Punter puts sportsbook on Royal Wedding tenterhooks
The long line of people bashing one half of the Royal couple is about to get longer after one sports book provider is set to lose a rather large sum of money should one woman’s bet come off.
A former guard already slammed Kate Middleton earlier this weekend and a Chinese company wrongly made mugs that depicted her marrying a GINGER. The shame! One punter is making sure that Ladbrokes won’t be celebrating the wedding as feverishly as they once might have done.
The mystery punter put £6,000 on Kate Middleton becoming the first “commoner” to wear the Queen’s diamond tiara.
A spokesperson for Ladbrokes, told the Daily Mail: “When someone walks in off the street and places a bet like that alarm bells start ringing. We have very strong suspicions that this is what she will be wearing on Friday.
“It was a lady, not the kind of person you’d see in a betting shop on any day of the week let alone a bank holiday.
“Asking for a bet in this market is very unusual, asking for a bet of £6,000 is unheard of.”
With odds of 12/1 at her local branch, the woman stands to take home a cool £72,000 if Kate trots out wearing the George III Tiara. The tiara itself was created in 1830 as a necklace with diamonds belonging to King George. There is still a wealth of markets available to bet on regarding the wedding with Bodog offering a number of enticing opportunities to boost your bank account.
