Not enough can be said about the extreme weather conditions currently
gripping the United Kingdom, Europe and other regions in the Northern
Hemisphere.
Instead of grumbling about the poor road conditions, closed schools and
cancelled trips, many UK residents are making the best of the bad weather - by
betting on it!
Paddy Power has dedicated an entire section of its Novelty Bets unit
to The Big Freeze and is offering interesting odds to players hoping to make a
buck on their bets.
Will 2010 be the wettest on record in the UK? Paddy Power is offering odds of
6/1 that it will.
Odds of 8/1 that this will be driest year in the UK are currently being
offered at Paddy Power
With the temperatures continuing to plummet, punters may be interested in the
5/1 odds that 2010 will be the coldest on record in the UK.
And if the quantity of snow is not enough for you, you may want to consider
the state of snowfalls in London over Christmas 2010.
Paddy Power is offering odds of 3/1 that a snow flake will fall on Heathrow
Airport this coming Christmas.
Other weather related bets at Paddy Power include:
Ryanair will introduce waiting charges for delayed passengers - 50/1
Liffey will be used as an ice rink - 100/1
The Dublin Spire will freeze and snap in half - 500/1
Frosty the Snowman will be the next Tanaiste - 1000/1
