Bookmakers Open Markets on Zuckerberg’s First Baby


Despite the surprise wedding preventing betting markets on Mark Zuckerberg’s wedding, bookies have been quick to open up bets on the newlyweds first baby.


Whilst there has been no announcement from the newlywed Mr and Mrs Zuckerberg, bookmakers
have been quick to open betting markets on the name of their first baby. This is of course
completely normal, whenever bookmakers hear of a forthcoming celebrity marriage they very
quickly open markets on every aspect of the couples’ wedding, from the designer of the dress to the
honeymoon destination. .

However, this time there was no such opportunity as the marriage came as a surprise for everyone.
Even the guests didn’t know that they’d been invited for a wedding but instead thought they were
going to celebrate Priscilla’s qualification as a paediatrician. Nonetheless bookies quickly got their
act together and opened a new betting market on their first born baby.


The Irish bookmaker and sports betting giant, Paddy Power, have odds of 9/2 on the name Elliot
(Zuckerberg’s second name) if the baby is a boy, otherwise odds of 8/1 for the name Karen if it’s a
baby girl. There are a number of other options as well including from Edward (8/1), Noah (18/1),
Eduardo (100/1) and many many more.

In the past, a few online odds makers have offered bets as to the next CEO of Facebook and when
they will hit billions of users. Perhaps the personal side of Zuckerberg is a better bet.

For those who generally enjoy betting on celebrity weddings there are many other opportunities at
Paddy Power. You can bet on Katie Price’s wedding to Leondro Panna, on markets such as how long
it will last, the colour of her dress and where they will go for their honeymoon.

Another wedding people have their eyes on is between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Here markets
include the dress designer, the bride’s hair, the colour of Brad’s tie, the honeymoon, the wedding
location and even whether Jennifer Aniston will attend.

Speaking of Jolie and Pitt, the Los Angeles Times recently reported rumours that the hot couple
finally tied the knot and got married on Christmas Day, just over a week ago. Spokespeople from
both sides aren’t talking. You can be sure that the Paparazzi are working the story.

Head over to Paddy Power today and take advantage of some of these slightly unusual, but
thoroughly enjoyable markets.
