 Hillary
Clinton Odds Cut to
4 to 1
Following an
impressive double
digit win in the
Tuesday Pennsylvania
Primary, oddsmakers
abroad have slashed
Hillary Clinton's
odds of becoming the
next US President
from 5/1 to 4/1.
Clinton got 55
percent of the vote
to Obama's 45
percent in
yesterday's
Pennsylvania
primary, with 99
percent of precincts
reporting.
With the race now
shifting to Indiana
and North Carolina,
Clinton still needs
a major event to
loosen Obama's grip
on the nomination
because of his lead
in the nationwide
popular vote and in
delegates to the
national convention,
according to
Bloomberg News.
``She's in a
difficult place,''
said Jenny Backus, a
Democratic
strategist who isn't
affiliated with
either candidate.
Clinton needs a
``miracle'' or
``some magical
negative story
dropping on Obama
from out of the
sky.''
Gamblers are looking
to cash in on a
Hillary Clinton
victory as well with
odds having gone as
long as 6 to 1 at
some online gambling
websites.
"She's proven time
and time again she
can bounce back,"
points out Payton
O'Brien, Senior
Editor of
Gambling911.com.
One online gambling
website has been
offering betting
odds on when and if
Hillary Clinton will
ultimately drop out
of the race.
BetCRIS.com
had been offering
the odds, with the
best payout
opportunity prior to
Tuesday's Primary.
The favorite bet was

and August 30th
