Brexit: Odds fall on Theresa May postponing meaningful vote (again)

We’ve been forced to cut the odds of Theresa May postponing next week’s meaningful vote, after previously delaying it in December.

The price of another vote delay tumbled from 10 to 6/1 today, (Friday) following a series of bets.

It’s currently rated 1/33 – a likelihood of around 97% – that the House of Commons will reject the deal on Tuesday, or 9/1 that it is approved.

And we make it odds-on 1/3 that May faces a record-largest Commons defeat ever, with a majority of 228 expected.

Meanwhile, a second EU Referendum to take place before the end of 2019 is rated 6/4.

Spokesman Paddy Power said: “As we grow closer to next Tuesday’s meaningful vote, we’ve cut the price of Theresa May put it off once again, in a bid to rally up more support from MPs. Or, at least attempt to.

“And it seems Theresa May could be a record-breaker. That is, the largest ever Commons defeat since 1924, which might be one to leave off your CV.”
