USA PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION: 2016 ODDS

The ballots have been counted and Donald Trump visits the White House on Thursday as president-elect. It was a wild election campaign and an even crazier election night as the results came in and showed that the polls, predictions and oddsmakers were not going to get this one right.

Paddy Power in the UK got it so wrong that they paid out Clinton bettors in advance and in doing so cost themselves $4 million by the time November 8 was over. As the polls closed and results began to pour in on election night, books continued to update their odds even as official results were incoming.

And while the oddsmakers got it wrong before election night, they were willing to call Trump the favorite earlier than CNN or any other news channel was willing to declare things for “The Donald”. From just before 8 p.m. Eastern time until midnight when numbers came off the board, here are some of the biggest swings in the odds that OddsShark was tracking.

Looking at these numbers it's clear, even in politics, you can never count out the underdog.

In a year that’s seen major payouts for underdog bettors on everything from Brexit, to Leicester City, to Villanova’s March Madness win, and even the Denver Broncos’ underdog win in Super Bowl 50, a Trump win (when he started as a 25/1 bet to win the presidency) fits right in with this unpredictable year in betting.

ARCHIVED ARTICLES**UPDATE: Votes are now being counted across the United States. The Presidential odds have been taken off the board. Just before 12 midnight (ET) Trump was listed as a -2000 favorite, with Clinton's odds set at +1000.

We’ve reached the final day of the 2016 presidential campaign and there are just hours to go until voting ends.

The FBI announced over the weekend that its investigation into a new batch of Hillary Clinton emails has found no criminal wrongdoing. Clinton's odds to be the next president have increased with that news but her lead in the polls has not recovered to the levels of two weeks ago when she was ahead by double digits.

The most recent national polls now have Clinton and Donald Trump neck and neck among likely voters. Clinton remains the favorite to be the next president among oddsmakers but by a smaller margin than at the end of October.

On the morning of election day, the odds have moved again slightly. The gap between the two candidates has shrunk, but Clinton remains a 5/1 favorite over Trump.

NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICAOdds as of November 7 at Bovada

Hillary Clinton -550Donald Trump +375Other +10000---------------------------

Hillary Clinton's chances of becoming the 45th president of the United States looked pretty solid heading into the final stretch of the campaign. However, reports Friday afternoon that the FBI is investigating newly found Clinton emails have changed that sentiment and drastically affected the odds.

With only two weeks left in the campaign, Clinton was a -550 favorite to Donald Trump's +350 odds. After the new email news broke, the former Secretary of State is now listed at -300 with Trump's odds increasing to +200.

In terms of probability, -300 means the books give Clinton a 75% chance of becoming president compared with an 85% chance at -550. For Trump, the change increases the implied probability from 23.5% to a 33% chance that he'll win the election on November 8.

News broke of the investigation after FBI director James Comey infomed congressional leaders on Friday. In a letter to Congress, he wrote, "the FBI cannot yet assess whether or not this material may be significant, and I cannot predict how long it will take us to complete this additional work."

While the reaction on the oddsboard has been swift, the effect this news will have on Clinton's poll numbers – and the overall effect it will have on the election itself – is yet to be seen.
