Fancy a bet on baby?
Irish bookmaker Paddy Power has launched a series of bets on the new royal baby, including the favored baby names.
Favorite baby names in the odds are Frances and John at 9/1, with Charles, Victoria and George following behind at 10/1
Diana has been given odds of 12/1 -- one can imagine Charles and Camilla’s faces if that is the choice.
No odds on the baby being called Camilla either...hmm.
I guess it won’t be Moon Unit or Track or Trig like Sarah Palin’s.
King Track or Princess Trig doesn’t sound right.
Amazingly, the odds of it being a boy or girl are even money—no bets on transgender.
Even the color hair is up for betting. Brown is favorite at 6/4 -- place four dollars to win six, blonde is 2/1, black 5/2 and red like Prince Harry 8/1.
What if it is sandy or too close to call on whether it is brown or black? Well, never mind.
Day of the week the baby is born? You can have 6/1 on guessing that.

Godparents are also open to betting. Prince Harry is even money for the Godfather role, while divine behind Pippa is favorite for the role of the Godmother. No odds on Camilla for ugly step grandmother.
The Daily Telegraph's lead story today “Could it be twins?” Paddy Power puts the odds at 8/1 for that. Triplets are 100/1. And quads or more? 500/1.
No odds on how long Kate’s morning sickness will go on though.

Seems this child is starting in somewhat of a murky cloud of court proceedings and yet the embryo if Closer are to be believed isn't but 3 months old already we have had rumours of dispute and the body language of Middleton on leaving the hospital really stank of disgust and loathing I also wonder how the child will be called perhaps Jacinta would be an appropriate name or may John after the hosptial administrator who didn't 'critise' the nurse with the problems the hospital seem to be leading w the southpaw and hoping to stymie any suggestion that they cut strips from the poor sould both for two days before he death and after her death with false testimony on their goodness. That a child be born amidst such polemic and that the conception could be construed as invasiàon of privacy I contest that bile juices created by all concerned place a bet on this outcome as a win win situation for P Power . His insider information may not be as sure as the Queen mother's but I can assure the punters that some poor sod working with these Royals will be looking at the end of a scarf and wondering if its really worth it Adieu

Sparklet: They will appreciate your good wishes, but bet your bottom 'Diana' will NOT be there. - To begin with; The next Queen(Camilla,remember.) wouldn't like it!

I hope if it's a girl, the name Diana is in there somewhere. Best of luck to them. They're decent human beings.

What are the odds on a black baby?

While we are on the subject of odd's from Paddy Power any chance Irish Central might mention that Direct Democracy Ireland is now 75/1 to win the most seats in the 2016 or next general election!

Frank. ...can't blame you for this bit of harmless fun as poor Catherine lies on her hospital bed. Lets hope the Lord Carrickfergus will forgive your jibes when he remembers this was posted on the day tha Union Flag was removed from Belfast City Hall where it has flown since 1902. Don't waken a sleeping giant, Frank! ~~~~ Well said, Paradigm.

What a tasteless article. Isn't it about time that Irish Central correspondents ameliorated their hateful Nationalist bigotry - even the IRA has begun to come to terms with reality
