Will Punxsutawney Phil see his shadow?
Betting on whether groundhog Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow on Groundhog
Day tomorrow - February 2 - is an American tradition that several online casinos
have picked up on in recent years.
The folklore surrounding this betting event, which dates back to the late 1800s
is that if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow there will be six more long weeks
of winter, but if he does not then there will be an early spring.
Since 1887 the records show that Phil has seen his own shadow on 95 occasions
out of 118, and these statistics inform bettors on the current year's event.
