A mother-to-be stands to win £1,600 on a bet that predicts her baby will be born on the same day as hers and her husband’s birthday.

Faye Colquhoun and husband Gregor both from Scotland, were given the due date of August 10th, but placed a bet of £100 at 15-1 that their baby would be born late.

The new parents will win the payout if their baby born on Friday August 15th – which is the date of their birthdays.

Faye said that she has never put a bet on before in her life. But every time she told someone she hoped that the baby would have the same birthday as theirs.
