But in the second year of the award, bookies say punters are looking for value on outsiders such as Akhil Sharma at 8/1
Ali Smith’s dual-narrative novel How to Be Both is the frontrunner to win this evening’s Folio prize, according to the latest odds from Ladbrokes.
The bookmaker said final odds for the £40,000 literary award saw Smith’s twining together of the stories of a Renaissance artist and a contemporary teenager at 2/1 to win the prize, ahead of Colm Toíbín’s tale of 1960s Ireland Nora Webster, at 5/1. Smith has already taken the Goldsmiths and Saltire prizes, as well as the Costa novel award, and was longlisted for the Baileys women’s prize for fiction earlier this month.
