- One Direction is a British pop band that went on an indefinite hiatus in 2016.
- Their most famous member Harry Styles is currently enjoying a prolific solo career.
- Sportsbooks have odds up on whether One Direction will ever reunite as a band again.
LONDON - One Direction jumped the Billboard charts to musical fame after taking third place in the British edition of “The X Factor” during its seventh season in 2010. After that, the infamously crude TV personality Simon Cowell signed the band to a record deal with his label Syco Records.
After gripping at the heartstrings of tweenagers across the globe, the band decided to go on hiatus in 2016 for what was supposed to be 18 months.
They have not since come back from that hiatus.
However, sportsbooks like Bovada have placed two wagers on the pop band and their odds of reuniting for gamblers to bet on.
What’s The Betting Direction To Take On One Direction?
The bets posted on sportsbooks across the U.S. ask two questions. The first is will “One Direction” reunite before July 1, 2022 with both “Yes” and “No” seeing even odds of (-120).
Will “One Direction” Reunite? has “Yes” as the favored outcome with odds of (-300) and “No” being the underdog with (+200). If Simon Cowell has anything to say about it, the band will reunite once again, but the question of when is any one’s guess.

“If I could get into a room with them all and just say to them, ‘You know what, whether it’s six months or something, I think you would have such a great time and enjoy each other’s company again,” said Cowell. “Maybe I could persuade them. But I think they should do it, definitely. The fans, of course, would love it.”
At the moment, it seems unlikely that the band will reunite within the next year as all of the four remaining members have a lot going on in their own lives, making the first wager a push. The original band consisted of five members; Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik.
Malik was the first to break away and Styles has been enjoying a very lucrative solo career since the “hiatus” began.
But for anyone interested in placing their money on “One Direction” to ultimately reunite, they can find these wagers in the entertainment betting section of any sportsbook. Even the “New Kids On The Block” reunited so its likely a couple of youths like the ones from “One Direction” could continue the direction that group musicians go.
