Among the players at Unibet, most believe that Magdalena Andersson will remain as Prime Minister. This with the odds 1.5 against Ulf Kristersson’s 2.5 at 4pm on Saturday. That S+V+MP+C wins more seats in the Riksdag than M+SD+KD+L is considered likely.
Even at Svenska spel, the players believe that the red-green get the most mandates.
At Betsson, the Social Democrats have the lowest odds of sitting in the next government, and also at Bet365, most players believe that Magdalena Andersson and the Social Democrats will win the election.
Magdalena Andersson currently has the lowest odds of becoming prime minister on all four betting sites. In line with this, slightly more players at Betsson believe that the Moderates will change party leaders after the election.
The players see it as unlikely that the Green Party and the Liberals will fall out of parliament. The odds of a new party entering the Riksdag are very high.
At Svenska spel, the players believe that the Sweden Democrats will be bigger than the Moderates.
Like a big football final
Per Carlander, product manager at Svenska spel, does not want to go into exactly how many people have played on the election so far.
– There are several thousand. Say it’s more than a thousand and less than ten thousand, he says.
– In general, there are slightly more first-time players. We also have a more even distribution between men and women, approximately 60/40. In betting on men’s sports, it is around 80/20.
According to Henrik Holm, gambling expert at Unibet, one expects a great interest in gambling around the election.
– We compare a little with the American election where we saw an extremely large interest. So far we have not reached that level, but we will see how it develops, he tells SVT Nyheter.
– In terms of the number of games, you can compare it to a major soccer final in, for example, the Champions League.
