October 14th, 2008 – UFOs – Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is

Bookies are bracing for big payouts if UFOs appear tomorrow as predicted by Blossom Goodchild.
Bookies William Hill have cut the price from 1000/1 to 100/1 that George Bush or Gordon Brown will confirm the current existence of intelligent extra-terrestrial life within the next year.
Rumour is Blossom Goodchild’s niece Rebecca Simpson has placed £100 and her step daughter Kelly Mosedale wagering £50 with other bets coming in up to £1,000.

“We are slightly nervous but hopeful that Blossom is proved incorrect. We will be keeping our eyes on the skies over the next twenty four hours.” said William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams.

“We have always been apprehensive of space based bets ever since we paid out the equivalent of millions when Neil Armstrong landed on the Moon in 1969.”
