Bono and Bob Geldof tipped for Nobel

Bono and Bob Geldof are being tipped by bookmakers for the Nobel Peace Prize, with odds shortening sharply since nominations were announced, though Finnish president Martti Ahtissari remains favourite.

Bono and Bob Geldof are being tipped as possible winners of the Nobel Peace Prize when it's announced next month. Notice Midge Ure doesn't get a look in, yet again.

Anyway, their odds have improved hugely over the last couple of months - when the nominations were first announced two months ago, their chances were put at 66-1, but bookies are currently offering odds of 7-1 on the pair, despite the fact they are up against 166 other nominees. The favourite to win is Finnish president Martti Ahtissari who brokered a peace deal in Indonesia, currently standing at 4-1.
