Tartan Dave Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Took this request a bet on sky bet. Anyone got anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Might go quite large on this. Could be wishful thinking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky_ffc Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Potentially better odds elsewhere, but 10/11 for the SNP to get 48+ is tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Brilliant Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 After the momentum (small m) of referendum fever dying down i think SNP's turnout will be down. Sadly tories are most likely to get out and do it, and Scottish Labour are still embarrassing. So maybe as an insurance policy against crippling depression i'll back the baddies for Overs seats in Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Saw this request a bet and it seemed to make sense to me, so backed it. Time will tell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O-Bizzle Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Going big on the Lib Dems doing badly. Under ten seats in currently hovering around 3.2 on Betfair exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Dave Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 Thrown a wee fiver on this also so I have an interest UK wide. Hope I'm wrong though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Stuck a chunk on Theresa May to be the PM at 1.16. Would be totally happy to lose it, but just can't see a way in which the mad evil cow isn't the PM at the end of this whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bernardblack Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Snp under 46 seats is 5/6. Tempted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Snp under 46 seats is 5/6. Tempted That's what I went for, just to cover the disappointment. Ideally they'll get 45 with labour picking up a couple in Scotland too (bet wins and Tories make very little headway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be totally happy to lose it, but just can't see a way in which the mad evil cow isn't the PM at the end of this whole thing. Traded out of this for a mammoth £1.30 profit. Mainly because I wanted access to the funds, but also because it's looking slightly more likely that she'll be pushed before she can actually assume office again. Political betting has been a minefield for the past few years. The independence referendum was the last one that was spot on, where No was heavily favoured, and obviously ended up being the outcome. Since then all the predictions (and therefore the odds) have been way off: - 2015 General Election was supposed to be an even split between Cameron and Miliband before Labour got absolutely pumped - EU referendum, where Remain was heavy favourite but lost out to Leave - 2016 Scottish Parliament elections, where the SNP took nearly every single constituency seat when they weren't expected to do anything like that - US Presidential election where Trump won despite Hillary being as short as 1.03/1.04 at some points And now this shit where the Tories were expected to skoosh it before shitting the bed. Time to start laying the favourite in these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
