What are the odds?

If you’re thinking of putting your money where your political mouth is, you might be interested in the latest video from Labrokes.

The bookmaker reports that the candidate they’ve seen the most money for in the General Election betting is Fianna Fáil’s Micháel Martin.

The party leader has been popular across a number of markets, which has seen his price to be the next Taoiseach tumble from 14/1 in January to just 9/2, and he is now odds-on at 5/6 to be the next Tanaiste, having been backed from 7/4.

A weakening wager is for another Fine Gael – Labour coalition, which has been pushed way out in the betting to 6/1, from 9/4. In contrast, a Fine Gael – Fianna Fáil government has been a very popular punt, shortening to 8/11 from 13/8.

Not only have they prepared the stats, they’ve also prepared a little video to keep the public entertained in the last days of a short but intense campaign trail.
