At the moment I can only see the tens not the units changing on the 'seconds' sectiopn of the Countdown Clock. So, if you want for a while to have a sense of life passing ten times more slowly ....  |

A Labour MP placing a bet as a PR stunt isn't betting news.

Election Game predictions have been published. Out of 85 entrants, 70 have predicted a Tory win, 14 for UKIP, and a solitary rather delusional Lib Dem.

Newark: latest betting news This betting ticket is owned by a Mr S Pound MP I wonder if politicians are covered by the same rules as footballers who can't bet on football matches. Could Politicians be seen to have insider knowledge? Just putting the question outthere. |

Some students at Loughborough University are either going to look like geniuses or morons tomorrow. They have put out a Newark poll with Helmer ahead of Jenrick 31-30, Payne at 21, Watts at 7, others at 11. Sample size supposedly 2,100; no other details available.

At this point I will again mention that the "student" survey much more accurately predicted Tyne Bridge back in 1985 than the BBC's poll  Quite a lot of money going on UKIP in the last few days, and not much on the Tories. As ever, motwyw..... |

Footballers are allowed to bet (indeed, a premiership player was formerly someone I dealt with regularly), just not on games they're playing in not that it stops some using proxies. There's at least one MP who has a note on his account urging caution on political bets. |

As ever, motwyw..... Entirely possible that students (is well taught students of statistics) would make a perfectly good job of polling - is it being done as part of a course? |

I took a compulsory module on political data analysis as part of my degree. Didn't enjoy it. However, I'm sure my fellow students and I could have done better than every pollster with the right sample size.

I wonder what the over round is. On my phone so I'll have to check later. I bet it's massive if they've gone out to 1/14 from 1/10.

Yes, their pie chart shows all the volume on UKIP (sentiment and less well informed) but most of the money and all the big bets on Conservatives. As they say.....Always follow the money!! It looks like a Conservative win between 2500 and 5000, probably dependent on turnout? At Eastleigh a greater turnout would have put UKIP in, but here I fear a greater turn-out will aid Conservatives? Hope I'm wrong. |

Wonder if the Elvis Bus party will cost UKIP votes.
