    Gambler loses £70,000 betting on a Tory majority, believing election to be ‘unlosable’

    William Hill said in total it took around £20m in bets on the general election, the majority of it backing the Tories

    Not many people can lay claim to having had a worse Thursday night than Theresa May, but the gambler who placed a £70,000 bet on a Tory majority is certainly a contender.

    William Hill took the wager from an unnamed punter shortly after the Conservatives crushed Labour in May’s local elections. The person was one of many who apparently believed the upcoming general election to be “unlosable”, the bookmaker said.

    The Prime Minister was riding high with a seemingly unassailable double-digit lead over Jeremy Corbyn in the polls and the only question on pundits’ minds seemed to be, "how big will the landslide be?"

      "one punter from London will be breathing a sigh of relief after backing the Conservatives to win the most seats to the tune of £200,000.”"

        Being MF is one thing. However appointing him to be a mod is way more stupid....
