General Election 2019: this is who bookies say they think are going to win

Today has been all about the General Election, with people heading to polling stations across the UK (including arguably the prettiest polling station - which is in East Lothian ).

Bookies have been calculating who they think are odds-on to win the election as people also wager bets on the outcome, and at the moment, they're predicting that Boris Johnson will win the General Election, with the Conservatives currently odds-on to win a majority.

You can follow the .

They predict a Tory landslide, with the party 1/25 to win the most seats. This means those wanting to bet on this would have to risk £100 just to make £4 profit.

Perhaps more crucially, the party is 4/11 to get the much needed majority needed to push Brexit through.

Despite mixed public opinion over Johnson, the odds on the Tories reclaiming Downing Street have actually lengthened throughout the campaign.

Just over two weeks ago, a Tory majority was 4/9 with Ladbrokes.

However, those gains doesn't seems to be at Labour's expense.

The odds on Jeremy Corbyn's party winning the most seats or a majority have also shortened - although Labour is still deemed a long-shot.

It is the Lib Dems who have taken the biggest hit, with the odds of them winning the election doubling to 200/1 in just a few weeks.

However, if the Tory's don't form a majority Government, SkyBet say the most likely alternative could see Mr Corbyn in Downing Street.

A Labour minority is 9/2, while a coalition - including the SNP and Lib Dems - is 12/1.
