Well, the three debates are over and here's one view, not about who won the final debate but who will win November 8. It's an offshore view.
John Mappin, the hotelier and part of the
family that founded jeweller Mappin & Webb, stands to make £103,000
from the bookie should Trump win. Mr Mappin, who owns Camelot Castle in
Cornwall, has already made a substantial profit from backing him to
take the Republican nomination at 20-1.
“I’ve only ever placed one bet – this one,” he told The Independent.
Explaining that his conviction was based on conversations with
Americans and his experience working in the country, he continued: “I
was on baby duty with my son when I watched Mr Trump announce his
candidacy. I saw the media had got it wrong. They were saying the guy
has no chance. They were saying he’s doing this for a joke. That’s not
the case. His supporters, they’ve been watching media bullshit for years
and they see through it. Polls are very rarely reliable. I am more
confident than ever that Mr Trump will win. ”
Those who view that prospect with horror
can take some comfort from the fact that the odds say Trump is still a
long shot to win the presidency.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-elections/punters-rush-to-back-trump-despite-disastrous-week-of-campaigning
