Ladbrokes have now put a new market up on the next cabinet exit following the departure today of Chris Huhne.
It is important to note that if more than one minister went on the same day, as could be the case with a re-shuffle, then the dead heat rules would apply. If I am reading this correctly then if, say, three went on the same day your winnings would be a third of the odds you bet at. You stakes would be returned intact.
Other bookies might do this differently.
So where’s the value. Who is next in line to go?
