weekevie04 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Anyone put on a few bets? Was planning on having a few punts later on tonight, but going by Ladbrokes and Bet365, it seems you cannot put on an accumulator. Is it forbidden by all bookmakers to put on a constituency accum, or just those two, and if it is not, does anyone recommend a bookie that allows accumulators? There could be some value in a few strong Labour areas keeping their seats - e.g SNP 4/7 in Coatbridge with Labour 5/4. Of course I hope the SNP win it, but Clarke got 67% of the vote in 2010. There will be a mighty swing to the SNP, but will it be enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiefaetheferry Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Cheeky 20 at 5/2 on SNP 51 or more. Now at 5/6 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weekevie04 Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 I've decided to mostly avoid Scotland. Don't want any jinxing, and have no idea how it'll go. Although backed the hardest SNP seat. Mostly 3,4 or £5 singles on the following. Labour 11/10 to win Bradford West - Galloway's seat. SNP 4/1 to win Orkney & Shetland - sending 72 year old Danus Skene to Westminister. UKIP 6/4 to hold Rochester & Stroud - Tories seem to be favourite after Reckless won/held the By-Election in November for UKIP. UKIP 4/5 to win Thanet South - Farage to win due to his high profile. I still think UKIP will at most get 4/5 seats. Conservative 5/6 to win Cheadle - neck and neck with the Libs. Conservative 5/6 to win North Cornwall - according to Ashcroft's polling, the Libs are struggling in their Cornwall/Devon strongholds. UUP 2/1 to win Fermanagh and Foyle - only 4 votes seperated Sinn Fein and the Independent/Unionist candidate in 2010. DUP have given UUP a free go at this. Labour 6/5 to win Finchely and Golders Green - might be ticht. Labour 4/5 to win Ipswich. Labour 6/4 to win Sheffield Hallam - Clegg's seat. He's behind in both recent polls, but Torys may well do a East Renfrewshire and vote to keep him in and the Lab candidate out. Hoping for a Portillo moment this year. May well put a few others on regards numbers over/under, but Plaid under 3.5 looks pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Blackheart Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 My mate is in Sheffield Hallam and says "everyone down the pub" is voting labour to get Clegg out. That's probably about 3 people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
