With Phillip Hammond set to reveal his first budget on Wednesday, we have priced up various specials for the landmark event for Great Britain.
They include taking a leaf out of Prime Minister Theresa May’s book and wearing a tartan suit (25/1), losing the budget box (80/1), and painting it blue (500/1).
Other markets include what phrases he’ll use, with ‘Brexit’ virtually guaranteed at 1/100. ‘Theresa May holds my hand, too’ is slightly less likely at 500/1.

Asked ahead of the Budget for his thoughts spokesperson Paddy Power said: “Will Phillip properly Hamm it up with a Theresa May-style tartan suit?
“Either way, it’s pretty much a guarantee that he’ll mention Brexit – and Donald Trump is bound to gate-crash yet another event. Though the concept of a budget might bend his mind.”
