Must be an absolute cert. No one could possibly be dumb enough to place a bet like that if there was even a remote chance it could go the other way.
Unless.......they'd maybe had a misplaced childhood and they were now clutching at straws....When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply..... -

He will be clutching at something, more likely to be an appendage rather than a straw.

The trend may not be your friend.
You can now lay a Con majority at betfair for 1.26. You never see a bookie on a bus .....My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.Comment

I certainly was happy to bet on Macron at 10/1 on (once he had made the second round vs Le Pen). Now that was a sure thing, and the odds came close to reflecting it.
May will likely still get her majority, but taking a bet on that at 25/1 on is ludicrous, and shows a significant lack of understanding of the recent volatility of British politics. No doubt when the Tories win the better in question will feel vindicated with his £400 to wave around - it won't change the fact that this was a dumb bet to take, with a poor understanding of the actual odds.Comment
