Britons are placing bets on royal wedding details
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Two of the favorite pastimes in Britain — royal-watching and betting — are morphing into one raucous market centered on the royal wedding.
Prince William and Kate Middleton aren't even married yet
- that will take place April 29.
- but some Britons are already betting they will end up getting divorced.
The odds are unlikely, the topic is disrespectful but when two people disagree on a subject, it's time to lay some money down.
"There's a real tradition of betting on what the royals will do next," said Darren Haines, a spokesman for bookmaker Paddy Power. "The U.K. has a strange fascination with the royals."
One of the most popular wagers for the past several years
has been on if, when and where Kate and Will would marry. After news of their engagement broke in November, the when — as in, what month — brought in 30,000 pounds ($48,000) worth of bets, spokesman Alex Donohue said. The where — now confirmed as Westminster Abbey — drew about 15,000 pounds ($24,000) worth of wagers for the betting firm.
With those questions answered, bookmakers are looking to capitalize on the royal wedding mania by adding the novelty bets before more details emerge. The market is small now, but expected to swell as the big day draws near.
Middleton will arrive at the ceremony by car and leave by carriage. Will she walk into Westminster Abbey right on time, three minutes late, or make guests wait longer for a glimpse? How long will the train of her dress be? Gamblers are invited to place bets on all the above
