Silly bets.

[MattyH]

A topic for discussing some of the weird and wonderful bets that we see. A couple of examples from Paddy Power...

Odds on the Loch Ness Monster being discovered before 2020 - 250/1

Odds on when Alien existence will be proven..

So here is the place to post them and have a laugh!

I remember one silly bet from the 2012 Opening Ceremony for the Olympics. William Hill (my site of choice) had odds of 33 to 1 for Boris Johnson's hair to catch on fire during the ceremony - I was so tempted to pop a quid or two on it for a laugh.

I find things like Big Ben being unable to chime due to being frozen solid, and the Thames to free solid (I know it happened centuries ago) quite amusing.

TBH with Boris it was a real possibility.
