ALL BETS OFF ON MEGHAN TWINS
Twin bets suspended
BOOKIES have suspended betting on Meghan Markle having TWINS.
Paddy Power made the move after a number of “big money” wagers on the Duchess giving birth to a pair of babies.
This will be twice as nice!
BOOKIES have halted betting on Meghan Markle having twins.
Paddy Power have stopped taking punts after a series of “big money” wagers.
The bookmaker reckons someone “in the know” could be trying to cash in.
Odds were slashed from 5/1 to odds-on on Friday night after a flurry of high stakes – and the market was later suspended after more money piled on.
Spokesman Paddy Power said: “We had to suspend betting. We saw an almost identical pattern of betting before the announcements of the couple’s engagement and pregnancy.”
Speculation has been rife since Kensington Palace released a statement confirming Meghan, 37, and Prince Harry, 34, were expecting.
The Duchess will give birth in the spring.
According to the NHS, women who get pregnant after the age of 35 have more chance of carrying non-identical twins.
Helen Turner of the Twins and Multiple Births Association said: “Women in their late 30s and early 40s are more likely to hyper-ovulate.”
Likely names are Diana at 8/1 and Arthur at 12/1… so perhaps the couple could get to use both.
