If this is accurate...

As I expected, PAP will hold MacPherson, Marine Parade, Nee Soon, and Jalan Besar.

And lose East Coast and Fengshan.

What I did not predict or expect is for WP to win Sengkang West.

I also do not expect SPP to take back Potong Pasir. And by such an improvement.

Overall, the bookies odds give PAP quite a boost in percentage, with 5 GRCs with over 70% of votes to PAP. I do not sense such a shift in mood towards the PAP.

On the other hand, the bookies are favouring SPP in Potong Pasir. Again, I do not sense that.

Then again, my senses could be way off.

Overall, the assessment seems to be that NSP will do poorly. Or not as well as 2011. Which is a reasonable conclusion.

But these are just bookie odds. But then again, they do make a living from being accurate about these things. If these REALLY ARE odds from some bookie. (Don't ask me how to gamble on these predictions from the bookies).

To be fair, these are just numbers and we have no way of knowing how the figures were arrived at, or how reliable these figures are.

We'll know on Saturday.
