Help!

I will make a good profit on the 'no overall majority' probably whatever happens as I can trade it in, but what to do about the prime minister after the election?

I have got a huge position but what actually happens. If theresa does not resign tonight does that mean that she is the prime minister tomorrow? Or whatever? I have tried to get the cash out figure up but it is not working.

Senior Tories have now crunched their own numbers, and are convinced the exit poll is wrong. "It simply just doesn’t add up" #GE2017

Can someone please send me a link to the betfair politics page? or any market on the exchange?

By:

annie. When: 08 Jun 17 23:14

Thanks, tobermory.

So it does not matter that she might be prime minister in the next few days so long as when it is decided she is not prime minister.?

I backed loads of her opponents at huge prices, for small money. David Davies at 705/1 , now trading at 24/1 !!

Kellner had exit poll out by 5% in Newcastle, 7% in the Sunderland seat if I heard him correctly.

seems a lot...

Was the same last election, that's why I consider Con still getting overall majority value

Both look good results for Tories.

Newcastle full of students, and the increase in the Labour vote there much bigger than in non-student Sunderland.

Could it be that the exit pollsters asked too many of the yoof voters, and the Labour increase is going to be wasted in the constituencies they would have held anyway?

Big looking Swing to Cons from Lab at Sunderland.

The UKIP/Brexit voters appear to have chosen Conservative there.

Markets saying Cons Majority, but way too early to say. Tread carefully with any bets.

By:

tobermory When: 08 Jun 17 23:21

The exit poll has targeted the marginals and is intended to project seat results so shouldn't be counting wasted votes.

Though as said that Sunderland result seems not encouraging for Labour.

By:

tobermory When: 08 Jun 17 23:22

Sunderland was a swing from UKIP to Tory , they won't have got anything from Labour.

you'd hope and think those conducting the polls would have to ask respondents their age and generate a sample that reflects the age split amongst the electorate...

if that's not the case, I despair.

Wish I'd done the same bets .I actually posted last week that a Tory win that was not enough for May to continue as PM was a likely outcome.

Hmmm , so they have gained nothing from Labour but will be win 50 more seats than last time ?

By:

Hamsterdam When: 08 Jun 17 23:35

Doesn't the North East always throw up skewed results due to the highest postal vote though? This is why they are always first to declare.
