VIDEO: What are the odds on you swiping right during the general election?

JOE

What were the odds on JOE writing an article about both Tinder and the general election?

Unfortunately, we don’t have the betting guide for that.

However, we do have this handy little Tinder style video to let you know which politicians the bookies expect to get lucky.

Enda Kenny is 1/20 to be a perfect match as Taoiseach, while Michéal Martin is priced at 14/1 to take the seat.

If you’re looking for value, then perhaps you should swipe right for Leo Varadkar. He is priced at a generous 20/1.

Sinn Féin’s Mary Lou McDonald is also 20/1, but maybe Simon Coveney is more to your taste. He is the same price.

If you’d prefer to put your money on which parties will form the government then Fine Gael, Social Democrats and Labour at 10/1 may be the bet for you.

Fine Gael, Renua Ireland and Labour is also 10/1.

If you reckon Fine Gael will match up with Labour, that’s priced at 5/2. Not bad odds, considering they have a history together.

Whoever you swipe right for during the election, don’t forget that Ladbrokes is always a great match.
