YSR Congress has become a hot favorite for these bookies. Bidders are queuing up to place heavy bets on this party. In districts crores of rupees are changing hands already. Heavy bets are being placed that YSR Congress would win all the 18 Assembly and 1 Lok Sabha seats. Apart from this party, chances the TDP and Congress have, the number of seats they are going to win are also being speculated. Constituency-wise betting is also on. On the day when results would be out, the fate of not only the contesting candidates but also those who placed bets heavily would be known.
