You wonder why they didn't stop taking bets before it got so high. Bots could have made a few quid as this thread was made on the day most of the bets were

It's a form of insider trading effectively, it happens plenty (dog racing is rife with it for example). I also remember an incident when you could bet on the colour of the Queen's hat for a certain event, and it turned out one of the people involved in the Royal Fashion Department or whatever had leaked details of said hat to some friends and there had been a flurry of large bets.

They'll just end up limiting how much can be bet on these sorts of political events, or limiting the timeframe (up to 6 months in advance, something like that), or just halting betting on political events with "chosen" outcomes entirely. Betting gets tricky when you remove the element of "randomness". There's a reason there are generally heavy limits on things like the Oscars and other awards. People know (for a fact) who is going to get them, well in advance of the event.

Wait is that graph Ł5000 total, not 5000 bets? If so then it's chump change. Ł5000 isn't a lot of money in gambling terms.

there are mouthbreathers out there who fully expect them to be the 2nd largest party. There are people who think they're going to win a majority. Some of them will probably declare it a massive conspiracy "because everyone was saying they was going to vote for them!!"

That's the state of political literacy in the UK and one of the very real reasons that democracy is often an absolute joke. Just a game of who can talk the most convincing sh*te .

Think it's a case of more tories staying home, although there should be some natural crossover between conservatism and green party nature preservation policies. The real issue is working out how many true conservatives actually exist these days, or how many are Johnson tories.
