Last I recall was 5/1 at Betfair0

I'm pretty sure Betfair had 7/1 the weekend before the election, as I had some. Also had conservative minority and con-lib coalition at shorter odds, but made an overall profit.
Though come to think of it maybe it wasn't 7/1 but a return of 7 times the stake including the stake (i.e. 6/1). Should probably have paid more attention but it wasn't a major amount of money. And so watching the results coming in wasn't nearly as interesting as the 2000 presidential vote when I had a big accumulator riding on George Bush winning Florida!0 -
I don't doubt the odds were higher than 6, Betfair odds of 5/1, but I took my eye off it towards the end. However I am certain it was 6 at some point because I didn't think it would happen so layed it and lost £80. I won some other markets so overall down £40 and not unhappy with the result
