On the eve of a new year, leading bookmaker Coral has unveiled its range of special bets for 2015, including 8/1 that Prince Harry gets engaged in the next twelve months, 4/1 the Queen abdicates the throne, and 2/1 that William and Kate have twins. Away from the Royal family, Coral go 8/1 that there are two general elections in 2015, 5/4 that Ed Miliband is replaced as Labour leader, and 6/5 that David Cameron’s reign as Conservative leader comes to an end, while it’s 6/1 that the UK has the wettest year on record, but 10/1 that the temperature exceeds 100F next summer. In the world of celebrity it’s evens that Cheryl Fernandez-Versini announces she is pregnant, while George Clooney and his wife Amal are 6/5 to break the same news, while it’s far more unlikely odds – 10,000/1 to be exact – that Russell Brand becomes Prime Minister! Finally, on a sporting theme, it’s 1/2 that Wayne Rooney breaks Sir Bobby Charlton’s England goalscoring record, 7/4 that Andy Murray can win another tennis Major, while golfer Rory McIlroy is odds on at 5/6 to add to his Major tally in 2015. “Twelve months ago we offered odds of 3/1 that Cheryl Cole would get married in 2014, and 4/6 that William and Kate would announce they were expecting their second child, among some of the fun bets to mark the last new year, and we’ll be watching with interest how 2015 goes for far-sighted punters,” said Coral’s David Stevens.
