Yip, you read it here first folks (probably not, but it would be really nice if you did) - top land and online bookmaker William Hill will pay you out if a UFO is spotted hovering above the Olympic Stadium in London during the opening ceremony this Friday (July 27).

You would, of course, first have to take the bet William Hill is currently offering on its website in order to be paid out. But if you laid out say $100, you'd be rewarded with a whopping $10,000 in return thanks to the UFO bet's generous 100/1 odds!

But whether or not you'd have time to spend it is another thing entirely, because who knows what the intention of said UFO would be? I'd like to think they'd come in peace. The question is would we respond peacefully? Probably if the UFO landed in Jamaica. Not so much if it landed in Syria or North Korea.

100% Genuine Crazy UFO Bet at William Hill

Anyhoo, I'm pleased to report that this crazy but 100% genuine UFO bet is available right now at William Hill online, along three other pretty amusing prop bets for the 2012 Olympic Games.

Over and above the 'are we really the only life in the universe' inspired UFO bet at William Hill, you can also wager on if the Olympic flame will go out when being carried by last person (10/1 odds), if the Spice Girls will undergo a wardrobe malfunction while performing at the opening (10/1 odds), and if the men's 100m final will be delayed due to a runner being stuck in heavy London traffic (100/1 odds).

Now, while those are by far the zaniest Olympic Games prop bets on offer at William Hill, it's not the only sports betting operator that has been 'sipping on the Olympic cool aid' if you get my drift. According to reports, many other weird and wonderful Olympic prop bets have been popping up on various other sportsbooks.

Will 2012 London Olympics be Over Budget?

These include whether or not the 2012 London Olympics will be over budget (yes, of course it will be), if the Olympic athletes will run out of condoms during the games (could happen), if London Mayer Boris Johnson will set his hair alight with the Olympic torch (now that would be funny), and if someone will get a picture of a British athlete chowing down on a Big Mac (thanks for that, now I'm craving McDonalds).

It goes without saying that William Hill, as well as all other reputable sportsbooks, are having a laugh with these fun bets, because the real betting is reserved for the many 2012 Olympic betting lines each has to offer on regular Olympics events, of which there are 302 across 26 different sports.
