Ladbrokes have a couple of majority related markets. When it comes to the first market on if any party will win a majority, this isn’t a market I am plan to play at the moment. It is possible for a party to win a majority on circa 25% of the vote. I think it might be better to play the Betfair markets on the individual parties and whether they will win a majority and trade in and out accordingly. If…
Ladbrokes have put up a market on who will win the most seats at next year’s Holyrood election and it is a stunning achievement for the the SNP to be the 1/6 favourites when by the time of next year’s election they will have been in power for 19 (nineteen) years. I cannot see Sir Keir Starmer repeating his Malleus Scotnatorum performance from last year’s general election which is down to the performance of his government, I do not expect…
Over the next couple of weeks we’re making some behind-the-scenes changes to [Politicalbetting’s plumbing. The short version: we’re moving the site behind Cloudflare, the world’s most widely used network for keeping websites fast, reliable, and resilient when people make outrageous claims about the benefits of pineapple on pizza.

The wife of the Doctor dancing and winning is currently around 16/1. Harry Aikines-Aryeetey…
Ladbrokes have finally put up a market on which party will win the most seats at next year’s Senedd election. The polling currently indicates Reform are on course to win most seats but I think the value might be on Labour at 5/1 if there’s any swingback to the governing party, it might also be a good petri dish to see if there’s any tactical voting against Reform, although Plaid Cymru might also benefit from that too. It is entirely…
I am of the view elections will always be determined by the economy so this trend should worry Labour, it’s not good for them or the country that the difficulty in getting a job is heading towards pandemic levels. TSE
