One university graduate in Norwich stands to win more than £180,000, depending on whether Jeremy Corbyn and Labour are successful in this election.
He bet a further £3,000 on Labour to win the most seats at 20/1.
And £1,000 - at 40/1 odds - on Labour to achieve the majority of seats in parliament next month.
Should all three of his bets come off, he will see a £182,000 return for his money.
But what are the bookies offering for the Norfolk and Waveney candidates - with North Norfolk and Norwich South among the seats to watch.

In North Norfolk, Paddy Power has Conservative James Wild at 8/15, Liberal Democrat Norman Lamb at 11/8 and Labour's Stephen Burke at 50/1.
In Norwich South, Labour's Clive Lewis is at 1/5, with odds of 3/1 for Conservative Lana Hempsall, 14/1 for Liberal Democrat James Wright and 33/1 for Green Richard Bearman.
