Should you be taking the Hills’ 2-1 hung parliament bet?
Surely there’s a greater chance than this of it happening?
Following the PB survey earlier in the week on the likely outcome of the general election I’ve been combing through the bookie sites trying to find the best bet on a hung parliament
And the most attractive price is the 2/1 from William Hills against “no overall majority” which means the same thing. Other bookies and Betfair have much tighter prices.
With a likely strong showing for the SNP in Scotland and Lib Dem incumbents being notoriously sticky it’s hard to make a case for any other outcome. Like Betfair punters, who make this a 1.64/1 shot I currently have this as the most likely outcome.
My only reservation is that I’m not convinced about locking up money this far out.
