If you’re tired of your usual betting routine and feel like mixing it up a bit, Paddy Power Sports is offering some intriguing bets this week:

BBC's The Voice

To kick things off this week, Paddy Power Sports are offering odds for the outright winner of the BBC’s The Voice. The Irish bookmakers have valued a win for Leanne Mitchell at 6/1, whilst more cautious gamblers out there can make a modest return on Bo Bruce (5/4), the current favourite across the board.

BBC Sports Personality of the Year

You can also take advantage of a special offer at Paddy Power Sports by opening up a new account and using your free bets to back your choice for 'BBC Sports Personality of the Year'. The favourite is currently heptathlete extraordinaire Jessica Ennis (4/1), although with odds currently standing at 8/1 for Andy Murray, it may well be worth a small flutter at this early stage. For the really adventurous, take a punt on a golfer with Ian Poulter, Graeme McDowell and Paul Casey ranging from 80 to 150/1.

Jay Z and Beyonce's Baby: Blue Ivy Carter

For those who prefer it over at Ladbrokes Sports, review the Specials market page where you’ll find an opportunity to speculate on the future career of Jay Z and Beyonce's offspring, Blue Ivy Carter. The bookies are offering even odds on the baby to have a US number 1 single before the age of 18, whilst the chancier amongst you might want to risk a small bet on her becoming a future President of the United States (50/1).

Political Betting

Those of you with your fingers on the political pulse in the UK might want to stick with Ladbrokes Sports, who currently have Jeremy Hunt as favourite to be the next member of the cabinet to leave (4/6), with Baroness Warsi (7/2) catching up.

Finally, if you’re looking for something really silly this week, head on over to Bet365 Sports for some US Presidential betting, where you’ll find Newt Gingrich at 100/1 to win and, rather surprisingly, Hillary Clinton coming in at 50/1.
