Boris Johnson 100/1 to light Olympic flame

Boris Johnson is 100/1 to light the London 2012 Olympic flame
Boris Johnson is 100/1 with Ladbrokes to light the flame at the Olympic Games opening ceremony in 100 days time.

As we reach a landmark point in the games countdown, the firm have priced up a series of 100/1 specials and offer the same odds that whoever ends up as Mayor resigns during the games. 

It's 100/1 the eventual Mayor is pushed into a swimming pool or river and on a global scale those odds are relevant should the Syian team be banned or Kim Jong-Um attends the games in any capacity. 

Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes told Bettingpro: 

"Punters love a long shot. Whilst Bojo looks nailed on to win the election it will take a brave man to back him for torch duty."

He added: "If Ken pushes him in the pool we'll have to pay out."
