Allegations have surfaced that at least four individuals are being investigated by the Gambling Commission for placing bets on the timing of the general election, potentially based on insider information. The betting surge occurred just before Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's announcement, raising suspicions about who knew the election date in advance. The investigation is ongoing, and the political betting market's small size means even minor bets can significantly impact odds.
