Bush to Win? You Can Bet on It Bookmakers Take Bids on Presidential Candidates British bookies say there’s easy money on this man to win next week’s election. (Rick Wilking/Reuters) By Sascha Segan Oct. 31 — The election’s still a toss-up in the United States, but British gamblers say George W. Bush is going to win the White House. “Most of the money over the last three or four weeks has been for Bush,” said Matt Finnigan, spokesman for Ladbroke’s, the U.K.’s largest betting house. It’s illegal to bet on political races in the United States. But overseas, almost anything goes. William Hill, Britain’s second-largest betting house, has already received more than 200,000 pounds ($290,000) in bets on the presidential race, spokeswoman Serena Momberg said. In England, Ireland, and Australia, bookies all say Gore started strong at the beginning of the campaign, but has drifted off to become the underdog. The bookmakers better have the odds right — or they’ll get burned in payoffs at the end. abcnews.go.com
