Hung Parliament Odds And General Election Betting
Friday 30 April 2010 at 15:21
 After The Third and Final General Election Debate there have been some small changes in the outright General Election Odds . The Conservatives have cemented their lead in the polls and are now 1/9 with Paddy Power to win most seats. This looks a certainty unless the Conservatives suffer a bigot moment in the final week of campaigning.
How Many Seats Betting.
The interesting market that has betting value is how many seats each party will get, the bookmakers have a huge range of different seat parameters enabling you to back a predicted spread of seats. The Conservatives need 325 seats to win an overall majority and become the new government. As of today it does not look as if David Cameron will get this number of seats. They ares 5/2 with Ladbrokes to get between 325-349 and 5/2 with Blue Square to get between 300 and 324. Coral have 275- 299 seats at 9/2. You have the option to back two seat outcomes and make a profit at current prices. If the Conservatives do not get a majority of seats the UK will get a hung parliament, yes we will get a hung parliament is on offer at 4/7 with Totesport and VC Bet, no we won't get a hung parliament can be supported at 11/10 with SkyBet.
Labour in Third Place Even With Tony Blair.
Labour are now 13/2 with Bet 365 to win most seats, only a dyed red in the wool supporter would think this is a possible outcome and Gordon Brown look like a politician who will be spending more time with his family in 2010. The last throw of the Labour dice seems to be the reappearance in the campaign of Tony Blair. Labour look likely to lose a huge range of seats throughout Britain. 150- 200 seats is 13/8 and 201-250 seats is 6/5 both with Paddy Power.
Clegg And The Liberal Party.
Can the Liberals push the Labour party into third place, at current prices they are still the outsiders to win most seats at a best price of 29.0 with Betfair. The bookies have the Liberals performing strongly and increasing their overall amount of seats in the Houses Of Parliament, 80-89 seats is 7/2 with Ladbrokes, 90-99 is 4/1 with Ladbrokes, 100 + seats can be backed at 6/4 with VC Bet.
Total seats betting is the value option for all punters in the 2010 General Election To check all the seats odds from all the different bookmakers and to find your favoured bet click one or more of the bookmakers above, it is very worthwhile comparing the prices on offer. Paddy Power and Ladbrokes should be your first port of call.
