Tuesday 04 November 2008 at 15:28

US President Betting Odds suggest that the votes are coming in for Barack Obama much more than John McCain as a decision over the successor to George W bush draws closer.

Obama Massive Odds On Shot For Victory

Obama is now as short as 1/33 with Sportingbet and Stan James but Paddy Power and William Hill still offer 1/14. Not a bad investment if you can afford to tie up a large amount of money for just a day. John McCain seems to be fighting a losing battle and is out to 9/1 with Stan James to win the Presidential race.

2012 Election Odds

If betting at short prices isn't your thing then why not have a stab at the 2012 Presidential election. Barack Obama is the even money favourite with William Hill, Evan Bayh is 10/1 with William Hill, John Edwards is 12/1 with William Hill, Condaleeza Rice is 16/1 with William Hill and Hillary Clinton is 20/1 with Ladbrokes. The same price with Ladbrokes also applies to John McCain.

Obama Could Win Every State

A land slide victory is expected by many and Ladbrokes are betting on Obama winning every single state! They offer a massive 66/1 on this eventuality and it could be worth a small investment.

McCain Concession Speech Odds

Paddy Power are so sure of an Obama victory they are offering odds on when John McCain offers his concession speech. The favourite is 11pm to 12pm on Tuesday 4 th November, which is 11/8. Backed into 2/1 from 3/1 is any time Wednesday 5 th November and out to 5/2 is 10pm to 11pm on Tuesday 4 th November. No concession speech is 6/1 with Paddy Power.
