The Odds On Boris Johnson And The Tories Beggar Belief

Those who regularly bet on politics in the UK can’t explain it. The pundits can’t explain it. No one can explain it. The odds on Boris Johnson and the Conservatives remain healthy despite a string of scandals. Apparently, the British populous are willing to see it through to the bitter end and so is Boris. However whilst the public stand square behind Boris you can bet on the Conservative Party eying where to stick the knife when it comes time for Bojo to carry the can.  

They responded in time of crisis like headless chickens. However whilst that was damning, the circumstance were such that it might be forgivable. Heat of the moment. Didn’t know all the facts. We made mistakes. Unprecedented situation. Quite understandable really. And if that were the only scandal at the feet of this government the odds on Boris Johnson might not seem so crazy. But with Brexit biting, the Pandora Papers and Priti Patel it is absolutely astonishing.

You ought to find the odds on Boris Johnson getting re-elected at Bet365 so long they’d make a marathon look like a sprint. Instead of which they’re still favorites to retain power. Brexit is leaving pubs without beer, shops without products and petrol stations without fuel. You’d think that means you’d be able to bet on Boris Johnson getting lynched, not getting another term in power. It’s just insane. Online betting sites in the UK shouldn’t be offering Evens on the Tories.

Pandora Papers Say Conservatives Funded By Oligarchs

The Pandora Papers alone should have had the Conservatives hounded from office by a mob with burning torches and pitchforks. Apparently, Russian oligarchs have funded the Conservatives for years. Close allies of Vlad Putin are putting money in the pockets of top Tories. That’s ridiculous. The tory sleaze stories of days gone by pale into insignificance in comparison. The odds on Boris Johnson and the Conservatives should accelerate out of sight at this point. But no. They’re static.

Odds On The Next UK Government

• Brexit Party Majority – 500/1
• Lib Dem / SNP  Coalition – 250/1
• Lib Dem Minority – 250/1
• Cons / Lab Coalition – 66/1
• Cons / Brexit Coalition – 33/1
• Cons / Lib Dem Coalition – 25/1
• Lab / Lib Dem / SNP Coalition – 16/1
• Lab / SNP Coalition – 14/1
• Lab / Lib Dem Coalition – 14/1
• Lab Majority – 6/1
• Lab Minority – 3/1
• Cons Minority – 3/1
• Cons Majority – Evens

They’re holding level at around Evens the Tories are the next government. This despite Priti Patel the Home Secretary introducing a new border law that contravenes several others. A study shows it breaks both domestic and international law. That should see her shuffled out but it won’t. Not now. Not under Boris. As long as the odds on Boris Johnson and the Conservatives at Bet365 and other online sportsbook sites in the UK remain this low she can do no wrong. None of them can.

Bet365 Has The Best Odds On Boris Johnson

Indeed, it starts to look a little spooky. What would leave any other government dead in the water just slide off this government. One could even start to consider that perhaps Boris Johnson sold his soul to Satan (or perhaps Santa). It would explain a lot. However, the Conservative party will only stick with the devil they know for so long. They know someone has to take the blame for all this. As you might imagine the odds on Boris Johnson being that man are very, very short now.

Odds On The Next Conservative Leader

• Oliver Dowden – 20/1
• Priti Patel – 16/1
• Sajid Javid – 14/1
• Dominic Raab – 12/1
• Lis Truss – 12/1
• Jeremy Hunt – 8/1
• Michael Gove – 6/1
• Rishi Sunak – 2/1

He’ll know that at some point a reckoning will come if he doesn’t make an appropriate exit as David Cameron did. Just walk away whistling. Trouble is you look at the odds on Boris Johnson and you know he’ll not go with grace. Grace isn’t in his repertoire. So, anyone in the UK gambling laws of common sense will see him go sooner rather than later is mistaken. Boris will look at the UK politics odds at Bet365 and rejoice, and then see just how far he can push it all.
