Betfair correctly predicted that George W. Bush would stay in office and had offered odds of 2-to-1 last week for Sen. John Kerry to win.
About $4.2 million had been wagered on Bush, with Kerry drawing only $1.2 million in bets. Betfair also claims to have accurately picked the victories in the elections of California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Australian Prime Minister John Howard.
