Placing Bets On 2017 UK General Election

With the General Election on June 8th quickly approaching, political betting website BetOnPolitics.co.uk is offering readers live odds on all 650 constituencies.

In the past few years political betting has become bis business. One firm alone took £3million on the last UK General Election, and £5million on last year's US Election. Unsurprisingly the bookmakers "anticipate huge bettering interest" on the 2017 snap election.

Betting on a range of election markets, including voter turnout and odds for all 650 constituencies, updated in real time, will be live on betonpolitics.co.uk/category/constituency/ in the run-up to June 8th.

Phil Loew, ediotr of the BetOnPolitics website, said; "As well as providing the very latest pre-election news, we'll also be working hard to inform our readers about the best odds available on various political markets.

"Polls and Election betting markets may suggest that Prime Minister Theresa May is going to win the election with a large majority, but political punters will still be expecting twists and turns in the coming weeks, as well as looking at the battles in the marginals sear, and we'll be covering it all, with live betting updates on the election itself from 7am right through to the polls closing at 10pm."

Although betting is unadvised, websites such as BetOnPolitics are providing a clearer view of public opinion the upcoming election than most polls.

Extra Measures To Protect Scotland's Golden Eagles

Almost a third of golden eagles being tracked by satellite died in suspicious circumstance, scientists have found. The Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) research identified that the majority of cases were found where land is intensively managed for driven grouse shooting. Environment Secretary, Roseanna Cunningham, confirmed to the Scottish Parliament she will now set up an expert group to look at managing grouse moors sustainably and within the law. Following a request by the Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform Committee the group will also advise on the option of licensing grouse shooting businesses. The report studied the movements of 131 young golden eagles over a 12 year period, and found more than 40 had disappeared in suspicious circumstances. It also found there was no link between fitting satellite tags and the disappearance of the birds of prey and ruled out any connection with the position of wind turbines. In response M...
