Tis the royal welding, er wedding today. Besides the endless coverage, and everyone trying desperately to tie their product or service to it, there are also massively silly bets on offer. All the bookmakers are trying to come up with even more silly bets.

It starts out moderately sensible. Will it rain?

Then you get "what colour will the Queen's hat be"?

Then you get really silly:
Prince Philip to be seen asleep during the wedding service (10/1)

The Archbishop of Canterbury to say 'In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy GOAT' during the service (100/1)

Which couple will be seen at the Royal Wedding first on live BBC coverage? chas n dave (100/1)

William & Kate's baby to be a Vogue Cover model before 18 years old (33/1)

Meal at reception to be KFC or Burger King (100/1)

Honeymoon plane to be supplied by easyjet (200/1)

************
Sadly I am a gambling man. So I've placed a few modest bets.... This time tomorrow I could be slightly poorer unless.....

Kate wears a white dress (88p riding on this).
Queenie to wear an apricot hat (£1)
Queenie to wear a blue hat (£1, ma ma's choice)
Huw Edwards (tv presenter) to say "St Andrews" first (£1.17)

Results to follow....

***************
ADDITIONAL! 10:15am.
I'm winning so far....

Huw did say "st andrews" which nets £2.93
Victoria Beckscum is wearing blue, so that's another £8.00

Still waiting on Queenie, and putting up with the mindless tv coverage....

The dead man's hand holds Aces and Eights

Ok, so Wild Bill Hickok was playing 5 card draw when killed with that hand.

I however, am a) still alive and b) was playing pot limit omaha.

I also lost out in the below pimped blogger poker tournament. Top 153 get the prizes, and I came 203 out of 1600 entrants. Not too shoddy, given I'm not a huge omaha fan. And there's still tournaments to play the rest of the week for no cost.

So as the lottery used to say before they got banned for false advertising "It could be you".
