How the bookies see the UK General Election 2017

I love numbers and here is one thing I just wished to keep going from my old ways until up until the General Election to see how the betting markets are reacting

I thought it would be interesting to keep a check on the latest number of seats William Hills uses for each party for their bet of will the party win more than or less than this number. Although not scientific it does at least show the general sentiment of the punters as Hills will lower or raise the number of seats depending on how many bets they are taking, so lots of bets for more than a number and they will raise that number and same the other way around.
