Ladbrokes have gone against the traditional norms of laying out odds on purely the winning team, in an intriguing attempt to stimulate trade in the depths of the recession the follwing bets have been made available:
1. Player with the largest nose as voted by three of the local barmaids in the drinking establishments of Tenby:
- Ben Williams 7 - 4 favourite
- Matt Miller 2 - 1
2. Player most likely to hit the biggest and best 6 iron of their lives in the 1st round of matches:
- Pet Bumwell 3 - 4 favourite
Any other player can be found at 500 - 1
3. Player to hit the shortest drive off the 1st tee on the 1st morning:
- Matt Miller 5 - 3 favourite
- Pet Bumwell evens
- Mattkinson 3 - 1
- Nick Brooker 4 - 1
4. The most attractive and well dressed team:
- Team Nottingham - refused to take any bets as they are such dead set winners
Any other team can be found at 5,000 - 1
5. Player most likely to throw the first hissy fit on the course:
- Nick Brooker 2-1 favourite
- Si Porter 4-1
- Pet Bumwell 9-2
- Mattkinson 9-2
As an aside, ladbrokes have also laid out odds on the overall winners and they obviously fancy the team that everyone else appears to mock... Team Nottingham have been installed as 1 - 1,000 favourites, with team Liverpool second favourites at 7-3. Team Birmingham have slightly longer odds than expected but with Nick Brooker appearing to be over confident and Ben 'the Jellyfish' Williams out of form, not many would fancy a flutter on them at 9 - 1. No surprises that Team manchester have been installed as ran outsiders, it appears they are expected to go from hero's to zero's within a year. They have been issued with odds of 10,000 - 1 and every member of the public that puts a bet on them receives a free lollipop to incentivise bidding.
Happy betting peeps!!!
