Corbyn win will lose bookies half a million
From 200/1 to favourite, Corbyn is set to cost the bookies big time

Industry insiders said Mr Corbyn made “political betting history” this week when the one-time 200/1 shot was made favourite.

Now Star research has found Britain’s best-known bookies are braced to lose six figure sums if “Stormin’ Corbyn” wins the contest.
