Bookmakers William Hill expect the announcement of the date of the General Election to spark a political betting bonanza of up to £25million.
'It would be fitting for the General Election to come under orders in the same week as the Grand National, the biggest betting event of the year, will take place - as this General Election is a certainty to produce the biggest ever political betting turnover, with some £25million set to be riding on the outcome' said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe.
PUNTERS ARE BETTING THAT THERE WIL BE TWO GENERAL ELECTIONS THIS YEAR. William Hill offer 3/1 that we will have to go to the polls again before the end of the year.

**WILLIAM HILL have cut their odds for the Conservatives to win the next General Election with an overall majority from 8/11 to 8/13, and lengthened the odds for a Hung Parliament from 11/8 to 6/4. Labour are out from 13/2 to 8/1 to win with a clear majority and the Lib Dems 300/1. 'With the polls putting the Conservatives back into a healthy lead, punters have finally begun backing the Tories seriously again for the first time this year' said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Gordon Brown is 3/1 to be PM in a minority government, with David Cameron 10/3 to end up likewise.
**Hills offer 3/1 that there will be two General Elections this year.......5/6 that the Green Party will win one or more seats.....2/1 that UKIP do likewise....12/5 that the BNP will win one or more seats.....8/1 that the Turnout will be under 55%.......
