I am being thick - He puts on £200k and gets back this amount and the £44k profit.

the other guy who placed smaller bets stands to get back a lot more, proportionately - more than 100%?

Buying money.

It will be a major shock if the bet doesn't prevail but you never know the women Labour vote could win the day if they love that van!

I am surprised that the Bookies would offer such odds, so close to the election. Its hardly rocket science is it, to suspect that there will be a hung Parliament of some kind !

Support Mikey on that. Not a betting person, but it seems fairly obvious.

[tonyav]

mikey, the bookies have cut the odds to 1/5 now since that £200,000 bet !.

[agchristie]

We mustn't forget the idiom 'a week is a long time in politics' and you never know, some major event could be so badly handled that a clear winner may emerge...

(Don't wager on this logic though ;-) )

[mikey4444]

Tinyav....to ruddy late for me then !

[mikey4444]

For tiny, read tony !

[tonyav]

You'll have to find something else to bet your £200,000 on then, mikey ;-)

[SirOracle]

How many seats will Labour lose in Scotland in May. Put your £200,000 on that bet Mikey. +30 ? :-)
