White Christmas UK Odds – Novelty Betting

Will Christmas be a Beast from the East or Wet from the West?

Novelty Betting & Other Events Betting

After a record-breaking summer of heatwaves and high temperatures, who can confidently predict that the British weather won’t swing to the other end of the spectrum this Christmas?

A White Christmas, like that in 2010 which saw appreciable snow fall at 83 per cent of the weather stations across the country, is an extremely unusual occurrence in the majority of the UK. But weather patterns are changing, sea levels are rising and glaciers are melting in the Arctic and Antarctic. Winter, of course, doesn’t officially begin until December 21 but forecasters are predicting that the aftermath of El Nino will bring extremely cold temperatures from Europe into contact with warmer and wetter winds from the Atlantic to bring snow to several parts of the country over the Festive period.

white-christmas-ukProbably not another Beast From The East but maybe enough encouragement for those who like to dream of a White Christmas to back up their wishes with a small bet. As always, there are a multitude of geographical points around the UK on which to focus your bet, with Scotland’s cities naturally the shortest in the market to suffer under a blanket (or whatever the minimum snowfall required to win a bet is) of the white stuff. All relevant measurements take place at airports on Christmas Day itself.

If you’re ho, ho, hoping for snow in Glasgow, you can avail yourself of the general 5/2. Aberdeen is the same odds and Belfast is 7/2 with Betfred who offer 5/1 for their local airport, Manchester, to experience a snowy holiday. Birmingham is a best 6/1, the same as London’s Heathrow.

Edinburgh 11/4
Belfast 7/2
Dublin, Liverpool and Manchester 5/1
Leeds 11/2
Birmingham and London Heathrow 6/1
Cardiff 8/1
