Online sportsbooks Bovada.lv (American bettors) and Bodog.ca (Canadian bettors) have released a wide variety of odds relating to Prince William and Kate Middleton’s first child. That’s right you can now bet how the royal family will take shape in the coming years. This is a pretty ridiculous thing to bet on, but that makes it all the more fun. Kate is reportedly about 12 weeks pregnant so your bets will likely have about 6 months before they either win or lose. Let’s take a look at some of the odds:
