With the Nobel Peace Prize winner due to be announced at 6am ET on Friday, speculation is running rampant about which do-gooder(s) might be taking home the prestigious award. British bookmaker William Hill said it had seen a flurry of last minute betting on the prize, awarded almost every year since 1901 to the candidate who the Nobel committee decides has “done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses“. “We have never had such a volatile Nobel Peace Prize market – there seem to be a number of camps all of whom are convinced that the candidate they are championing is going to be the winner,” said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe. Based on bets placed at William Hill, these are the five people with the highest odds of winning the prize tomorrow morning: 1.
