This sounds like a publicity stunt, nothing more. I looked up some info on this outfit and they have a reputation for zany stunts and advertising gimmicks. One time, they placed transvestites in the audience at a sporting event and launched an advertising campaign about it - it was called "Spot the Stallions from the Mares" - and it riled up all the politically correct people.

They also have a history of paying out early on other events as well. I think that's part of their wild and crazy image. They might be paying out 400,000 pounds for no reason at all but the publicity they will get from this stunt is probably worth millions of pounds in advertising.

The rubes get they’re payout on Obama then being the degenerate gamblers they are turnaround and bet their winnings on Obama at a higher price.

Classic pump and dump just like the stock market

I didn’t see anywhere where Paddy’s isn’t taking anymore bets on Obama.
