FRIDAY the 13th will prove to be unlucky for some when the results of the UK General Election are announced.
The prices for the overall majority are as follows: Conservative Majority 2/5, No Overall Majority 5/2, Labour Majority 33/1 (Unibet), Liberal Democrat Majority 750/1 (Boylesports).
Bet365 have preferred an ‘any other party majority’ approach (at 300/1) so it does not matter whether the winning party is Lib Dems, Greens or even the Monster Raving Loony Party.
The ‘Most Seats’ market is much more one-sided; 1/20 Conservative (Betvictor), 16/1 Labour (Unibet) and 500/1 bar.
‘Government after the Next General Election’ odds are Conservative Majority 2/5 (Betway), Labour Minority 6/1 (Skybet), Conservative Minority 14/1 (Paddy Power), Labour/Scottish National Party Coalition 16/1 (Ladbrokes), Labour/Lib Dem/SNP Coalition 28/1 (Ladbrokes), Labour Majority 28/1 (Unibet), Conservative/Brexit Party Coalition 40/1 (Skybet) and it is 50/1 and upwards any other alternative.
The SNP are expected to keep their seat in the Dunfermline and West Fife constituency; being a best price 1/7 (Skybet). Labour are 13/2 (Unibet), Conservative 14/1, Liberal Democrat 100/1 (Paddy Power) and Green Party 500/1 (Bet365).
Other popular markets include Turnout percentage: 65-70 is 13/8 (Ladbrokes), 60-64.99 11/4 (Paddy Power), 70-74.99 4/1, Under 60 per cent 7/1 (Betway); Over 75 per cent 14/1 (Betfred).
The Over/Under Markets for each of the main parties total seats won are Conservative Over 340.5 5/6 (Bet365/Skybet) Under 344.5 4/5 (Betway); Labour Over 218.5 8/15 (Betway) Under 228.5 5/6 (Skybet); Lib Dem Over 17.5 Evens (Betway) Under 17.5 5/6 (Bet365/Skybet); SNP Over 43.5 5/6 (Skybet); Under 44.5 17/20 (Betway).
