Weird Bet Of The Day: Odds On A ‘Ginger Heir’ – 7/1

Some of the most disturbing pictures we’ve seen in a long time, land in our inbox.

Cheeky bookmaker Paddy Power sent four super-sized babies on a tour of London’s Royal hotspots this morning to promote their various royal baby bets.

Four (frankly terrifying) men in nappies, sporting prosthetic masks and plastic crowns  visited Boujis nightclub, Buckingham Palace and St Mary’s hospital.

The bookie’s latest hair colour odds on a ginger heir are 7/1, brunette 6/4, black hair 2/1 and blond is 7/2. Journalism is listed the outsider career choice for the new Windsor closely followed by modelling.

Turnover on the Royal Baby bets is expected to top £300,000 – a 30% increase on the Royal Wedding bet two years ago.

Odds on Kate and William calling their baby ‘Hashtag’ are currently 500/1.

A Paddy Power spokesperson comments: “According to our patriotic punters we could soon be welcoming Princess Alexandra or Prince George, born on the 17th of July with brown hair weighing in at 7lbs.’
