Bookmakers heat up the betting table on Britain's royal baby

London - Punters are placing all manner of wacky bets on Britain's second royal baby, chancing their cash on everything from the name of the new prince or princess to who gets their congratulations tweet in first.

With the baby due any day now, bookmakers are taking wagers on whether Prince William or his wife Kate will carry it out of the hospital, and whether their first-born, toddler Prince George, will join them on the maternity ward steps.
