Election Predict 2011

Betfair Punters go West in last GE11 Battle

PUNTERS on Betfair are relishing the last constituency battle of the General Election 2011, with the Betfair market the only option for those looking to bet 'in-play' on what is fast becoming a fraught and tense count. As it stands, the Betfair market makes Fine Gael's Sean Kyne the marginal favourite at 1/2 to claim the last spot in the 31st Dail, with Independent candidate Catherine Connolly trading at 6/4.

In what has been a record breaking Election in terms of market offerings and volume of trade on Betfair, the politically astute customers of the world's biggest betting community are continuing to back their opinion to the very last declaration in Galway West.
Betfair Spokesman Barry Orr commented today: ''This seat is going down to the wire and only the shortest of short heads currently separate the two protagonists but the market is indicating Sean Kyne will pip Ms Connolly in the shadow of the post. Regardless of any further twists or turns in store, Betfair will be on hand to offer punters in-play betting on it until the final result is known.''
