General Election 2010: Bookies put SNP on a loser
THE odds have been tumbling on an SNP meltdown at the polls today.
Ladbrokes, which was quoting odds of 12/1 for the Nationalists to win five or fewer seats have now reduced the odds to 6/1 after a flurry of bets.
The SNP, whose leader Alex Salmond once boasted of being able to win a staggering 20 seats in Scotland and "hang Westminster by a Scottish rope" is now facing the prospect of ending up with fewer constituencies than it did in the disappointing 2005 election.
