Huge wager on Corbyn to be next PM as Labour launch manifesto
Published:
Labour’s official manifesto launch has seen money flood in for the party to cause an almighty upset at the General Election, according to the latest odds.
A customer from Kings Lynn has placed a £1500 wager on Jeremy Corbyn being the Prime Minister on July 1 at odds of 10/1, shortly after the manifesto was launched in Bradford.
That bet would see a return of £16,500 should the Election go his way on June 8.
Interestingly, he’s not the only pro-Labour punter out there.
We’ve also seen plenty of chunky three and four-figure bets coming in for the party to land the Most Seats (16/1) and Overall Majority (25/1) next month.
Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: “Labour’s manifesto launch has struck a chord with punters, and pro-Labour money is piling in with three weeks to go.
“Jeremy Corbyn and co. remain the outsiders, but both money and momentum is with his party right now.”
