Local bookmaker shares election odds

Tuesday 21 June 2022


Local bookmaker Chris Benest might not be taking bets this election, having recently shut his shop in St. Peter, but he has still run a book.

Although working at racecourses in the UK for the last 10 days, he’s not across the last-minute moves and rumours, Chris has past form on calling the right odds.

Here, Chris shares his odds with Express for Election '22 poll toppers in each district and parish.

Comments in brackets are Chris’s personal thoughts...

Deputy elections

Grouville and St. Martin

St. Helier North

4 / 5 - Mary Le Hegarat

11 /10 - Steve Ahier

16 /1 - Lucy Stephenson (“the clandestine Better Way may turn off voters”)

16/ 1 - Lyndon Farnham (the fiasco with the Royal Yacht during covid may work against him”)

One last thought...

“The most interesting thing will be turnout. I don’t think people have taken to the new districts or party politics.”
