We all know that the UK is a gambling country, and the Royal Wedding seems to have brought out this characteristic in citizens across the country. Many online sportsbetting websites are offering players from the UK the chance to bet on various aspects of the big day. While typical odds include Kate Dress Designer and the First Wedding Dance, there are some other, more depressing, options available.
One of the most shocking odds offers players to bet on whether or not Kate will stand up William at the altar. While this would make for a scandalous situation, right out of a romantic comedy movie, it is highly unlikely that this would happen. Many are wondering why the option was even offered, but on the off chance he is left at the altar, the payout is a hefty 100 to 1.
Another interesting offer gives players the chance to bet on the possibility of the couple still being married on their 10th anniversary. The outlook seems to be a bit more dismal, as the option of yes pays out 1 to 20 while the option of no pays out 8 to 1.
Small mishaps are also up for grabs. Players can wager on whether or not the car will break down on the way to the Abbey and if Prince Harry will be too drunk to finish his best man’s speech.
