Will Hill 2007 Specials
What odds could you have got that during 2006 an MP would team up with a Cheeky Girl, the Deputy Prime Minister would be criticised for playing croquet, England would hand back the Ashes without a struggle and Keith Richard would fall out of a palm tree? Bookmakers William Hill traditionally quote odds about each forthcoming year and reckon that during 2007 it is an odds-on shot that another sporting personality will win Strictly Come Dancing, 4/7 that Tony Blair steps down in May; an Even money chance that Wayne Rooney will wed, 5/2 that we discover Lord Voldermort has bumped off Harry Potter, just 3/1 that Madonna will file for divorce; 5/1 that the Queen will abdicate and 40/1 that John Prescott runs off with 'the other' Cheeky Girl.
