Ive found in the past i have a real nack when it comes to political betting, where there is great value to be had sometimes.
Now on Tuesday the midtem elections in the states happen and i will be having a bet on the above market, having studied many polls i feel there s going to be a big swing to the republicans in the house and im now very confident that they will secure 240-249 seats at 3/1, i think this is a good value bet and intend on going large on it.

Yeah they only let me bet 76 Eur on the net but i went to the shop and they had to ring up, i was allowed 500 Eur, then my friend and sister put another 500 Eur on for me.
There is great value to be had on these bets, i have never lost a political bet yet, all the major polls were predicting 242-244 republican seats, so you could imagine my delight at 3/1, i would of had it at 6/4.

9 seats still to be decided, the republicans will get 4/9 but it could take weeks as some want a recount etc,once it hits 240 i should get paid out.
