A WHOPPING £1million (1,741,563.73 USD) could be riding on a single flake of snow falling this Christmas.
Bookies are reporting more bets than ever on festive- season snowfalls. William Hill have already taken £100,000 and say punters will stake out £1million by Christmas Eve.
Their biggest single bet so far is a £1000 wager on snow in Aberdeen - placed by a punter in Perth, Australia.
Spokesman Rupert Adams said: “Forecasts of a cold winter have stirred interest. We reckon over £1 million will be gambled industry-wide.”
To win, one flake of snow will have to fall on a Met office station on December 25. The betting is 4/1 Aberdeen and Glasgow, 6/1
