Here’s what bookies think of a Trump-Clinton showdown

The New York Post reports:

Donald Trump may feel invincible right now, but he’s still an underdog going into the general election.

Hillary Clinton is the favorite to win in November at odds of 4-11, according to the online bookmaker Ladbrokes — meaning you’d have to wager $11 to win $4.

The New York City tycoon, meanwhile, is a 9-4 underdog, according to the bookmaker’s Web site.


Betting on the presidential race is illegal in the United States, but the online odds capture the current zeitgeist.

“The interest is huge,” said UK-based Ladbrokes spokesman Alex Donohue. “We can’t get Donald Trump off the pages of our newspapers and our TV screens.”

Just a reminder: the bookmakers had Jeb Bush winning the GOP nomination hands down. They also gave Donald Trump almost no chance of winning the GOP nomination.
