The line-up:

Iain Dale – Broadcaster for LBC DriveTime, Blogger and Publisher. Much to his personal disgust his early bets look likely to be on a Labour Minority Government. A self confessed political geek, will his betting bite be as loud as his bark?
Patrick Jay - He has politics and betting in his blood. “Nobody has won more on UK elections since 1997 than me,” quite some claim!
Luke Akehurst – Political pundit and Labour activist since 1988 - firmly on the moderate wing of the party but will his wins be moderate? Member of Labour’s NEC 2010-2012.
Asa Bennett – Political Journalist – With his morning briefing he could be one to watch!
Keiran Pedley – Host of Polling Matters podcast, Matchbook contributor and pollster
Laurence Janta-Lipinski – YouGov - specializes in political and social research – hope he’s active on our forum then!
Andy Morris – YouGov – he specialises in innovation. Surely he will look for innovative ways to ensure the pollsters come out on top!
Joe Twyman – YouGov – the honcho in the political and social research at the pollster – the betting boss?
Gavin Beech – Racing Post – a horse racing analyst. Swap the gee-gees for the political form book and he could win by a head?
Richard Prew – He’s tearing it up with his tips on bettingemporium.com.
Mark Jefferies – Daily Mirror – showbiz editor and keen punter. What price Justin Bieber for next Canadian Prime Minister?
Matthew Shaddick – Political betting supremo – does he have the magic touch?
Joe Saumarez Smith – Punter extraordinaire – ‘sounds like fun,’ he said. Maybe not for the others.
Mark McGivern – Daily Record – reporter who hopes to scoop on Scotland. Colleague of betting tipster Mr Fixit – how many SNP seats Mark?
Derek McGovern – Betting columnist for the Daily Mirror. Know how Esther McVey will get on in the Wirral Del?
Danny Griffiths – B etting writer Metro newspaper – how many people know this his tips are great as they head to work in the morning?
Gareth Purnell – A sports betting analyst. Remember there is no half time/full time in election betting Gareth!
Matthew Singh - Political analyst and pollster for Number Crunching Politics!
