Spread-betting markets move to Labour
As we predicted last night the ICM poll has resulted in a sharp move back to Labour on the spread-betting markets. The spread bookmakers have marked the party up and marked the Tories and Lib Dems down.
There’s been almost no movement, however, on the Spreadfair spread betting exchange where prices respond to what individual punters put up not on what the bookmaker decides.
IG Index – LAB 353-358 (+3): CON 197-202 (-2): LD 66-69 (-2)
Spreadfair – LAB 350 -350.9: CON 201-203.7: LD 68.7 -69
IG’s “size of majority” market is now showing 60-70 seats (+8).
With the conventional bookies the best you can now get on Labour winning most seats is 1/12.
