29/1 odds on Susan Hall - worth a punt!

[jamesbrown]

Results coming in, Hall getting smashed everywhere so far

Looks like a ~5% swing to Labour, and Khan is a massive flop.

[sreed]

Fair enough. Well it’s over. Quite surprised how comfortably Khan trounced Hall in Merton & Wandsworth! Looking at the other borough numbers coming in it looks like he’s outperforming Labour? I’ve no idea at this point, should stop listening to pundits.

Tactical voting at its best.

Oh dear. Forget the tenner, but are you saying the 3 diesel rangies that I bought on the cheap yesterday might not make me any money?!

Jokes aside, I’ve no idea of how election counts work but I’d guess that once counting starts then punters are competing with inside/leaked info, probably. So no more betting from me, I’ll just let the tenner run.

Exit polls work by asking people at selected poll stations who they voted for.

Counts are more complex.

Susan Hall has won her first London mayoral constituency with Bexley and Bromley.
The results were:

Susan Hall – 111,216
Sadiq Khan – 48,952


Added to say why didn't they put the Tory MP of one of those areas up as the mayoral candidate?
