    May will likely still get her majority, but taking a bet on that at 25/1 on is ludicrous, and shows a significant lack of understanding of the recent volatility of British politics. No doubt when the Tories win the better in question will feel vindicated with his £400 to wave around - it won't change the fact that this was a dumb bet to take, with a poor understanding of the actual odds.
    Yeah, but I spend more on champagne and pies in a month, so it's horses for courses isn't it.

        MF will have an exciting election night ... as long as he hasn't told the wife.

        Otherwise, it'll be the dog-house for a month.
