Paddy Power pays out £400,000 on Obama victory in U.S. Presidential election
Paddy Power is paying out to punters who backed Barack Obama to win the US Presidential election 2012.
Theres still two days to go before America votes and national polls show voters remain largely undecided with nothing more than a sheet of ballot paper between Democrat Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney.
But Paddy Power believes its a done deal and Obama is a nailed-on certainty to win a second term.
In England, it actually happens with some frequency. Just another reason we should be glad we aren't them.
I didn’t even think of that angle. That suckers would take their early payout and re-bet it (double or nothing!) right back on Obama only to lose it all on Tuesday night.
