The money on the S Shields by-election is going on Ukip beating the Tories. Ladbrokes have 8/11 on them coming 2nd with 5/4 for CON.

My “won’t lose” combo bets
I got Ukip at 25/1 with PaddyPower when it first opened and the evens from Ladbrokes that the party would conme in 2nd place.
The Lib Dems are not in contention here, will put in minimal resources, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see a lost deposit.
My reading is that CON voters will be more inclined to switch to Ukip if the blue cause looks hopeless.
