1015: Punters are piling on to
Boris Johnson as betting for the London Mayor Election enters the home straight.
Bookie
Paddy Power now has the Conservative candidate at 2/7 for an election win, his shortest odds of the campaign. The late betting has been fast and furious on the blond-mopped frontrunner with the bookie cutting him consistently from his 1/2 odds 24 hours ago.
Ken Livingstone is now out to 9/4, his longest odds of the campaign, having been 6/4 on Tuesday. The bookie estimates that £1million will be riding on the election result by tomorrow.
Darren Haines, spokesman for
Paddy Power, said: "Boris' betting bandwagon is beginning to look unstoppable. No matter what price we cut him to, punters still want to back him."

Hmmm. The latest YouGov/Evening Standard poll would suggest this is a cakewalk for Boris Johnson.
