It's Official: Trump Is Now The Bookies' Favorite

Tyler Durden's picture




 

With Hillary's demise accelerating, and Trump's lead over the GOP field surging, it appears the "money" has finally figured it out. For the first time during this campaign, Trump has become the bookies' favorite to win the Republican nomination, surging past Bush who it appears has finally lost the real "money" backers...

 

Sopurce: PredictIt.org

Of course, this should not be a surprise...

 

Even after last night's debate slugfest - the lead remains as wide as ever.

The lesson being: say what you think and give the finger to anyone who's offended.

LOL....fed up with the left then have some right!

None of this will matter as the elite will soon run and hide in the bunkers paid for with citizens taxes, after engineering a full economic collapse as well as starting WW3, plus they will make sure that there are enough Jihadi's in the West to start a race war.

That should be enough to cover up the failed fiat ponzi scheme and take care of the 'excessive' population......

Don't worry, he's not going to be the guy.  He's done for this election cycle.  Can't say he won't come back again around 2020, though.  Some shit won't go down no matter how many times you flush.

Trump is NOT the bookies favorite.  Bookies don't have favorites.

Bookies set the odd based on the amount of money bet on each choice.   Trump is the gambler's choice.

Bookies set the initial odds and then adjust the odds to balance their books.

 

If they make an intial mistake then it will end up costing them their vig and then some.

 

Yes bookies also gamble and they do play favorites. 

 

They just gamble using large pools of other gambler's money.

 

Sort of like...um...BROKERAGE HOUSES on Wall Street...

And what was she 6 months ago when Trump was 32:1 and Jeb was everyone's favorite to face off against Clinton?

Circumstances change, bookies odds change.  What was on show then like now, is how far behind reality are those wagering the most money.

I've been visiting this site for years, and Trump has lit a fire under my testicles. I'm spending about 30 hours/week doing what little I can to help him help America. Can it be saved? I hope so (not likely) but regardless, I'm sick of metrosexual hacks dictating our future. I want a MAN in charge when the sh*t goes down, if nothing else.

Please have a look at my site: http://trumpcampaignanalysis.blogspot.com/

I'm doing heavy research on the fringe issues, hoping to make a dent. Here are the three most trafficked articles so far (about 3000 reads between them, not bad for a dumbass):

1. Hillary has two clinically defined mental illnesses (no BS, she's fucking crazy) http://trumpcampaignanalysis.blogspot.com/2016/01/hillarys-mental-illnes...

2. How Alan Grayson (love him or hate him? For me, both) will sink Ted Cruz: http://trumpcampaignanalysis.blogspot.com/2016/01/how-alan-grayson-will-...

3. Ted's citizenship is a MESS. It goes way beyond what most people are hearing. http://trumpcampaignanalysis.blogspot.com/2016/01/17-unanswered-question...

In other pieces, I take apart Cruz's N.B.C. answer in the debate, discuss Trump's Cruz 'master strategy', and rip apart the various objections to Trump (racist, etc.).

I get dick from this, just the satisfaction of making perhaps a tiny, tiny difference. I'll keep the articles coming, blunt truthiness from a nationalist, anti-xenophile, anti-establishment perspective ("Haley Drops Trou" is a good example).

Please check it out, and if you think it's worth sharing, please share it.

Thank you, ZH readers.

Not getting dick out of working to advance Trump's cause is more than fair pay as that is what the rest of us will be getting out of the country finally getting the President she really deserves. I for one look forward to watching Trump beat on the US's problems with a big bag of sunshiny generalisms. It's gonna be HUUUUUUGE....

Politics is about ideas, not policy specifics. Try a 3-D view.

Which president do you remember getting elected on policy specifics? This is another useless, dickless anti-Trump shibboleth that I destroy in this piece: http://trumpcampaignanalysis.blogspot.com/2016/01/trump-faces-no-real-ro...

You are failing to look at the larger picture...

 

Bush will be Trump's VP running mate.

 

And then when the Bush family has Trump killed then Jeb can take over.

 

You do know that American Politics are a FARCE...when bookies are placing odds on it...like a FUCKING SPORTING EVENT.

 

How much more clear does this have to be?

If Trump wants to stay alive he will pick Ron Paul as his running mate. That's the only guy that TPTB don't want in the WH even more than Trump.

He will not. He is an Establishment figure. 

 

Come on.

 

He supported that Bull Dyke's run for the US Senate Seat in New York.

 

He was a REGISTERED DEMOCRAT and only changed that LABEL in 2008. That should tell you that he is a RINO.

 

He donated to and supported the Clinton Foundation.

 

Come on...You are smoking the Hopium.

 

There is no hope.

 

Ron Paul was the last hope. And we lost.

 

So we write the requiem of the failed Nation.

 

There are no political solutions at this point. Perhaps there never were and I was also in a delusion thinking that there were during the 1980's when the Wall came down.

 

But Waco, Ruby Ridge and Oklahoma City changed that. And 911 was just the iciing on the cake.

 

I stopped using the Hopium almost two decades ago.

 

Withdrawals are painful...but it is worth it.

If present trends continue, you are definitely right.  But yours is an interesting amalgamation of establishement drivel and hopelessness, not worthy of an American. There are more than enough people in this country whose instincts haven't been neutered. They've simply never had a vehicle to drive into the establishment's wheelhouse. 200 million white gun owners are a good foundation for lasting change. Obama gets that, why don't you?

Even if you are right, why not stick a finger in the establishment's eye, just in case Trump isn't bought and sold? We know for a fact that the rest are tools. Will Trump seal the border and end the demonrat voter importation scheme? That's enough for me. After that, we can fight on with some hope for success.

Clueless.

Trump will pick his own VP and like everything he has done it will work for him and probably be unexpected.  Most unlikely he will pick any of his current competitors as VP, not because they are currently competitors but because they won't bring anything useful to him.  He will probably employ a number of them in cabinet slots and some on the campaign trail.

And bookies place odds on elections and lots of other events all over the world.

Do the research on who's backing Cruz and Rubio.  

/ You'd never guess which Usual Suspects are behind them /s

Hint:  They don't go to church services on Sundays, are tightly knit, and have global network and global plans.

And, to hedge their bets ("Bet on all leading horses", "Finance both sides of a war"), it seems that the Trumpster has also been approved/endorsed by a number of their Big Whigs.

Which brings us back to the same old ZH mantra:  The POTUS is just an Errand Boy, a Shabbos Goy, a Salesman-In-Chief, a Frontman-In-Chief.  IOW... a MUPPET.

Plan and vote accordingly. And good luck, 'Merica.  You're gonna need it.

Posted Elsewhere on ZH: 

Hillary probably eats pussy like a retard on bath salts. 

I seriously don't think the Demoncratic Party is dumb enough to run her, unless they're totally out of options, or know something we don't know. 

Hillary Clinton is a fucking nutcase. She should be locked in a straightjacket. 

Her biggest supporters are mostly bulldykes, and conned women, who are stupid enough to believe that a Woman-President will somehow fix all of of the bullshit that's wrong. 

You want to know how to fix America? 

Replace EVERY politician, who has ever kowtowed to corporations, or any kind of "our group, first"" special interests. 

Create higher standards of accountability. - ANY government official shouldn't be allowed to act on inside information...on the contrary, the penalties for their actions should be MORE SEVERE THAN those of an ordinary citizen, precisely BECAUSE they're placed in a position of trust, on the basis of public confidence.

They should act in good faith, and the penalties stemming from any failure to do so, should be severe enough to far outweigh the incentives. 

In short form, remove the incentives. 

Simply put: 

They get caught dirty, then give them the worst treatment that's legally permissible by law. 

Let them FEAR people.

@ NoDebt:

It wasn't directed at Doc (whose comments I mostly agree with). 

The point is, politicians, judges, cops, or anyone else who holds "a position based on public trust" should be held to a much higher standard, than your average person. 

After all, that's the basis that they get elected on, right?

As she appears to be the one that the "establishment" is in bed with, they'll keep pushing her until all hope is lost. Is Bernie really as anti-establishment as he claims to be (honest question)? My point being that it would be funny if the 2 candidates end up being guys who refuse to be bought. I don't think Trump is some knight in shining armor, but I do think that he is by far the least likely to be bought off in backroom deals. He doesn't need the money, and his ego is far too big to ever let him bend the knee.

But if you have any faith or confidence in this failed Debt and Death paradigm...

 

If you do not believe that the World is run by roughly sixty Crime Families...

 

If you do not believe that they have only planned for your imminent destruction and subsequent death,,,

 

Then, by all means, continue to enjoy misplacing your Faith and Confidence in the fraudulent and corrupted Status Quo.

 

You will deserve everything coming to you.

 

Enjoy your destruction and may your pain and suffering be lengthened before you succumb.

 

You deserve the full measure of the system, the consequential suffering, of that which you support.

 

Financial support is SUPPORT.

 

Financial support is SUPPORT.

 

Financial support is SUPPORT.

 

You cannt deny it. You financially support your own destruction YOU SUICIDAL, SELF DESTRUCTIVE FUCK.

 

Now please continue and tell me who sucks?

 

IT IS THE ONES WHO SUPPORT THIS.

 

THAT IS WHO SUCKS.

Rubbio?  Can someone tell me why this snot-nosed kid, with Zero real life experience or real life skills, is supposed to be so "electable"?

Hell, I wouldn't vote him for Mayor, much less a Senator.  Are Repubs and Latinos THAT dumb and that gullible, to actually vote for him?

He is the ultimate Pretty-Boy-Muppet I've seen: slick, phony, and backed by Zio-billionaires.  Fuck Rubio!

 

p.s. As long as the Zio-Cons back Cruz and Rubio, and 'approve' of Trump, and as long as Zio-Libs back Clinton and Sanders, do you really think that this Kabuki 2016 is any different from previous ones, or that the outcome will be any better?

The last two rounds they snookered the Dems/Libs + Independents on one type of Hope & Change.  As I see it from my "Captian's chair" (did a fish just bite?), the GOP + Independents are about to get their favorite flavor or Hope & Change.  Hoping that the latest Candidate will "Do right by you", sounds like one of Charlie Sheen's dates hoping for the same.  

LOL.  Keep hoping & dreaming.  But you'd best get ready for the hot phase of WW III in the next 12-36 months, when "Hope" won't save you or your family.
