As all exit polls had predicted a BJP win in Gujarat, the prediction by the punters was no different either. The odds on the BJP winning 115 seats were pegged at 1:2.15. The odds on Congress winning even 80 seats were 1:2.15, and the bookies would pay Rs 2.15 over every rupee. A bookie told Mail Today that the rates were Rs 1.50 for 110 seats, Rs 3.50 for 125, and Rs 7 for 150 seats. The odds on the BJP winning 35 seats in the 68-seat HP Assembly were 0.22 paise on a rupee; the odds on the Congress winning 30 seats were 1:2.75.
