Placing Bets On 2017 UK General Election

By
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.

Scotland's Response To 'Critical' Terror Threat Level

By
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said that the people of Scotland must not allow terrorism to triumph and should go about their business as usual.
