Bookies say Hillary Clinton Will Win Primary and Presidency
This story amused us as we were checking out the news headlines from the casino world.
It seems that online bookies have predicted that Hillary Clinton will in fact become the next US president.
Casino City Times has the story:

These days online books are based offshore, and for the non-Americans who run them, figuring out the byzantine American election process is probably a lot tougher than trying to understand Australian-rules football. Those dedicated gamblers who have set up foreign bank accounts to gamble online may also be voting with their hearts rather than with their minds.
