Trump May Be Soaring In The Polls, But The Bookies Aren't So Sure
Zero Hedge ^ | 08/05/2015 | Tyler Durden

At 1000-to-1, Kim Kardashian is an outsider in the race to be the next US President but perhaps most notable in the odds that bookies are willing to offer is the 7th place that Donald Trump ranks (at 18-to-1 or just a 5% probability of winning), below GOP rivals such as Jeb Bush (23% probabiity) and Marco Rubio (11% probability). Trump even ranks below Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden according to where the money is being bet! Of course, Hillary remains the odds-on favorite at 10/11 (or 52% probability).

 

Despite Ranking in Pole Poll Position among GOP candidates, bookies remain unimpressed...

So if - as Trump always explains - you put your money where your mouth is, the bookies appear far less exuberant about Trumps #1 GOP poll position

If you want to see how bogus this is just check out Der Goernator’s 150/1 odds. His actual chance is zero, since he can’t freaking run!

AT 33:1 Ted would be a good sleeper bet.

Bookies are wayyyyyyyyyyyyy smarter than those that bet with them.

Those of you who truly believe Trump will win should bet on your beliefs.

They may be including the possibility that he will not be allowed to become president.
