Gambling Site Has More Bets That This Non-Candidate Will Win Than Any Other Democrat Running
GP ^ | September 19, 2019 | JOE Curl

One British bookmaker has more wagers on one candidate to win the Democratic presidential nomination — and the person isn’t even officially running.

U.K. bookmaker Ladbrokes takes betters wager on the race, and according to Matthew Shaddick, head of their political betting division, Hillary Clinton is atop the pack, Newsweek reports.

“The site currently has Clinton’s betting odds at 20 to 1, placing her alone in seventh place as far as best odds. That is ahead of most of the people actually running, including Sens. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, and former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke.”

“We’re baffled, to be honest,” Matthew Shaddick, head of political betting at Ladbrokes, told Newsweek. “We’ve taken more bets on her to be the Democratic candidate than any of the other runners.”

Well, if you keep reaching into the toilet bowl for candidates, all you are going to find are more turds.

I would love to refer to hillary as “three time loser”, plus it would cement her as the most hated woman in world history permanenrly ending any Clinton Dynasty. Trump pretty much ended the Bush Dynasty as well

...

I guess they don’t adjust the odds to reflect the betting.

Seventh place wouldn’t make a good click bait headline.

There has to be one in there they can pick up by the clean end.

Unless the current slate wipes out by Christmas, the money people have indicated that they would not support another Clinton run — which would likely be doomed to fail, again.

I’m thinking Michelle Obama, as a figurehead for Barry’s third term.

We all know Hilly would like to be crowned the nomination, but the party won’t stand for it. Is she working behind the scenes to align support - of course, but it won’t be enough.

Yeah, Hillary. That’s the ticket. Go for it, Democrats.

Anyone seen a picture of her lately? It’s right out of The Picture of Dorian Gray.

I’m NOT going to say anything as ridiculous as the Democrats are stupid, and won’t run Hillary again, but I don’t believe the heirarchy of the party, the heirarchy none of us ever hear about, the behind the curtain top thugs of the Democrat party, the ones who have Schumer on the phone at six o’ clock A.M. every morning seven days a week would ever allow Hillary to run on their behalf again.

Those people want results, and Hillary isn’t the results they need. Running a loser isn’t going to get them the results they want.

There will be somebody other than ol’ Joe, but it won’t be Hillary.

Hard to believe that that many people are going to waste their money on Ladbrokes betting on their hopes rather than their intelligence.

Note to British, American and world Leftists:

Hillary is a corrupted, uninspiring mess of a candidate, who doesn’t care about Leftist causes except they help her get power. And that is it.

If you think she’s ever going to win again, then you are even more stupid than in 2016. If you think she’s going to inaugurate an era of Left Wing Utopia, you’re even stupid than your betting on her now idiocy.

But go ahead, waste your own money. I’m sure the Broke Lads love it.

hildabeast will hold up on her announcement & hope to come out of a “brokered” dem convention.......unless her criminal indictment comes first.

as soon as her lawyers are served with indictments, she’ll announce for president & claim the charges are all politically motivated.

<< hey, it works evrey time >>

Democrats dream of a 2016 rematch? Shows they don’t have anyone who can beat Trump.

Hillary hoping for a political resurrection.
It won't happen.

At Bovada, it’s 20:1 that she’s the Dem nominee, 50:1 that she wins the General. Trump is at 1.05:1 for President. The others have their odds (higher and lower than Hillary) for Dem nominee and General, too. She won’t win the Presidency, but at 20:1 I’m thinking about putting something in for her being nominated.
