Betting odds shorten on Claire Wright becoming next East Devon MP

Zorro is not someone who normally has a flutter at the bookies. At best it is a few quid on long odds horses at the Grand National, or maybe the odd team in the World Cup. Certainly Zorro has never previous placed a bet on a general election outcome.

But this coming general election, and in particular the battle for the East Devon seat did grab Zorro’s interest some months ago. With Mrs Zorro’s support a bet was placed at Ladbrokes that Claire Wright http://www.claire-wright.org/ would win. At the time we were pleased to receive the odds that we did but felt that they undervalued the reality of the local political scene.

Many of you will recall that when Claire Wright last summer announced her intention to stand for parliament Ladbrokes gave her odds of 66/1. Since then we have seen Ladbrokes give Claire Wright odds of 33/1, then 25/1 and excitingly 12/1. Now immediately after she launched her election manifesto the odds have shortened again down to 10/1!

Zorro is not an efficienado of the betting world but nonetheless 10/1 still seems a remarkably good set of odds. As we edge closer to election day we are bound to see the odds for Claire Wright shorten. So, if you are thinking about having a flutter on her get tour money on sooner than later as the odds must surely come down. Interestingly odds on Hugo Swire have lengthed!

Hat tip to East Devon Watch http://eastdevonwatch.org/ for this brief guide to placing an on line bet with Ladbrokes

“Should you fancy a bet (but, of course, bet responsibly and be over 18) Ladbrokes Online do not make it easy to place one!

First you need to go to the A-Z of betting headings and choose Politics, then General Election and then General Election Constituencies. At this point they make it even harder: in the A-Z of constituencies our district comes under D for Devon East and not E for East Devon!”

Ladbrokes certainly don’t make it easy to place a non sporting online bet! If you have local Labrokes betting office it may be easier just to pop in to place a bet.

  2. Wow the picks are almost a sweep. I've also seen similar predictions on one sports betting website named dafabet. I've done the parlay and so far snatched 6k bucks from the bookmaker. i'm not fond of believing with fixtures especially if it's exposed on the internet. Mostly, I logged in to forum websites and ask people there. They knew much than any publication.
