PRESS RELEASE: Reform ahead of Labour in Hamilton by-election market

Farage’s party cut from 7/1 into 5/1; Labour drift from 6/4 to 11/1

William Kedjanyi, Political Betting Analyst at Star Sports, said: “A victory for Katy Loudon in the Hamilton, Larkhall & Stonehouse by-election looks a near certainty according to the betting, with the Scottish National Party primed to hold their Scottish Parliament seat.

“However, Reform UK have jumped ahead of Labour as second-favourites, with Reform candidate Ross Lambie cut from 7/1 into 11/2 as the party continues to gain in Scottish polls.

“A good night for Nigel Farage’s party could point towards even bigger shifts in the balance of power at Holyrood when the national elections take place next year.
“On the other hand, Scottish Labour candidate Davy Russell has drifted from 6/4 all the way out to 11/1 and is still friendless even at his current odds, continuing a trend of punters opposing Labour in political betting markets.”
