VAT ODDS-ON TO RISE IN BUDGET

WILLIAM HILL are offering odds of 1/7 that VAT will go up in the Budget - and 4/1 that it stays as it is. 'All the indications are that VAT is certain to go up - and the betting reflects that' said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe.
AND HILLS BELIEVE THAT GEORGE OSBORNE WILL SPEAK FOR 51-55 minutes as he delivers the Budget, making that a 7/2 chance - and offering 4/6 that he stops at least once for a drink, 11/10 that he goes straight through without a sip.
HOW LONG WILL BUDGET LAST?....Under 41m - 8/1; 41-45- 7/1; 46-50 - 6/1; 51-55- 7/2; 56-60 - 4/1; 61-65 - 5/1; 66-70 5/1; 71-75 8/1; 76 or over - 16/1.

WHAT COLOUR TIE WILL OSBORNE WEAR?...2/1 Blue; 4/1 Green; 6/1 Pink; 6/1 Red; 8/1 Purple; 12/1 Yellow; 16/1 Black; 16/1 Orange; 16/1 Yellow.
