There were 6 of us, including my friend who is getting married today. She was checking out her competition. Champagne, scones, and tiaras at 3:00 a.m. :)

We should have know that the 0-3 on the kiss and over 1.75 billion were locks. I know y'all don't care, but that was a beautiful wedding. Kate looked awesome.

ESPN 1100 here in Vegas just quoted a number of these odds and thanking Pregame.com. Check out www.WeRLV.com - good afternoon show with a sports betting angle.

LC- I agree with your assessment. But, I wouldn't want any decent amount of money sitting that long either.

I'm betting 5000-1 that Queen Elizabeth shows up to the wedding wearing a New York Jets helmet.

I am NOT letting my money sit this long but kid born AFTER 1/1/13 looks good to me. With them being a "new age" couple and William involved in all that charity work I'd be surprised if she was prego before April of next year
