British bookies see a banner month ahead for Donald Trump.
The Republican presidential candidate is the "red-hot favorite" to win the Iowa Caucuses (Feb. 1) and the New Hampshire primary (Feb. 9), says Graham Sharpe, spokesman for William Hill PLC, a leading British bookmaker.

The one thing for sure in such wagering: A whole lot of people will lose money. We’ll have to wait for the results to see which will be losing money on their gambling, but it is slightly heartening to know that the people of the United Kingdoms are watching our campaigns...
Just wish they weren’t betting on them.
Winning Iowa is essential for Cruz, or he’ll be back in the 5-6% range in the polls.
Winning Iowa isn’t essential for Trump, it just shortens up the process.
True.
Cruz and Rubio are young guys, and don’t hit prime political age until another 3 or 4 election cycles.

Cruz and Rubio are young guys, and don’t hit prime political age until another 3 or 4 election cycles.Maybe by then someone will rewrite/amend the Constitution so they can be legitimate...I hope not.
Convention Of States backers better be careful what you wish for.
you can probably add SC and NV to that as well. Last polls I saw Trump had big leads in both, and wins in IA and NH would increase those leads.
Wow. Heads exploding.
I’m still not sure how good his ground game is—which matters.
What, doesn’t Vegas have odds on the candidates?
Cruzers are Luzers! Pull your head out from...wherever
Hooray!
You can add MI to that list. He’s at 51% here.
The British bookies must have not received their shaming letters.
Oh Noes, Glenn Beck has failed!
I heard the 900+ Saudi’s, born in Saudi Arabia, with American mothers and Saudi fathers, many of them filthy rich, are all eligible NBC’s to tun for POTUS.
