LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - JUNE 15: (EMBARGOED FOR PUBLICATION IN UK NEWSPAPERS UNTIL 48 HOURS AFTER CREATE DATE AND TIME) Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge stands on the balcony of Buckingham Palace during the annual Trooping the Colour Ceremony on June 15, 2013 in London, England.

Will The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge welcome two new additions to the Royal Family next spring?

If a recent spike in bets on Kate Middleton and Prince William's second child are correct, then yes!

"We have had a load of unexpected bets including a large number of new accounts—there could well be something in this," Rupert Adams, a spokesman for betting firm William Hill told PEOPLE.

The firm says it has received approximately 200 bets on the arrival of twins, including what a spokesman calls "a significant gamble" that was made in York, England.

Adams explained betting was finally halted when a series of new accounts were opened – including one from someone who offered a $325 bet, which is more than 20 times the average bet in this kind of novelty market.

Bets placed at the firm also show a majority of people believe Kate and Wills will name their new child Elizabeth if she is a girl and James if the baby is another boy.

Whether the couple welcomes a boy, girl or even twins, we will be eagerly awaiting the arrival of 1-year-old Prince George's new sibling!
