UK General Election **June 8th**
As a total newbie to this trading lark i was sure the Tory price was way to low.
So i decided to lay at 1.05 but did it on the wrong market, made my move on the "Most seats" rather than "Majority" market so traded out. I was gutted when it went out to 1.23. However, i bit the bullet earlier tonight at 1.19, so glad i did.
I suck at the horses and footy, but have done well on Brexit, Trump and now the general election, i used to hate politics!!

Hindsight bias lads? I don't think many people would have "genuinely" predicted this to be so tight
Big balls up by May if it's true..... maybe odds on her resignation might be worth looking at

Well, if Labour, Libs and the SNP think they are going to be holding a gun to my head then I think I need to find my passport asap for a one way ticket.
This is going to be chaos for the next 5 years.

Labour, Libs and SNP could form a government if the Tories get < 300 seats.

Can someone please explain how an exit poll can have a massive effect on the probable voter turnout. Surely this possible upset can only be caused by a lack of people turning out if that makes sense. I know the exit poll is a set sample but should it really affect the market that much?
