Re: The 'Betting on Christmas' Thread

Aye. A weird market that one was but hey, what a result!

I'm relenting about reports on betting on it snowing but I'm still not betting on it! Today's Bettingzone Market News:

1200: William Hill are expecting a record-breaking gamble on a White Christmas with snow on Xmas day likely to cost the industry over £1million.

At present, Aberdeen is the 7/2 favourite to see snow on the 25th with Glasgow offered at 4/1 and all other cities 6/1.

"The current cold snap has come at the perfect time for White Christmas Turnover and we are confident that we will see a record gamble this year," said Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.

William Hill White Christmas Betting: 7/2 Aberdeen (Pittodrie), 4/1 Glasgow (Cathedral), 6/1 Cardiff (Millennium), 6/1 London (Buckingham Palace), 6/1 Exeter (Met Office), 6/1 Manchester (Coronation Street), 6/1 Liverpool (Albert Docks), 6/1 Birmingham (Bullring), 6/1 Dublin (Airport), 6/1 Belfast (Airport).
