With many UK residents housebound due to freezing weather conditions
currently pounding the nation, now is the perfect time to make some extra cash
by betting on the snow and weather conditions.
UK motorists have been advised to stay home in order to avoid treacherous
road conditions, with the AA attending to 15,000 call outs in one day alone on
Sunday - double the numbers it dealt with on Saturday.
As such, top UK online sports betting sites have started offering odds on
this year's weather through their novelty betting sections, where betting fans
can wager on odds ranging from the hottest to the coldest year on record.
Currently most of the UK is on Amber Alert, the country's second most severe
weather warning. The weather has brought extreme travel chaos to large parts of
Britain, resulting in hundreds of flights being cancelled and thousands of cars
being stranded on national highways. Even train and underground services have
been disrupted.
So will this be the coldest year on record in the United Kingdom and Ireland?
Punters should take a look at the odds currently offered at online bookie sites
such as Paddy Power and make their decision, allowing them the opportunity to
bet on the UK weather.
Odds of 9/1 are on offer at the Irish gambling giant's website that this will
be the coldest year on record in the UK and the same odds for Ireland.
There are also odds of 7/2 that London will experience a White Christmas in
December 2012, and 4/1 that Dublin will do the same this year.
Bet on Hot and Dry Weather Conditions
With the weather the way it is right now, the thought of sun and
heat may the furthest things from our minds right now, however, if you're
already visiting online sports betting sites such as Paddy Power and Ladbrokes,
then be sure to check out their other weather markets.
You might be able to keep yourself warm with thoughts about upcoming summer
months by placing a bet on these "heated" markets and, who knows, you may even
make enough cash to pay for your next vacation!
