Bookmaker Already Paying Bettors Who Bet On Clinton Victory (campaign, thought, democratic)

[Mr. In-Between]

This is hysterical. An Irish bookmaker has already paid out over $1,000,000 to people who bet on Clinton to win the Presidency. He says, "why make people wait for their money? It's over."

An Irish bookmaker is so convinced that Hillary Clinton will be the next president of the United States that it has already paid out more than $1 million to customers who placed bets on the Democratic candidate winning on Nov. 8.

Paddy Power says Clinton has an 85.7% — odds of 2/11 — chance of winning the election, a figure that it believes amounts to a "done deal." It says the chance of a victory for Republican candidate Donald Trump is 18.2% — odds of 9/2. The percentages added together exceed 100% because the numbers account for any profits accumulated by Paddy Power.

No real bookmaker would do this.

I'm wondering if it's too early to start a poll here in this forum asking posters what time of night DJT will yell "UNCLE" and concede. (Or will he draw it out with a lawsuit, something in his m.o. 3,000+ lawsuits on file).

So CNN, Marketwatch, USA Today, and god knows how many other major news outlets all got together and made this story up out of thin air?

God, you guys get more hysterical by the day.

Is he still taking bets?

[Snowball7]

it's real, but what they aren't telling you is that they only did this for
certain Hillary bettors who had her at far lower odds than she is now.

those bettors hedged with Trump at these higher odds, essentially
canceling the bet, so they can be settled without the action taking place.

it's called line movement.

everything else is a publicity stunt by the marketing dept. at Paddy Power.

And, in a related story, Bigfoot was seen near an alien space ship, and it had "Clinton for President" bumper stickers on it. Looks like the conspiracy and rigging go way deeper than we first thought !

Better get a GOP investigation going, this looks BIGLY BAD for Hillary !

Its an 'advertising' campaign, it has nothing to do with who won and who lost or who might win and who might lose. they do this all the time.

Another "advertising campaign" re. the bridge too far travails of Christie. Might be that Trump no longer has a transition team leader. But I suppose there really isn't a need for one.
