It’s time to close out week-long look at the next scandal to take down a US presidential candidate. It’s been fun. No, really.

That means it’s your last chance to place a bet on it, too - remember, it has to be a new scandal and it has to be confirmed by one of the big cable news channels to count. And, honestly, do you want the joy of hearing that a presidential candidate has driven around drunk to be tainted with the disappointment of not winning any money when it happens? Thought not.

Now that Eurovision has come and gone and depressed all British people, it’s time to look for something else to bet on. Sadly, nothing’s quite as important as Eurovision, so we’ve settled on the next best thing.

That’s right, the US presidential elections. But we’re not going to bother ourselves with any of this ‘Who’ll win?’ malarkey - instead we’re focusing on what the next scandal to hit the candidates will be. None are likely to be as funny as Barack Obama’s kooky reverend, but if they happen and get confirmed by either Bloomberg, CNN or Fox, you’ll win. Profiting from other people’s misery - what could possibly be sweeter?

There might already be a deluge of print and television analysis on who'll win this year's US general election.

But, we ask you, is there any election analysis from British websites that usually only spend their time writing puerile jokes about celebrity crap that nobody could ever possibly give a stuff about? No, no there isn't. But now that hecklerspray is doing US general election betting odds, there is. And we can all sleep soundly at night because us that. Unless we've got sleep apnea or any other made-up illnesses.

Yesterday we looked at the Democrats, so today it's only fair that we look at the general election betting odds for the Republicans, with help from Paddy Power…

We're at an interesting point in this year's US general election.

OK, we're at a largely uninteresting point in this year's general election. Everyone's been campaigning for months and everyone's going to campaign for months and everyone's going to complain about whoever wins anyway. But at least the field has been whittled down to three potential presidents now - two Democrats and a Republican - which makes it a bit easier to digest. So let's have a look at which party's going to win the 2008 US general election, shall we?

Here are the general election betting odds for the Democrats, with help from Paddy Power…

We're continuing our special four-day-week political betting odds extravaganza with part two of our Pennsylvania primary betting odds.

If you're wondering why we're looking at the betting odds of a political contest of a country we don't live in based in a state we'll probably never visit between two people who both basically have the same set of policies and are arguing with each other out of a petty need for power, then the answer is easy. It's because Dancing On Ice finished a couple of days ago. Important stuff, you'll agree.

Now that Dancing On Ice is over, we've had to look elsewhere to bring you your daily batch of betting odds.

And the sad truth is that there's nothing quite as exciting or dramatic around. So, since minor celebrities performing shaky rudimentary ice skating moves are out, you're just going to have to make do with the race to become the next leader of the free world. This week we're focusing on the US general election, and we're starting with the outcome of next month's Pennsylvania Democratic primary. It's basically the same as Dancing On Ice, but there's less chance of seeing Holly Willoughby's boob fall out.

So who'll win the Pennsylvania Democratic primary? Here are the Pennsylvania primary betting odds for Barack Obama, with help from Paddy Power…

Wish you could make some money on the results of the Grammys next month? You're in luck.

Wish you could make enough money to buy the Grammys and destroy them right in front of Steven Tyler's weeping face? Well, that'll be a little more difficult, but not impossible. Because this week we're letting you bet on the results of the Grammys Best Song category. Yes, all the nominees are universally awful, but this is to make you rich, not to stop you going deaf, OK?

So here are the Grammys betting odds for Umbrella by Rihanna and Rehab by Amy Winehouse, with help from Paddy Power…

The Grammys are coming, and this week we're letting you bet on who you think will win one of them, because we are kind souls with pure hearts.

Anyway, although the Grammys are going to have the sort of Tina Turner/ Michael Jackson-centric performances that'll have you leaning out of your window to check that it's not the mid-1980s, you can't make money from them. But you can make money from figuring out who'll win the Best Song award at this year's Grammy. Ready?

Good. Then here are the Grammys betting odds for Hey There Delilah by Plain White T's, with help from Paddy Power…

Big Brother Celebrity Hijack is over - not that anyone's actually noticed - so what shall we focus our betting odds eye on now? Dancing On Ice?

Sod off. We'll get round to giving you the Dancing On Ice betting odds next week once we've mentally prepared ourselves for the onslaught of sparkles and lifts and Gareth Gates. But before then, for four days only, we're going to be looking at the Grammys - namely the Best Song category. Who'll win? We think we might have an idea.

So without any further ado, here are the Grammys betting odds for Like A Star by Corinne Bailey Rae…
