William Hill have been forced to slash the price of a White Christmas in every city that they bet on, following a massive November gamble
Hills already have a six figure liability, which is all but certain to rise to seven figures in the coming weeks. Aberdeen is the favourite at 11/4, Newcastle cut from 6/1 to 3/1, whilst London is 11/2 from 6/1. The biggest wager yesterday was a £750 bet from a weather forecaster called Piers Corbyn, who thinks snow in Leeds, Newcastle & Norwich is a certainty!
“We have been snowed under by White Christmas bets and the run into Christmas is going to be a nerve racking experience,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.
