Bookmakers have seen a flurry of betting on the UK's next prime minister, in the minutes since Theresa May confirmed her resignation.
Boris Johnson leads the contest -- he's close to evens in the race, according to British betting website Oddschecker. In relative terms, the experts believe that Johnson's chances of usurping his colleagues are as high as 47%, the company says.
And punters seem to be in agreement with the bookmakers -- 41% of the bets made after May's speech went on the former Foreign Secretary.
He's followed by fellow hardline Brexiteer Dominic Raab, who quit as Brexit Secretary in protest over the deal May and the EU reached.
Michael Gove, Jeremy Hunt and Andrea Leadsom are next in the pecking order. Penny Mordaunt, Sajid Javid and Rory Stewart are similarly priced longshots.
