Punters are channelling their anticipation over the birth of royal baby number two into the books, as speculation over his/her name turns into a million dollar game.

As the due date for royal baby number two inches closer, punters are taking to the books to bet on the name, and exactly when she/he will be born.

Betters could cost bookmakers around 500 000 pounds ($1 million AUD+) if royal baby two is named “Alice”.

The odds at the moment are at 5/4, followed by Elizabeth and Charlotte – both sitting at 6/1.

One punter from Edinburgh has placed almost $4000 on the second royal baby being a princess.

“If the money talks, then the royal baby will be a seven-pound Princess named Alice, born sometime in the morning,” Coral’s Nicola McGeady told the Daily Mail.
