Many people bet based on headlines or hunches. I dig into research and market moves behind political odds & manager markets, so you can back decisions, not guesses.
Wettest Day Records
On Saturday 3rd October many weather stations across the country recorded the biggest amount of rainfall ever in one day.
In Oxfordshire, 60 millimetres were registered and in Aberdeenshire, 66 millimetres was measured.
That daily amount of 60/66 millimetres is around 25% of the total average October rainfall, remember that happened on 1 very wet day.
The average rainfall on the 3rd of October across the entire UK was 31.7 mm (1.25 inches) which was well ahead of the previous high of 29.8 mm (1.17 inches) which occurred on the 25th of August 1986.

Weather Betting
The best betting sites are never slow to offer a market if they think there will be bets placed, this has happened in a big way when it comes to betting on the weather.
We of course have White Christmas Betting which experiences great interest from punters, but now climate odds for Spring, Summer and Autumn have started to be priced up by the bookies.
