A major gambling website says nearly all wagers on the presidential election in the last 48 hours have been on Donald Trump to win.
Irish bookmaker Paddy Power on Tuesday said 91 percent of bets on the election in the last two days have been backing Trump, the Republican nominee.

Were not reaching for the rosary beads just yet but if money talks, and it usually does, its telling us that Trump still has a punchers chance and hell be leaving us with some very expensive egg on our face if he does manage to pull it off," spokesman Féilim Mac An Iomaire said in a statement. Paddy Power announced earlier this month that it was paying out bets on Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton
winning the White House, calling her a "nailed-on certainty to occupy the Oval Office."
Trump gave it a hell of a shot going from a rank outsider to the Republican candidate but the recent flood of revelations have halted his momentum and his chances now look as patchy as his tan, Iomaire said earlier this month.
Recent betting trends have shown one way traffic for Hillary and punters seemed to have called it 100% correct. Despite Trumps Make America Great Again message appealing to many disillusioned voters, it looks as though America are going to put a woman in the White House.
But the race has tightened in the last week in the wake of FBI Director James Comey's letter to lawmakers telling them the agency would be reviewing newly discovered emails "pertinent" to its investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server while secretary of State.
Democrats have been ramping up calls for the FBI to release more details about the new email review ahead of the presidential election, which is just six days away.
Clinton has a narrow 1.9-point lead over her Republican rival nationally, according to the RealClearPolitics average of polls.
On FiveThirtyEight's polls-plus election forecast, the Democratic nominee now has a 68 percent chance of winning the presidency.
if Trump wins, millions will feel a lot safer making major purchases they have been holding off till the election. Can you imagine the crowds at Best Buy if Trump wins?
Running for the hills yet?
Thanks. I just tweeted Hillary to let her know the bookies think he’s screwed.
C’mon Trump, Daddy needs a new pair of shoes.
This story is about that bookie who paid off Clinton bets early. Ireland’s Paddy Power.
I think it is this bookie, and he’s from Ireland (I think).
This is the same bookie,it’s in the story
It ain’t over until the Pig In A Pantsuit screeches.
Wow! I was listening to The Five and they said 538 and some other pollsters are going with Hillary 79/21.
Nate Silver thinks Trump has a 21% chance to win?
That’s more than he gave Larry Hogan in 2014.
I like those odds.
The collaboration media made sure that they blasted that original story around the web.
Bet they wont mention this.
Exactly. I think it may have been a bookmaker in Ireland???
Or if she does, it will be the biggest freak election in the history of the Earth.
Obama beat Loser McRomney because McRomney was a quiter.
He caved to Candy "Lard Ass" Crowley.
Trump has never conceded defeat.
Trump will win on Tuesday though it will be Wednesday morning before we can start celebrating.
What a headache you and I will have.
America will have survived her existential challenge...she survived.
Faux News is a propaganda outlet for the Cheap Labor Express, they’re trying to depress turnout. It’s the only shot they have at keeping the citizens from getting control of our government once again.
I know we are. Holding our coin and our breaths until after the election/January 20, 2017.
Cankles campaign is imploding. Trump in a landslide.
Oddly enough, I was reading this thread in the Hobby Lobby parking lot and when I got out to go in the store, there was a car parked behind me with a Trump sticker and a vanity plate that said SAFMONY.
A sign?
;)
AND HER
I’ve blown my disposable income on cosmoline, freeze dried food, vodka, and better locks on my doors in the event Hillary wins. I’ll have to wait till January to celebrate if Trump wins.
