Prices slashed on a White Christmas

Bookmakers around the United Kingdom have slashed prices on betting for a White Christmas for the third day running. With the majority of the UK covered in snow many people thought they would use the weather try and spice up Christmas with some extra dollars in their back pocket.

However, bookies were wise to the situation and the attention being given in the media to a White Christmas, and the majority of bookmakers slashed the odds on us seeing a snowy Dec 25th to some of the lowest recored for years. William Hill, Paddy Power and Ladbrokes are all now offering odds as low as 2/1 for snow in cities including London, Manchester and Birmingham.

But even with such measly odds, if we do get snow on Christmas morning the bookies are expected to lose in excess of £500,000
