Llosa was initially at 45/1 on Ladbrokes but was shortened to a final price of 25/1.David Williams of Ladbrokes told Bettingpro: “We're breathing an enormous sigh of relief. Yet again, the judges have confounded the punters and plucked a relative outsider out of the mix. The gambles on Ngugi wa Thiong'o and Cormac McCarthy were nothing short of staggering and we saw more money bet on the contest this year than in its entire history. We'll send a crate of champagne to the winner because he's helped us dodge a massive payout.” Read our Ladbrokes review Use code MAXIMUMBONUS to get £50 free at Ladbrokes Like Like Post to wall 1421 Reads All Entertainment News Recent Entertainment Articles Ladbrokes Offer 4/1 Jubilee Weekend Rises Above 100F24 May 2012The odds of a temperature record being broken over the Jubilee weekend have been slashed again by L Adelaide favourite for South Australian name change23 May 2012With rumour that South Australia may be looking for a name change, ‘Adelaide’ has been installed as Jubilee weekend set to be a scorcher22 May 2012The odds of temperature records being broken across the Jubilee weekend have been slashed by Ladbro Katie Price 2/1 To Get Married In Las Vegas17 May 2012Katie Price is just 2/1 to get married in Las Vegas, according to bookmaker Ladbrokes.
