The BC Lottery Corporation (BCLC) is offering a ‘sports novelty pool’ on the upcoming British royal baby. Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are expecting their first child this spring. They got married in May 2018.
Bets include the baby’s name and gender, date and time of birth, birthweight, and who the godparents will be.
Odds on the name Diana for a girl are low (it’s a likely pick). That name would honour Harry’s mother the late Princess Diana. Diana’s middle name was Frances. The bet multiplier for Diana is 4, but higher at 20 for Frances. Arthur, James and Edward are popular picks for a boy’s name.
Popular bets for godparents are Jessica and Ben Mulroney (Canadian), Prince William and Kate (royal), and George and Amal Clooney (international).
This pool is likely to draw in people who don’t normally bet online. Good revenues for BCLC. Here’s where to place your bets: https://www.playnow.com/sports/other-sports/novelty/royal-specials
