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.

Red Nose Day

Red nose day is fast approaching, with brilliantly entertaining shows all ready hitting our screens to raise money for the event, including the so far fantastic and hilarious Bake-Off for Red nose day, which has yet to disappoint. As with every year the red noses are out on the streets, however unlike previous years this time there are a total of nine noses to collect, including a possible golden prize winning nose, and also unlike last year and to some people great irritation the noses are bagged, making it a complete gamble as to which one you'll get and making it even harder to collect them all. As of last year the Red Nose day group have released a selection for other exciting red nose day products, including, my personal favorite, a red nose day teapot! However do not get too excited, although most of this years Red Nose day products are available for purchase from the red nose website, others have been distributed to particular stores and are only available from the...

Scorrail introduces no smoking regulations

Have you heard? Scotrail has rolled out no-smoking regulations on all of there platforms! Surely this is something to rejoice amongst all of the terrible things that have happened this year, especially recently. However, I cannot help but be very sceptical of this new arrangement. In England the no smoking rule has been rolled out across all stations for years, showcased by brightly coloured signs up and down platforms warning of possible fines for smokers. Though a reasonable idea the result is not pleasant. When at an open-air, small train station down in England, though there are in fact no smokers on the platforms, they are even more unavoidable than before. Now unable to smoke on the station, they gather in hives at the gate entrance, a spot where the regulation dose not stretch and where they can still see and run for their trains at the last minute. This collective of smoking individuals is something any person seeking to board a train at the same station must pus...
