Anybody have any opinions on this market?

There are some very big differences between the Betfair and Betdaq markets so has to be value somewhere.

I could go on a full blown rant about both main candidates but I won't.
In my opinion as a trader it will come down to Sadiq & Shaun with Sadiq winning.

I think the Sadiq price looks about right but the disagreement between BF and BD on who should be 2nd Fav is interesting. Arbs there for anyone with a big enough bank.

I seen Sadiq score some points in the media with the Fury v Joshua fight possibly being held at Wembley.

Sadiq is a certainty but I really wish I'd have seen Rose's price earlier, he has a YT channel called London Real and he's basically a conman after he encouraged everyone to donate after he interviewed David Icke and didn't do anything with the money (must've been around £2 million).

Regarding Rose in the polls he's not even mentioned, he's in the 2% Other :lol:

I'll be candid.

It's London, our once-great capital city.

Look at the people likely to vote, the same people that voted for the current incumbent, and Dianne Abbott et al. It's not a meritocracy any more.

Agendas are at play, and there's only ever going to be one outcome, and it doesn't reflect the values or heritage of Shaun or Laurence, nor is the post of Lord Mayor of London ever likely do again. Sadly.

I think his followers are die hard but it could possibly be Rose himself as you say

Looking at all the available threads I'd say this is the most likely candidate to go next :)

Yes, we are in agreement then.

Speaking of candidates, I don't like any of them.

Except maybe Miss Farah London, that looks like a candidate I could really get behind 👍

Good shout Pat 👍 Yes, I should probably change my location, thanks for the reminder. It was a bit of an inside joke, if you catch my drift.

First thing I thought of when I saw this thread. ;)

That said, the US election thread got quite contentious without getting at all toxic. :)
