Christmas Number One 2011 betting has begun at Ladbrokes and X Factor contestants The Risk are the 3/1 favourites.

The Risk are already the bookies' favourites to record this year's Christmas Number One according to Ladbrokes.

As Ladbrokes unveil the first betting long list of the year for the coveted festive prize punters will be surprised to see some less than expected names amongst the usual X Factor front runners including Nirvana who are given an opening quote of just 6/1 - making them the fourth favourites to hit the top spot thanks to a campaign to get 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' to the top. 

Janet Devlin is the 7/2 second favourite from Misha B at 11/2 as the odds point firmly towards the winner of the talent show topping the charts. One Direction are also fancied at 16/1 while Jedward (33/1), Rihanna (50/1) and Wham (66/1) are among the established artists on the shorlist. 

Peter Andre and Katie Price are the 400/1 and 500/1 outsiders. 

Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes told Bettingpro: 

"The odds point strongly towards the X Factor winner hitting the top spot this year. We have to respect the Nirvana campaign as it's already gaining momentum - there's a huge chance it could be this year's Rage Against The Machine."

He added: "We're sure we'll have to slash the odds of seasoned campaigners as they announce their plans to launch an assult on the festive charts."
