New Wagers for Beckham Baby

Friday, April 1st, 2011 - Emily W

In the UK, wagering on celebrity lives is becoming a popular pastime. While the Royal Wedding has seen a great deal of betting activity, the new Beckham baby is seeing its own fair share. Now that Victoria and David have announced that they will be having a girl, a whole new set of bets have opened up for British punters. 

Currently, there is a wide list of names available on which punters can wager. For some reason, Angel has the best odds, followed by Sandra, Lola and Ruby. However, knowing the Beckhams and their affinity for strange baby names, we’d imagine that the fourth baby will have something a little more interesting than Lily or Isabella. In fact, one of the options allows players to bet on the name “Galaxy” – though the odds are 200/1. 

The announcement of the baby’s gender has also opened up some “Specials”. Punters can actually bet on her fate! There are several options to choose from. Will she have a Billboard or BBC Radio No 1 Single? Will she become a fashion designer or win a Best Actress Oscar? Or, will she play for England’s football team? 

Only time will tell. But, you can always make a wager on what you think will happen!
