I don't gamble personally, but the odds interest me.

You can get 7:1 on no overall majority at the moment
Or about 40:1 on a Tory majority.

It's interesting that 48% of bets are on a tory majority,

Might be amusing to see how things change over the next few weeks?

Most bets are on a Tory majority because you get almost nothing back from a Labour majority.

There was someone who tried to model the US election on betting markets and it implied that Trump had a 3% chance of winning Hawaii, which was obviously far too high.
