King Charles Viewing Figures Odds
Here at BoyleSports we are offering odds on King Charles Coronation Specials with several markets available to bettors including UK TV Viewing Figures.
The upcoming Coronation of King Charles comes 70 years after the coronation of the late Queen Elizabeth II a time when many were buying televisions for the first time.
The Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II on June 2nd, 1953 was the first royal service to be televised with more than 20 million people watching the coronation on the BBC which was the first time a TV audience outnumbered a radio audience. It goes without saying that viewing options and TV coverage for watching the coronation of King Charles will be far more exhaustive.
The most likely UK TV viewing total for the Coronation of King Charles is between 18-20 million with that being priced up at 6/4. The next most likely to be the total viewership is 21-23 million which is priced up at 7/4 by our odds makers.
Some of the most interesting bets for this market come in at the longer odds. If you think that the general public’s interest in the British monarch is very low these days then you might fancy a punt on the UK TV viewing total coming in at under 15 million which can be bet at odds of 10/1.
Alternatively, if you think that King Charles’ Coronation will draw massive viewership given that it is the first time in 70 years that British people have seen a coronation, and that most Brits have never seen a coronation, then you can back the UK TV viewing figures to come in at over 27 million at long odds of 20/1.
