Online Bookies Get It Right

Filed under: — dan @ 1:06 am

Though there was heavy fluctuation on Tuesday, the bookies had it right all along, with the majority of the wagering going towards George Bush, as he was a 2-to-1 favorite a week ago.

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.
