Justin Bieber in the running to appear during Usher's halftime show according to latest odds
The Super Bowl halftime show is one of the biggest entertainment events of the year with Usher being the star of the show at this year's Super Bowl.
Usher has said that he will celebrate his 30-year career in style in Las Vegas on Sunday as he follows in the footsteps on big names to perform in the event such as Beyonce and Prince.
Sunday's performance is expected to be a big one with Usher hinting that singers will join him "on songs that became hit records" with Alicia Keys the favourite in the market to be a guest performer.
Justin Bieber is arguably the biggest name in the market though and his odds have been slashed from 7/1 into just 5/2 to appear alongside Usher during Sunday's show.
Those odds give an implied probability of 28% that Bieber shows up in the halftime show in Vegas on Sunday to make what would be a major comeback to performing.
| To appear during Usher's Super Bowl Halftime show | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Alicia Keys | 1/4 | 80.0% |
| Lil John | 1/3 | 75.0% |
| Ludacris | 1/2 | 66.7% |
| Justin Bieber | 5/2 | 28.6% |
| Nicki Minaj | 3/1 | 25.0% |
