06 May. 17:00 | Next General Election Constituency Betting Aberavon\'s chief claim to political fame was that it was represented by Ramsay MacDonald who, in 1924, became Labour\'s first Prime Minister, causing King George V to write in his diary \"Today 23 years ago dear Grandmama (Queen Victoria) died. I wonder what she would have thought of a Labour Government!\" In 1931, his second term of office, he was compelled to form a National Government in which a majority of MPs were from the Conservatives. As a result he was expelled from the Labour Party which accused him of \"betrayal\". Aberavon is a Labour stronghold. It boasts one of Wales\'s longest Blue Flag beaches and is regarded as a surfing \"hot spot\" all the year round.

06 May. 17:00 | Next General Election Constituency Betting Aberconwy is a new seat which comprises parts of the old seats of Conwy (Labour held) and Meirionnydd Nant Conwy (Plaid Cymru). It includes the holiday resort of Llandudno regarded as a Conservative area, but excludes Bangor, seen as a Labour stronghold which was part of the old Conwy constituency. The new seat has a diverse population of Welsh-speakers in the rural areas and English-speakers along the coast. Plaid won the new seat in the 2007 Welsh Assembly election but on past form in the old constituency it should be a Labour-Tory fight in the Westminster election.

It was won by Independent Peter Law who died within a year. At the subsequent by-election, Labour again failed and the seat was won by Law\'s former campaign manager Dai Davies.

It is a critical marginal seat held, at the moment, by the Conservatives with a majority of just over 600 over Labour. So a bitter fight can be expected. The sitting Conservative MP Rugby-playing Stephen Crabb wrested the seat from Labour in 2005.

06 May. 17:00 | Next General Election Constituency Betting Since 1974, when it was recreated, this constituency has always had a large Labour majority, and in the 1987 general election it was the safest seat for any party, anywhere in the UK. In 2001, it was the only seat in the country where Liberal Democrats lost their deposit, as did the Conservative Party in their worst performance outside Northern Ireland. At the last election, Labour secured a majority of more than 16,000 over Plaid Cymru, and the Tories could not muster even 2,000 votes. Rhondda is the most famous Welsh valley of them all, with its ex-mining communities, chapels and choirs. The sitting Labour MP is Chris Bryant, a former priest and a one-time member of the Conservative Party. He is openly gay.

06 May. 17:00 | Next General Election Constituency Betting This is an ultra-safe urban seat in South Wales. At the last election, Labour stormed home with a majority of more than 11,200 over the Liberal Democrats with the Conservatives and Plaid Cymru barely in sight. The seat comprises docks and factories to the east and north of Wales\'s second city. The sitting MP Sian James, who entered Parliament in 2005, was encouraged to undertake a political career after her active involvement in the 1984 miners\' strike. She is a former director of Welsh Women\'s Aid.

06 May. 17:00 | Next General Election Constituency Betting This is another safe Labour seat, although the party\'s majority dropped to below 4,300 at the last election from 9,500 in 2001. The seat comprises middle-class Swansea around the university and redeveloped docks. Alan Williams has represented the seat for the Labour Party since the 1964 general election; since 2005 he has been the \'Father of the House\' - the senior MP with the longest unbroken service. Williams will not contest the next general election, thus ending a parliamentary career of over 40 years.

06 May. 17:00 | Next General Election Constituency Betting This is a Labour Party stronghold. The area covers the new town of Cwmbran, Pontypool and its surrounding districts east of the Welsh valleys, and stretches as far north as Blaenavon. In 2005, Labour retained the seat with a majority exceeding 14,700 over the Conservatives. The current MP, Paul Murphy, has represented this seat since 1987. He has twice served as Secretary of State for Wales and before that was Secretary of State for Northern Ireland.

06 May. 17:00 | Next General Election Constituency Betting This is a marginal seat to the west of Cardiff, containing the Labour-voting port of Barry, and Cardiff airport, surrounded by Conservative villages and small towns. At the moment it is held by Labour, but with a majority of under 2,000 over the Conservatives, so a bitter battle can be expected. The boundary changes might very marginally favour the Conservatives. The sitting MP John Smith, a former university tutor, won the seat at a by-election in 1989, lost it in 1992 by the narrowest of margins - 19 votes - but regained it in 1997. He is not contesting this election.

06 May. 17:00 | Next General Election Constituency Betting This seat in North Wales is in Labour hands, but the 2005 majority of 4.700 over the Conservatives means it could easily swing to the Tories this time. The constituency includes the towns of Rhyl, Prestatyn, Denbigh and St. Asaph, which, despite its size, qualifies to be called a city because it has a cathedral - the smallest in Britain. The sitting Labour MP Chris Ruane is a former deputy head teacher. He entered Parliament in 1997.

06 May. 17:00 | Next General Election Constituency Betting This is a safe Labour seat in this former mining town in north-east Wales. At the last general election the party retained the seat with a majority of nearly 7. 7,000 over the Liberal Democrats, with the Tories hot on the Lib Dem heels for second place. The sitting MP lawyer Ian Lucas represented Trevor Rees-Jones, who was Princess Diana\'s bodyguard and a survivor of the crash which killed her, in a legal battle with Mohamed al-Fayed. Mr Lucas has been an MP since 2001.

06 May. 17:00 | Next General Election Constituency Betting This constituency – Ynys Mon is the Welsh name for Anglesey – is a critical marginal between Labour and Plaid Cymru. At the last general election, Labour scraped home with a majority of 1,242 over Plaid, so a tough battle is to be expected again this time. This partly Welsh-speaking constituency also includes the famous ferry port of Holyhead plus the smaller Holy Island. The current MP, Anglesey-born Albert Owen, is a former merchant seaman.

Dyma'r diweddaraf o Ladbrokes. Yr hyn sy'n ddiddorol efallai ydi cymharu ffigyrau'r bwci efo'r rhai cyntaf i mi eu pastio a'u copio yn ol ym Mis Chwefror. Fel y byddai dyn yn disgwyl mae prisiau wedi tueddu i dynhau ar y Lib Dems, ond symud y ffordd arall efo'r pleidiau eraill yn y lleoedd hynny lle mae gobaith gan y Lib Dems.
Er enghraifft ym Mis Chwefror gallech gael 25/1 ar y Lib Dems yn Aberconwy - erbyn heddiw mae'n 6/1 - tu ol i'r Toriaid a Phlaid Cymru o hyd, ond mae'n symudiad sylweddol. Mae'r farchnad yn barnu bod buddugoliaeth i Lafur (o 8/1 i 10/1), Plaid Cymru (o 3/1 i 4/1) a'r Toriaid (o 1/3 i 4/9) yn llai tebygol nag oedd ym Mis Chwefror - ond mae'r symudiadau yn llawer llai o lawer na'r un at y Lib Dems.
Mae'r symudiad tuag at y Lib Dems yn llawer, llawer llai yng Ngheredigion - o 5/6 ym mis Chwefror i 4/9 heddiw - ac mae'r symudiad oddi wrth y Blaid hefyd yn gymharol fach (o 5/6 i 13/8). Mae'r farchnad felly'n barnu bod cryn ansicrwydd yn yr etholaeth honno.
Mewn llefydd lle nad ydi'r Lib Dems yn gryf, cymharol ychydig ydi'r newidiadau wedi bod. Roedd y farchnad o'r farn bod Llanelli yn dyn ym mis Chwefror (1/2 i Lafur, 6/4 i'r Blaid) a 'dydi'r prisiau heb symud modfedd ers hynny.
Mae'r ddwy sedd sydd yn nwylo'r Blaid yn cael eu ystyried yn gwbl ddiogel o hyd (1/100 yn y ddau achos) ac mae'r Blaid yn parhau yn ffefrynau clir yn Arfon (1/10) a lled glir yn Ynys Mon (1/4).
Yn ol y farchnad mae'r Lib Dems bellach ar y blaen yng Ngorllewin Abertawe ac yn agos iawn yn Nwyrain Casnewydd. Mae nhw hefyd yn glir ar y blaen yn Nhrefaldwyn a Brycheiniog a Maesyfed - roedd pethau'n agos ym Mis Chwefror.
Os ydi'r prisiau'n gywir bydd Llafur hefyd yn colli Gogledd Caerdydd, Gorllewin Caerfyrddin / De Penfro, Bro Morgannwg a Dyffryn Clwyd. Byddant hefyd yn agos neu'n agos iawn i golli Alyn a Glannau Dyfrdwy, Pen y Bont, De Clwyd, Delyn, Gwyr, Gorllewin Casnewydd a Wrecsam. Mae'n bosibl y bydd cryn dipyn o waed ar y carped erbyn bore dydd Gwener.
Un nodyn bach arall - mae prisiau'r Blaid yn 100/1 o hyd yng Ngorllewin Caerdydd - yn union fel etholaethau eraill Caerdydd. 'Rwan mae'n dalcen caled i'r Blaid ennill yma mewn etholiad cyffredinol (ond mae etholiad Cynulliad yn fater tra gwahanol). Ond mae'n rhaid bod gobeithion y Blaid yma'n uwch nag yw yn etholaethau eraill Caerdydd (sydd hefyd yn 100/1) - yma mae eu saith cynghorydd ar gyngor y ddinas - cawsant fwy o bleidleisiau na nab arall yn yr etholaeth yn yr etholiadau lleol. Mae yna nifer fawr o bosteri i fyny yn rhannau gorllewinol yr etholaeth. Ydi hi'n bosibl go iawn mai'r un cyfle sydd gan y Blaid yma nag UKIP a'r Blaid Werdd?

Byddwn yn meddwl y byddai yn werth bet yn Sir Drefaldwyn yn erbyn y Lembo.
Ynglyn a'r hyn ti'n ddweud am Aberconwy (pris Lib Dem yn yn tynhau mwy na mae'r lleill yn llacio), dyna fyddai person yn ddisgwyl gan y bwcis beth bynnag. Fel mae unrhyw ddigwyddiad yn nesau, yn gyffredinol mae marchnad yn tynhau - y bwci yn sicrhau ei elw (ac yn rhoi llai o 'value' i'r pyntars) di'r rheswm dros hynny.
Wonderful web-site, I hadn’t found this before in my searches! Carry on with the wonderful work!
