Nick Luck Daily Podcast Nick Luck

In a brand new podcast working up to Election 2024, Nick Luck is joined by political betting experts Rory Campbell and Neil Channing to find the sharpest angles to bet the vote. They use their in depth historical knowledge combined with forensic analysis of the polling data to exploit the seat-by-seat betting markets. In this episode, Rory gets carried away with the hijinks of Lib Dem leader, while Neil identifies at least two constituencies where the Tories could do much better than the market predicts. Both see the back of Jeremy Hunt, while the chances of Farage and Corbyn also come under the microscope.
