Seven-way leaders' debate

As you'll be aware I've already had a bet on the election - in the most seats' market. Not got any particular value there as the price I have taken is still available. Yet I still think it's incredibly close between Labour and Tories  - as we go into tonight's debate - and therefore Labour, being the larger price, remains the value 'seats' bet for the moment.

Turning specifically to tonight's debate, Farage is an incredibly short price to win having been backed in to a general 6/4 favourite. People seem to like his man down a pub image. But surely there is a chance he will slip up in this environment? 

We've seen Cameron and Miliband in the first debate and I must say I thought neither was particularly impressive. Paxo was the winner on the night for me. In 2010 I backed (and blogged) Clegg to win the TV debates. He did. Of course the situation is very different now as Clegg has been part of the establishment. However, these events are often about presentation, how people look as much as what they say. Remember the sun-tanned Kennedy v the sweaty Richard Nixon? Finally I can't have any of the three women contenders for various reasons. 

I'll be watching the debate and have had an interest in Clegg pulling it off at a decent price as follows:

If you're having a bet check betfair before you play as the price may be slightly larger....
