Online Sports Book Has Hilary Clinton As 2:1 Favorite To Win The White House In 2016William Hill Already Taking Action On U.S. Race |

The 2016 U.S. presidential election is a ways away, but that hasn’t stopped some online sports books in Europe from starting to take action on the event.
In fact, one of those online bookmakers already has one candidate as a 2:1 favorite.
William Hill, based in London, recently had Hilary Clinton at 5:2 to take over for Barack Obama in the White House, but as the Las Vegas Review-Journal pointed out, those odds were slashed this week to 2:1. Recently, $2,400 was bet at the 5:2, and the firm subsequently made the tweak.
Clinton hasn’t even announced that she will actually be running.
A recent NBC survey showed that Clinton would win a popular election against current New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, the supposed Republican favorite, if the election were held today.
Clinton, the former First Lady and most recently Secretary of State, would become the first female president in the history of the U.S. if she were to be elected.
Betting on the U.S. presidential race isn’t legal anywhere in the U.S.
Those within the U.S. cannot bet on William Hill’s online site.
