A BRITISH bookmaker has suspended betting on the 2013 birth of a royal heir, as odds tumble amid a surge in wagers.
Following a visit by Prince William and wife Catherine to Cambridge, where the couple displayed "broody" behaviour, punters went into a frenzy, Britain's Daily Star newspaper reported.
"We saw numerous bets for a royal new arrival throughout the Jubilee ... but the betting went through the roof again this week," betting agency Coral spokesman David Stevens told the tabloid.
"We cut the odds 1-4 and then again to 1-8, at which point we decided to suspend the betting."
During Wednesday's visit to the city from which the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge take their title, William was thrilled to receive from a wellwisher a home-made baby jumpsuit emblazoned with the words "Daddy's little co-pilot".

Royal Air Force helicopter pilot William, 30, gladly accepted the gift, saying: "I'll keep that."
Meanwhile Catherine's new haircut, labelled as "mature" by royal watchers, has columnists debating if the future queen consort is readying herself for motherhood.
Betting agency Ladbrokes have cut their odds on 30-year-old Catherine giving birth in 2013 to 1-5, with twins at 33-1.
Punters can place money on a wide range of elements relating to much-anticipated Cambridge first-born, including name, birth date, gender, even hair colour.
Agency William Hill is offering 8-1 odds on the child being a ginger like William's brother, Prince Harry.
