Bookmakers offer political specials with Marcus Rashford now 50/1 to move from football to becoming an MP
Manchester United and England forward Marcus Rashford now features in a new betting market from UK Betting Sites that looks at various specials around UK Politics.
Rashford has used his platform as a footballer to campaign against homelessness and child hunger across the country and was awarded an MBE thanks to his food poverty campaign for free school meals.
The footballer wrote an open letter to the UK Government back in June 2020 to try and end child poverty across the UK with support during the COVID-19 Pandemic bringing awareness to his causes even more.
William Hill now say there's 50/1 chance that Rashford moves from Football to becoming an MP before 2050 with a number of different betting options available in their UK Politics Specials market.
| UK Politics Specials | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Liberal Democrats to Win Over 25 Seats in Next General Election | 1/10 | 90.9% |
| Labour to win 30 or more seats in Scotland at the next General Election | 4/6 | 60.0% |
| SNP to Win Under 20 Seats in Next General Election | 8/11 | 57.9% |
| UK to be an EU Member State Before 2026 | 50/1 | 2.0% |

What the expert says...
Further Politics specials include UK to rejoin the EU before 2026
More specials are included in the UK Politics market from William Hill with odds also given for the UK to rejoin the EU at some point before 2026.
The UK voted to leave the European Union back in 2016 with the so called Brexit phenomenon taking nearly four years to eventually see it go through.
Theresa May triggered Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty which gave the UK two years to agree an exit deal but ultimately it took longer than that after she resigned in July 2019 to be replaced by Boris Johnson.
The latest betting odds say there's just a 2% chance that the UK rejoins the European Union before 2026 which would be six years since they left.
