Will we have (another) white X'mas this year?
I suspect that this year the odds won't be quite so generous, but if you had £5 going spare what would you do? 1.) Bet on a white one - and what would be your chosen location - I believe that the bookies take bets on all locations and not just London 2.) Bet against a white one I suspect that I would go for a white one and probably choose somewhere east coast south of the humber |

Haytor is a good bet at 3-1 I'd say! Will -- |

I believe the historical odds over the last century, or so, are about 14/1. Hence: don't go near those odds with a bargepole! |
