STOP PRESS - Andrew Dakers in from 20/1 to 5/1 to win in Brentford & Isleworth

According to Ladbrokes today:http://sports.ladbrokes.com/en-gb/Politics/2010-UK-General-ElectionPolitics/2010-UK-General-Election-t110000405?dispSortId=205Could anybody who understands betting please explain what this means?

Gambler that I am I wouldn't ever usually get involved in betting on anything that isn't sport related so I don't know if Andrew was ever 20/1 - if so I think Ladbrokes got their book seriously wrong when first setting the market as odds of 20/1 are too large.  Equally the over-reaction/Clegg effect will not carry that much weight in my view in terms of this constituency and thus 5/1 is too short.  I also think that 2/7 on for Mary is too short and that 9/2 for Ann is too long.My book would be :1/2 Mary6/4 Ann15/2 Andrew500/1 A N Other
