You can bet online at here at Ladbrokes.com. Looks like the betting is for the top sales across all formats, in all price ranges, though you might want to confirm that with Ladbrokes. Click on the Quick Menu and scroll waaaaaay down to the Christmas bets. The current favourite is Need For Speed: Most Wanted at evens (bet £1, win £1 plus your original stake of £1) with everyone else trailing behind at 6 to 1 and worse odds.

Last year’s winner was Need For Speed Underground 2. The 2003 winner was Medal Of Honour: Pacific Assault.
