UK General Election 2015 Betting Tips for all Odds Markets

04/05/2015 11:15

the uk general election takes place on thursday 7th may 2015 and though it promises to be one of the most exciting in a generation, if you want to ramp up the thrill just a little more why not have a bet on the outcome? you can bet on the outright winner of the election in terms of the number of seats, the make-up of a possible coalition government and, indeed, who will be the uk prime minister after the dust has settled.

we have the latest betting odds for all these markets and more from the best bookies in the business and our odds comparison tool helps you quickly discern which firm is offering the best value for a given outcome. with our predictions and betting tips giving you a helping hand when selecting your bets, we think there is every chance you could turn a healthy profit as the politicians and pundits wax lyrical about the implications of the election results right through the night.

the conservatives and labour are deemed to be neck and neck in most serious polls, on about 33% apiece, while ukip are polling at 18%, the liberal democrats at about 8% and the greens hovering around the 5% mark. potentially though it is the rise of the snp in scotland that could really rock the boat in the election and, all things considered, we believe a hung parliament with labour just scraping the most seats looks the most likely outcome. what happens after that is anyone’s guess!

prime minister after general election betting tips

the 2015 uk general election is almost upon us and as a nation decides which man they want to be their prime minister for the next five years, we bring you the latest betting tips, predictions and odds comparison for this very interesting betting market. so will it be david cameron, ed miliband or – if something really weird happens – someone else crowned pm after the election?

just a few short months ago few would have predicted that labour’s ed miliband would have what it takes to become the uk prime minister after the general election on 7th may. but after performing solidly in the tv debates and outlining a number of policies that are sure to be popular with the middle- and lower-income voters both we and the bookies feel he is in a strong position to land the top job. he is currently priced at best betting odds of just 2/3 with bet365 to be the prime minister after the election, and though it is unlikely he will lead his side to an overall majority, we predict ed will get the votes he needs to form a minority government or a coalition.

current pm david cameron is out at betting odds of 11/8 with betvictor, and there is the very real sense amongst political pundits that the tories are losing their way a little in the campaign. they had not reckoned on miliband raising his game and they have been caught on the hop somewhat. of course, things might go belly up for both parties and there is an outside chance that someone else might become prime minister (available at 28/1 with betvictor) but realistically, for us, backing ed to be pm makes the most sense.

next government betting odds

betting on the 2015 uk general election could add that little bit of extra fun to what is already sizing up to be one of the most enthralling political contests in decades. david cameron’s conservatives and ed miliband’s labour party have been inseparable in the polls for weeks, and the rise of the snp in scotland and ukip in england promises to throw a spanner in the works for those who predicted a straightforward outcome. here we make our predictions and give you our betting tips for what the next uk government will look like after the election, with the latest betting odds comparison to ensure you get the best prices.

there is an increasing feeling amongst political pundits and journalists that ed miliband – formerly derided as a lightweight who had little chance of leading his party to victory – has begun to win the british public over. at least south of the border. had there been no snp rise, chances are labour would have been able to win a majority at the election, but as it is the bookies’ favourite outcome for the next uk government is for a labour minority government, currently available at best betting odds of 8/5 with sportingbet.

given that ed miliband has ruled out the prospect of a coalition with the snp, the favourite option looks like a solid choice. but we have a hunch that – despite slipping in the polls – the lib dems might not be completely out of the picture. as such, if labour need a few extra seats in order to form a government, they might well form a coalition with a depleted liberal democrat party, which is our main betting tip here at very nice odds of 9/1 with bet365.

most seats betting tips

the 2015 uk general election will be one of the most exciting political races in the uk for a long, long time and is also certain to be the one on which the most bets are placed. this election you can bet on just about every possible market imaginable and here we take a look at the outright betting for which party will win the most seats.

in one sense betting on the party that will win the most seats is a little like predicting who will win the election and is quite simply, as the name implies, an outright winner bet on which party will win the most seats. of course, due to the intricacies and idiosyncrasies of the first past the post majority system, that party may not do enough to become the government, or even play a role in leadership, so it may well be a case of winning the battle but losing the war.

whilst predicting who the next pm will be, or what the make-up of the next government might be, seems quite tricky, offering up our betting tip for which party will win the most seats is more straightforward.

leading the way in the betting odds are the conservatives at around 1/3, whilst ed miliband’s labour are priced at 9/4. with ukip next at 1000/1 it’s clear the men making the odds see the race to win the most seats as one between just two horses and few would disagree. whilst there is an off chance that scottish support for the snp may fail to materialise due to a dislike of the conservatives, we don’t see it. therefore, with the snp taking most of labour’s seats north of the border our betting tip is to back the conservatives in the “most seats" outright betting, even at the short odds quoted.
