Gamblers at an online casino in the United Kingdom, Ladsbroker, have a startling prediction for how the 2020 U.S. presidential election is going to shake out.
They’re betting on a re-match of the 2016 election.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is the biggest choice among gamblers to win the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination — despite the fact that she’s not currently running.
“The site currently has Clinton’s betting odds at 20 to 1, placing her alone in seventh place as far as best odds,” Fox News reported. “That is ahead of most of the people actually running, including Sens. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, and former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke.”
Ahead of Hillary is Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., the frontrunner with 6 to 4 odds. Next is former Vice President Joe Biden is at 5 to 2 odds. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-V.T., is third at 5 to 1 odds.
Booker has 33 to 1 odds. Beto has 50 to 1 odds.
Hillary isn’t the only person not running that gamblers are throwing money at, either.
Former first lady Michelle Obama is at 100 to 1 odds, better odds than New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio.
Still, the amount of money being bet on Hillary has “baffled” the head of the company’s political betting division, Matthew Shaddick.
There’s so much money coming in, the company would lose out substantially if Hillary somehow was nominated at the Democratic National Convention in July of 2020.
“I’ve seen some speculation about what might happen if Biden had to drop out for some reason — perhaps that would leave a space for her to occupy in the field?” Shaddick told Newsweek. “Doesn’t really convince me as a good reason, though.”
