    Is it my imagination or have PaddyPower pulled some of the constituency's from their list of possible bets, I could have sworn that Kerry North, South and Clare were their yesterday?

    I am beginning to wonder if there is not something up with this betting lark...

    I might be just going man but, do you think its a lark to swing momentum in a particular party's favour?

    Say for instance, a famous well known bookie, goes into a betting office an lays a 25k bet on Bertie to be next Taoiseach, that makes the papers, and suddenly its momentum with Bertie again, better than any (banned) exit poll.

    Whats 25k in an election like this?

    They've removed a lot of the constituencies. Probably because they were too exposed on some candidates (they had Micheal Martin at 1-10 in Cork South Central for a while, which was a bit silly).

    I can't blame them. There are some candidates that simply are dead certs. The core FF & FG vote in a lot of constituencies guarantees certain candidates will get through, the debatable points are the 3rd/4th/5th seats generally.

    Can we still lay bets, or is it too late?

    Yup. Not all the constituencies are available though.
