PlayNow is offering unique bets on the birth location of B.C.'s first baby of 2025 and the most popular baby names for the year. The BC Women's Hospital is the favorite for the birth location, while Olivia leads the girl names and Noah and Oliver top the boy names.
PlayNow is offering bets on the birth hospital of B.C.’s New Year’s baby and the most popular baby names of 2025. The odds of Kelowna General Hospital (KGH) delivering the first baby of 2025 are 20.00, which means a potential payout of $200 on a $10 bet. With 23 labour and delivery hospitals in the running, B.C. Women’s Hospital in Vancouver is the betting favourite at 3.50. A $10 bet could return $35. However, the hospital hasn’t welcomed the first baby of the year since 2017.
Last year’s first baby was delivered at Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster, which is listed at 12.00 this year. Bets on the birth hospital will close at 6 a.m. on Dec. 31, 2024. PlayNow is also taking wagers on 2025’s most popular baby names in B.C., with Olivia (3.00) leading the list of girl names for another year. Emma and Sophia (6.00) and Charlotte (8.00) are other contenders, while newcomers like Amelia, Ava, and Isla (10.00) are gaining popularity. For boy names, Noah and Oliver (4.00) remain favourites, but Liam and Theodore (5.00) are close. Jack and Lucas (10.00) and Ethan and Leo (12.00) are potential frontrunners. Bets on baby names will remain open until Jan. 31, 2025. PlayNow encourages players to use tools like time and money limits to gamble responsibly, for more resources visit the GameSense website
