Ladbrokes Budget bingo - gamble on 'Long Run'
'LONG RUN' is one of the best backed phrases ahead of tomorrow's budget speech according to
Ladbrokes. Early money indicates that 'Red Tape' (6/4 from 2/1), 'Earthquake' (2/1 from 3/1) and 'Long Run' (4/1 from 6/1) may all be mentioned. Deficit remains the 1/50 favourite with 'Frontline Services' a solid 1/2 shot.
In the tie colour market, purple is a steady 2/1 favourite with red a live outsider at 12/1.
Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes told Bettingpro this morning: "Perhaps Osborne had a few quid on the Gold Cup winner as punters seem to think he'll name drop him in his budget speech!"
