 There is another cold snap on the way and weather forecasters are now saying that a White Christmas for much of the country seems likely, the bookies' odds on a White Christmas 2010 have continued to shorten over the past week or two.
Bookies Running Scared With More Snow Forecast
One of the most popular White Christmas bets is to bet on London having a White Christmas, in the past 24 hours SkyBet have been forced to change their odds on a White Christmas in London twice, they went from 10/3 to 3/1 and after more money SkyBet had to avoid taking bets by offering just 2/1. That is some way below the best odds currently available, Bet365, who offer up to £200 in free bets to new customers, are willing to go 11/4 on a White Christmas in London, as are Totesport. When the snow hits much of the country on Thursday night and Friday morning those odds are likely to shorten yet again. The shortest odds currently available on a White Christmas is London are with Victor Chandler, they offer just 5/4, which almost makes it a 50:50 chance.
Odds Have Shortened On Most Of The UK
Once people have checked out the odds on a White Christmas in London the next thing they look for is the odds on the nearest big city to where they live. It looks like Scotland is pretty likely to have a White Christmas, Aberdeen is 13/8 with William Hill whilst Edinburgh and Glasgow are both 7/4 with William Hill. The North West of England could also be in for a White Christmas, Newcastle is also a 7/4 chance with William Hill. The likes of Bristol, Cambridge, Cardiff, Birmingham and Leeds are all 2/1 with William Hill for a White Christmas, as are Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds. Many parts of Ireland may miss the White Christmas though, Belfast is 5/2 with Boylesports whilst Dublin and Cork are even less likely, they are 11/4 and 9/2 respectively with Boylesports for a White Christmas.
