Oddsmakers: Royal Baby is George


Proving you can bet on anything, oddsmakers in Britain have calculated the probability of the Royal Baby’s name. “George” seems to be leading the pack.

Oddsmakers also bet on the following for the baby:

• First Overseas Visit: Canada.

• First Word: PaPa.

• Location of Christening: Buckingham Palace Music Room.

• Career: Art.

And more. Thankfully, no “age at which the royal progeny becomes enmeshed in first tabloid scandal,” and surprisingly no bets on whether the heir to the throne will actually take the throne.
