Punters Tip Royal Baby Name & First Words


Boy George! – Punters Tip Royal Baby Name & First Words

It’s a boy! Finally, the royal baby is here, but the fun is only getting started as punters with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au continue to speculate on what the latest royal will be named!

With confirmation it is a boy, George has come in from $9.00 into $2.80 favouritism and has been the best backed option of the boys names.

James has been the next best backed and sits on the second line of betting at $3.50 ahead of regal names including Alexander ($9.00), Louis ($12), Phillip, Henry and Arthur (all $13).

If they plan on keeping the name in the family, Charles and William are both priced at $34.

While betting on the royal baby’s name has been the most popular, sportsbet.com.au has also opened several more novelty markets including when he will be joined by a brother or sister, when he will visit Australia and even what his first words will be!

Papa ($2.50) and Mama ($2.70) are the most popular choices to be his first words. Pippa ($12), Harry ($15) and Queen ($26) are all noteable inclusions, while Where is one’s soother ($126) and Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious ($270) look to be long shots!

It doesn’t look likely that the royal baby will be visiting Australia any time soon, priced at $1.20 to come Down Under by July 2014 or after.

But it looks like he may not have to wait too long to have someone to play with, with $2.00 priced for Kate to have her second child in 2014 and 2015.

“The baby is finally here but there is still plenty to speculate about! Betting on the royal baby’s name has been one of our most popular novelty markets we have had and we are tipping that will continue now he is actually here, with George the clear favourite with punters” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
