Hillary Clinton favorite to win 2016 presidential race; Betfair launches election app

Paddy Power has taken over 5,000 individual bets on the 2016 U.S. presidential race and Hillary Clinton is the overwhelming favorite.

Despite the delay of Clinton’s planned presidential announcement due to some apparent cronyism scandal involving her brother Anthony Rodham and two of her political confidants, Paddy spokesman Rory Scott said that as of Sunday evening, Clinton had received about 33% of the individual bets made on the race.

Paddy’s odds have Clinton in the lead to win the US Presidential election at 6/5 followed by several Republicans such as former Florida Gov. Jed Bush at 4/1, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Florida Gov. Scott Walker at 10/1 and sports betting and online gambling supporter New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at 12/1.

The bookmaker also takes bets for the winning party led by the Democrats at 4/6, Republicans at 6/5 and Independent at 50/1. The expected gender of the 2016 president has Male at 8/13 and Female at 6/5.
