The outspoken Tory claimed Betfair is ‘uncanny in its accuracy' and urged readers to watch the betting rather than the opinion polls.
Betfair spokesman Mike Robb said: “It's great to hear Bojo backing Betfair and its role as a source of predictions. However, there's no doubt the gap is narrowing in the betting as well as the polls, whatever Boris may think.”
“So that the Mayor can back up what he says we will place any bet of his choice up to £1,000 on the election, with all proceeds going to a charity of his choosing.”
