2010 GENERAL ELECTION LATEST ODDS AND PREDICTIONS

The latest odds from Paddy Power on today’s General Election are out and we have seen them drop a number of markets from their betting platform. The overall seat betting is no longer available, but you can still get your bets down on a number of exciting markets with the popular Irish bookmaker.

The Conservatives are still holding steady at a very slim 1/20 to win the most seats while Labour trades at 7/1 (I predicted they would rise to 8/1, but the price seems to be holding). Nick Clegg’s Lib Dems odds are a lengthy 40/1- still significantly shorter than their odds were before the debate when they traded at 200/1.
The odds on a hung parliament remain short with 8/15 being the current trading price. A Conservative majority is still a possibility at 11/8 with a Labour Majority trading at 33/1 and a Lib Dem majority at 100/1.
David Cameron trades at 1/10 to be the Prime Minister after the general election with Gordon Brown trading at 11/2. Should Nick Clegg somehow be appointed Prime Minister, you’ll be getting paid out at an 18/1 price.
As it currently stands, Houghton and Sunderland South are considered the heavy favourites to be the first constituency to declare with a 1/4 price tag. Sunderland Central are at 5/1 while Washington and Sunderland West trade at 6/1. Wrexham to declare first is at 11/1 while Foyle can be backed at a 14/1 price. Birmingham Ladywood trades at 16/1.
Westmoreland & Lonsdale is looking like the solid favourite to declare last with a 2/5 price tag. Devon West & Torridge is at 3/1 while Morecambe & Lunesdale is at 8/1. Lancaster & Fleetwood trade alongside Argyll & Bute at 10/1.
Gordon Brown is favoured to concede after 3 pm tomorrow, but this is a very competitive market with the favoured selection paying 11/8. Between 12:00 pm and 3:00 pm tomorrow pays out at 5/2 while 9:01 am- 12 noon pays out at 11/4. There is a slim chance that he could concede between midnight and 3 am- you’ll find that priced at 7/2.
