May likely to survive no-confidence vote, claims gambling firms

Bookmakers' odds suggest that British Prime Minister Theresa May will win a no-confidence vote on Wednesday triggered by her Conservative lawmakers.

The implied probability is 86 per cent that she will win the vote of confidence in her leadership, according to gambling companies William Hill, Paddy Power and Ladbrokes.

But betting odds have been wrong in the past. In the run-up to Britain's 2016 referendum on membership of the European Union, the odds suggested there was a high likelihood that voters would support staying in the bloc.
