Skybet were offering a special of 12/1 on this happening. Seems to have gone now, but you can get (amongst others) a double of Johnson and Raab to be unseated at 10/1 or a double of Swinson and Farron at 6/1.

John Lambies Doos Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Tory majority was 1/4 3 hrs ago, now 3/10. The Boris Johnson photo incident will cost the Torys a majority 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im_Rodger Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Odds for Lanark and Hamilton East started at roughly 5/1. Now 5/2 and from what I’ve heard it’s still a very kind price.I’ve put a small £5 on it but for some reason Bet365 don’t allow doubles trebles etc...I’m sure it’s because of a betting rule but I’ve forgotten what it’s called. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure it’s because of a betting rule but I’ve forgotten what it’s called. My guess is that it's because the results aren't independent of each other. Albion Rovers beating Brechin has nothing to do with Cove beating Queen's Park. But one party winning seat X against the odds means it's much more likely that they'd win similar seats against the odds. Multiply the odds across those seats and it would quickly become carnage for the bookies. So if the betting inferred Tories on 325 seats and you put a 10 seat accumulator on target seats 326 to 335, and the Tories ended up on 345, which is only 1-2% of the vote more, they would likely win all 10 - and you'd own Betfair. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another bad night for her last night, I'd imagine it'll be one of their most heavily bet upon seats. Still showing her as 2/5 with bet365 on Oddschecker, so we'll see if there's a major movement coming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im_Rodger Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Odds have shortened again for the Conservatives in Lanark and Hamilton East. 7/4 now. Source = Oddschecker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Odds have shortened again for the Conservatives in Lanark and Hamilton East. 7/4 now. Source = Oddschecker. They'll be miniscule amounts going on this - you, for example, putting just one bet on the Tory candidate will almost certainly force the odds in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 It really is quite something that the Tories look poised to gain a working class seat in West-Central Scotland. Unthinkable even 4 years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that Rodger's fiver has changed the price here. It's more likely that the bookies have adjusted prices across some of the marginals after the opinion polls last night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBC and a couple of other polling organisations have it down as Dunbartonshire East for some reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
