William Hill have cut the odds about the General Election taking place on any date other than May 6, 2010, from 4/1 to 7/2 after rumours suggesting that Gordon Brown is considering an April Election resulted in punters betting on that option.

"'Most political observers are convinced that the General Election will take place on May 6 - and that has been an almost unbackable option at odds of 1/7, but we have begun to see some money on the Election being called earlier than that and have cut our odds for any date other than May 6" said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe.
