[Douglas Carpenter]

For the record I am ABSOLUTELY NOT a Hillary supporter. I am just reposting the results of Paddy Power Ireland's largest bookmaker

Business Insider reached out to Paddy Power, Ireland's largest bookmaker, for their odds on the election. So far, Hillary Clinton is the overwhelming favorite.

According to spokesman Rory Scott, as of last Sunday evening, Paddy Power had taken over 5,000 individual bets on the election. In 2012, the company said over $3 million in bets were made on the election. They expect over $6 million in bets for this race. Overall, Scott predicted betting on the 2016 race will be a $100 million industry in the United Kingdom.

For the general election, Scott said Paddy Power derives the odds based on the prices for each candidate to be their party's nominee and that party's odds of winning. As of Sunday evening, Clinton was the favorite followed by several Republicans. Scott noted she received about 33% of the individual bets made on the race.


Hillary Clinton 6/5

Jeb Bush 4/1

Scott Walker 10/1

Marco Rubio 10/1

Chris Christie 12/1

Rand Paul 16/1

Mitt Romney 16/1

Elizabeth Warren 18/1

Ted Cruz 33/1

Joe Biden 33/1

Paul Ryan 33/1

10. what am I supposed to say? Everyone who acknowledges Hillary is the obvious front runner gets

accused of being a pro-Hillary operative. Well, I would like to see a progressive win the nomination in 2016 - but I still accept reality. Hillary is the obvious front runner at this time.

7. well there you go, done deal.

with only 70 some odd weeks to go now .... BOTH a CNN online poll AND and now an Irish bookie BOTH see the still undeclared presidential front runner Clinton, as having significant leads over potential but as of yet undeclared presidential election candidates.

Thank god I won't have to listen to 2 solid years of nonstop campaign speculative bullshit.
