The discovery of alien life is one of the most popular bets struck with BoyleSports as people weigh in on what major events could hit the headlines in 2025.
The bookie said the odds of 20/1 have been snapped up as some bettors continue to search the skies for extraterrestrial life.
In the world of showbiz, the chances of Paul Mescal landing an Oscar for his role in Gladiator II are also rated 20/1, while Cillian Murphy will have to overcome odds of 50/1 to lift a second Best Actor award for his role as Bill Furlong in Small Things Like These.
Two sell-out Oasis concerts at Croke Park are sure to be on the 2025 highlight reel for many, and while some say that a falling out between the brothers could mean the Dublin shows are cancelled, at odds of 4/1, the chances of the feuding duo completing their tour without a hiccup remain at 1/2.
It could be a year to remember for Swifties too, with Taylor and partner Travis Kelce at just 6/4 to tie the knot ahead of Ryan Tubridy, who is rated 2/1 to be at the altar.
In terms of a Presidency bid, Tubridy is at odds of 50/1, but it looks increasingly likely that Bertie Ahern (5/1) could make a return to politics as he battles it out for favouritism in the Áras race with Mairead McGuinness (4/1).
Spokesperson for BoyleSports, Brian O’Keeffe, said: “Plenty of punters are having speculative flutters on what events could dominate headlines in 2025, and with everything from the existence of aliens and Oasis breakups appearing on betting slips, we can’t wait to see what the year has in store.”
