As the Jubilee Hills Assembly by-election draws to a close, Bheemavaram betting circles are abuzz with high-stakes wagers on the outcome.
Most punters are backing the Congress candidate, predicting a marginal victory of 4-5%, say 8000-10000 majority. But Bhimavaram Betting Circles are predicting a huge 25,000-30,000 majority which is pulling the attention.
Reports suggest that informal betting networks across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are witnessing unprecedented volumes, with Jubilee Hills emerging as the epicenter of political gambling this season.
From local traders to city enthusiasts, everyone seems to have a stake in the high-profile contest.
Authorities, meanwhile, are keeping a close watch on digital and offline betting operations.
Despite strict warnings, the election has once again exposed how political predictions have turned into a parallel betting industry, blending politics, money and speculation in a high-octane mix.
These Bheemavaram betting circles have earned a reputation for their uncanny accuracy in predicting election outcomes, often gauging public sentiment well before official results are announced.
Whereas, BRS sources told GreatAndhra that they are expecting to win with a majority of 2,000 to 6,000 votes. They remain confident and have asked everyone to wait until the results on November 14 to witness it.
