Will the London Mayor set his wild hair on fire with the Olympic torch?

(Boris Johnson)

Will the London Mayor Boris Johnson accidentally set his wild hair on fire with the Olympic torch is one of the most popular bets currently in the Britain.

Only couple of days ago, the quota was 66/1, but Johnson, in the meantime, to ensure the British capital looks its best for the Olympic Games on Friday, had his familiar mop chopped this week, so it changed its odds to 100-1.

- In his statement for Reuters, one of the London bookmakers said it was less likely to catch fire now that he had neater haircut.

Neither Johnson`s office nor the Olympic organizing committee would be drawn on whether the mayor is actually scheduled to carry the torch during the London 2012 opening ceremony despite the bet was on.
