Political Betting

Well, since I missed out on what may ultimately prove to be the greatest bargain in the history of mankind, the RBS share price at 11p, I thought I would turn to Political Betting in order to make it big.

The potential success of this venture is wide open to criticism and/or acclaim so feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments section.

Here are the bets that will make me rich: (Or would have made me rich if I'd had the courage to place more than a couple of quid on each of them!)


£2 on the Tories winning 7 or more seats in Scotland at 3/1

£2 on the Tories winning Edinburgh South West at 9/4

£2 on the Tories winning Edinburgh South at 6/4

£2 on the year of the next election being 2009 at 9/2

£2 on the month of the next election being June 2009 at 16/1

£2 on the next leader of the Labour party being Alan Johnson

£3 on SNP winning Dunfermline, West & Fife at 7/1


What do you think? £15 down the drain or a path to riches?

Personally I think I will at least break even but I would say that. ANd before anyone asks, thisd website will not be changing its name to Tory Tactical Voting. I just couldn't say no to such good odds!

If you'd asked me this time last year, I would have agreed with the June 4th 2009 General Election, but now I'm really not sure. I don't think he'll do it - I think it'll be May 2010.

Jeff,

If you had put all of those on a £15 no limit accumulator, and they all came in, you could have banked £459,270 if you take Alan Johnson's latest odds of 6/1.

Somehow, breaking even is the realistic option.
