英國全民打賭:誰爲準王妃凱特做嫁衣

Since Prince William announced his engagement to Kate Middleton, the subject of her wedding dress has been a hot topic. Will it be Brazilian-born Issa designer Daniella Helayel? Or perhaps classic bridal label Phillipa Lepley?

自從威廉王子宣佈他與凱特米德爾頓(Kate Middleton)訂婚後，有關凱特婚紗的話題就沸沸揚揚。設計師會是巴西后裔Daniella Helayel，還是經典婚紗品牌Phillipa Lepley？

Now bookmakers have received the strongest indication yet that a designer for the gown has been chosen。

目前，有明確跡象顯示禮服的設計師已經確定了。

Paddy Power has received so many wagers on Bruce Oldfield to design the Royal wedding dress, it has suspended betting。

博彩公司Paddy Power已經收到很多對Bruce Oldfield設計皇家禮服的下注，目前該公司已經停止了投注。

A spokesman from the bookmaker told this morning that it was no point taking bets when all the interest was in one person, and hinted that the surge in interest could be the result of a leak。

該公司發言人今天上午透露，在所有下注都看好一個人的時候，繼續接受投注就沒有意義了。他同事暗示說這可能是因爲消息泄露造成的。

'We suspended betting on November 26,' he said. 'We were receiving one-way traffic for Bruce Oldfield and there is no point in taking bets when all the interest is in one person。

“我們在11月26日早上停止了投注”他說，“我們接受的全是對Bruce Oldfield的下注，這樣的話繼續接受投注就沒有意義了”
