Winning The White Christmas Wars
By http://www.card-game-poker.com/

Betting on a white Christmas is a holiday tradition in the UK, this novelty betting option is one of the oldest and most cherished holiday tradition in betting. Bookmakers have been offering odds on Christmas snow over the major metropolitan cities of the UK for decades.

This market has always produced a flurry of activity as the season draws closer, punters usually watch weather reports and even use unconventional methods of snow forecasting to determine if the wager is viable or not. Regardless of if snow falls or not Christmas snow is carefully monitored by the Met Office, the definition of an official white Christmas is the observation at one of the many observation sites of a "single" flake of snow, snow mixed with rain is also considered for this wager to be successful.

For 2008 a record number of bets were registered when an early snowfall throughout the United Kingdom in early December spurned punters into action. Christmas snowfalls haven't been seen often and this wagering option has been considered a dying option, but with the heavy action in 2008 we can be sure that the option will be available again in 2009.

When placing a wager on Christmas snow there are a

few things to consider:

• A snow flake, sleet, or a snow grain must be officially declared fallen by the Met Office in the postcode of the betting area within the twenty four hours period of Christmas
• Any portion of an area that is over two hundred and fifty meters above sea level doesn't count
• Lying snow, hail or ice pellets do not count unless they have fallen from the sky during the period
• The British weather services is the final arbitrator for this wager and will have final say.

While Betting on Christmas snow seems to be an easy wager to win especially considering British winters, it's very difficult to determine let alone predict the weather with enough certainty to determine a good price on this market, punters should also look at this wager as an entertainment option instead of a money maker.
