Prop Bets...Royal Wedding Edition

I know there is a royal wedding board, but wanted to get your reactions to these...I was thinking about how the royal wedding is going to be as big/bigger than the superbowl in terms of coverage, which led me to believe some serious prop bets were taking place.  Lo and behold after some google searching, here we have it:

It is amazing what people will put money on.  What is the most ridiculous/your favorite bet in the list?  Do you have any bets you would like to make (non monetary of course :))

  • What is a prop bet?
  • I bet I'll care even less about this wedding tomorrow than I do today.
  • Bets on the different things happening during and after the wedding. They are listed on that link.
    Hat color of the Queen, who will cry, when their first child will be born, etc.

  • It usually in terms of a sporting event is a bet on something that has nothing to do with a score/who wins or loses...like for the superbowl some examples are: will the coin toss be heads or tales, what is the over/under on the length it takes the singer to sing the national anthem, what kind of outfit the halftime act will wear, etc.

    In this case, it is pretty much anything having to do with things that aren't pre-determined or known by the public...usually pretty silly

  • Ah...That's why FI asked me what color hat the queen would be wearing...

    :)  I haven't really kept up on any of the Royal Wedding-ish things except I saw an article scrolling on yahoo about "Will Kate Middleton wear a tiara?" which led me to looking up the prop bets

  • You know I met a really nice lady on a fligh from Bristol to Edinburgh.  She said during Ladies Day at Ascot, there is more money bet on what color the queen will wear than all the races, combined. 
  • Where is the Royal Wedding Board?
