Election fever has led to many British voters going out and putting a bet on the actual outcome of the election. The future leader of the country will not only decide the new parliamentary policies of the country but will also make a payout based on almost 40 million pounds that have been gambled on the election. The election betting of the last 2005 general election was only 10 million, this year, the number is quadrupled with so many new methods of reaching the mass audience on election policies and promises.

This year’s election has spurred so much gambling interest due to the fact that it is now so easy to place a bet and also so easy to receive election information over the internet. Many candidates themselves have placed large bets on themselves to win their particular seat at what they believe are attractive odds of winning. The most betting taken by bookmakers right now is in the direction of whether there will be a hung parliament or a Tory overall majority.
