Royal Bets
An interesting bet from William Hill asks players if the Queen will stay on her throne by 9 January 2015 and become the longest serving British monarch, or she will step down before that. Currently, Queen Victoria holds the record with 63 years and 216 days on the throne (1837 – 1901).
The odds are 1.25 for the Queen to break the record, very low if you ask us and definitely not worth a bet. What is interesting though is a new trend on the internet that says the Queen will announce she steps down in the next few days and during the celebrations for her birthday. The odds at this bet are 33, down from 55 a few hours ago, and it seems more and more people are betting on this. This is a bet worth putting some risk into as the returns are really high.
Other bets available at William Hill include William and Kate’s first child to be a girl and to later become a monarch. This bet surprisingly has surprisingly low odds, only 24 to 1, to come true.
