65% of all bets on the market have backed Trump to win the U.S. presidential election

Donald Trump’s odds to win the U.S. presidential election may not match that of bookmaker’s favorite Hillary Clinton, but a late surge of bets have been placed on the Republican candidate ahead of the final presidential debate on Wednesday.

British-based bookmakers William Hill have launched their list of bets for the final debate, with Clinton placed at 1-3 to win the final televised showdown and Trump at 9-4.

Trump will get the win.

65% points to Donald as each individual vote could be considered represented, not the total money placed.

I was just reading another article (probabaly the same article) on the Independent:

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-elections/punters-rush-to-back-trump-despite-disastrous-week-of-campaigning-a7368196.html

This phenomenon would be amazing to watch on the election night. For goodness sake, even Nigel Farage did not think they were going to win.

The question would be, who is most likely to go and vote?

I think the outsiders always have a little more enthusiasm. In Hillary’s case, I don’t think there is ANY enthusiasm.

Interesting. It could be a head-fake created by Hillary operatives. Don’t get complacent!

Evening KC,

I've got that good feeling buzz, the same as I had before Brexit.
Being the logical punter that I am, I have all bases covered, just in case the harpy does achieve what I hope she does not.
Very few people over here actually understand what is at stake with this election or how much bull they have ingested from the media.

I've had a good feeling about ‘La Toupee’ ever since he threw his hat in the ring.
So, here's hoping and may the best horse win!
