed their Top 100 betting specials for 2025, with a continued surge in the value of Bitcoin among the tips.
Bitcoin, currently trading at around $93,000, is priced at 6/1 to smash through the $200k barrier. Elon Musk’s Tesla – trading at $431 per share – is 7/1 to go beyond $750.
Other US specials include the chances of Musk fighting fellow tech tycoon Mark Zuckerberg in either a boxing or MMA contest in 2025 – at 12/1 – with the prospect of Musk purchasing social media platform Bluesky a longer 25/1 shot.
British politician and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, meanwhile, is given a 3/1 chance of exceeding three million followers on X from his current tally of 2.1 million. Reform have five MPs in the House of Commons, and it is 5/1 for them to reach 10 or more seats in 2025. It is a longer 20/1 for there to be a UK General Election next year and 50/1 for TV personality Jeremy Clarkson to become an MP.
Star Sports have also provided markets on Taylor Swift’s prospects in 2025. The American pop sensation is 10/1 to perform at the Super Bowl half-time show alongside Kendrick Lamar, and a shorter 8/1 to wed boyfriend Travis Kelce.
William Kedjanyi, Political Betting Analyst at Star Sports, said: “2024 was a remarkable year in politics and we are expecting more of the same in 2025.
“Bitcoin has surged since Donald Trump won the US Election in November, and we make it a 6/1 chance that the crypto boom will continue, with bitcoin to hit $200k next year.
“Elon Musk was Trump’s close ally on the election campaign and, with many switching from Musk’s X to Bluesky, we have priced Musk’s chances of buying the rival social media platform at 25/1. Musk is 12/1 to take on Mark Zuckerberg in the MMA or boxing ring in 2025. It is 20/1 for Trump to leave The White House in the first year of his second term as President.
“Nigel Farage will no doubt dominate the headlines in the coming months, and the Reform UK leader is 3/1 to reach three million X followers.
“Among our Top 100 betting specials for 2025 is also Taylor Swift’s chances of marrying boyfriend Travis Kelce (8/1) and performing in February’s Super Bowl half-time show (10/1).”
