Boylesports releases UK General Election 2015 market breakdown

pollingWith the UK General Election voting day less than a month away, bookmaker Boylesports has published in-depth data into their General Election betting markets. At present it appears that the Conservative Party have the upper as they head the betting at 2/5 to win the most seats. Labour Party are next at 7/4 with UKIP and Liberal Democrat’s all but out of the running for the most seats at 66/1 and 500/1 respectively.

The UK Government could be set for a Labour minority after the election with BoyleSports making it the 2/1 favourite. A Conservative-Lib Dem coalition is the shortest priced coalition at 6/1.  Any other coalition has been backed in from 14/1 to 8/1 of recent and is currently the most popular bet in the market.

The Overall majority market has been the most tremulous with nervous movement in recent weeks. No Overall Majority is now as short as 1/6 having been initially installed at 11/10. A Conservative Majority (11/2) and a Labour Majority opened in the betting neck and neck at 2/1 and 9/4 respectively, however a Labour Majority has lost a lot of support and subsequently drifted out to the outsider at 11/1.

SNP are red hot at 1/20 to dominate in Scotland and win the most seats whereas it is the Conservative party who again top the betting for the most seats, this time in England, at 1/7.

The percentage of voter turnover is expected to reach 65.01-70% with BoyleSports offering 6/4. 70.01% or more is next in the betting at 15/8, with 60% or less on offer at 10/1.

Aoife Heffron, PR Executive at BoyleSports, commented “Punters seem to have made up their mind and have been backing the Conservative Party to win the most seats in the upcoming UK Election to no end. At 2/5 it is currently the biggest liability and we suspect that it could get even shorter in the run up to the election.”

“A Labour minority to be the next UK Government may be the favourite at 2/1 but the support is firmly there for any other coalition to take the reins having been backed in from 14/1 to 8/1 and one of the top bets with punters of recent.”
