Forty-seven-year old singing sensation goes odds on in Britain's Got Talent betting...

Susan Boyle has shot to odds on after Betfair opened a market on the 47-year-old winning this year's Britain's Got Talent - and the competition is only a week old!

The church volunteer from Blackburn in Scotland became an overnight sensation when she defied audience sniggers to wow judges with her TV debut. Piers Morgan said her performance was the biggest shock he had witnessed as a judge on the show for three years and Boyle's Cinderella story has captured the imagination of the nation.

As ever, Betfair punters have been quick to catch on with Yes available to back at [1.67] in the Britain's Got Talent - Susan Boyle Winner? Market.

With her performance attracting over 40 million youtube viewings, appearances on several US TV channels over the last week and ITV calling her "the world's most sought after woman," Boyle's popularity is on the rise.

However, with other impressive candidates having already emerged and five audition shows still to come, have punters been too hasty in making Susan odds-on?

Those who have backed No at [2.4] clearly think so... Let us know your views by posting below...
