Trump and Clinton odds after the first presidential debate

We analise the first presidential debate in the US and compare the current chances for the position of the president for both Donal Trump and Hillary Clinton.

About a month ago we have published an article about who is the favourite in the upcoming presidential election in the United States. We presented the bookmaker odds and analysed both candidates, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, their chances for the position of the president of the U.S.A as well as the reasons behind their odds at bookmakers at that time.

Now, we find ourselves after the first presidential debate between these two candidates. Who was the winner of the debate and gained the trust and the votes of the Americans?

Both foreign and domestic American media declared that the winner of the debate was Clinton, with most of them applauding her calm poise and that she was really well-prepared. As for Trump, he started great but after the talk shifted towards the topics of his alleged sexism, racism and birtherism (He failed to provide a good answer to the question of why he demanded president Obama’s birth certificate) the debate was practically over for him.

Other already mentioned reasons behind Clinton’s victory, for experts include the frequent usage of policy-related keywords by the female candidate was crucial and that the number of attacks on her by Trump as well as the airtime he spend contributed to his loss. Trump was the one who talked more, but often without precise statements and opinions, that only proved that he is a very good entertainer, less politician and if the debate would be a short battle of slogans and one-liners he could have won. Another visible reason is that Trump was very easily manipulated by Clinton and instead of stick to talking about his strong immigration policies he never really mentioned them. Just like she wanted, they both tackled the subjects she was more comfortable talking about.

Apart from an instant reaction from people (Who were voicing their opinions very loudly on twitter) and the press, an obvious party interested with the race for the seat of the president of the United States are the bookmakers. Paddy Power, for example, clearly declared Clinton as the winner of the first presidential debate and increased her chances of winning from 63.6 percent to the 71.4 percent after the debate with Trump falling from 38.1 percent before the debate to 33.3 after the event.

Here we present some of he bookmaker odds for the US presidential election:

  • Paddy Power 2/5 (1.40) for Clinton and 2/1 (3.00) for Trump
  • Ladbrokes 4/9 (1.44) for Clinton and 7/4 (2.75) for Trump
  • William Hill 2/5 (1.40) for Clinton and 15/8 (2.88) for Trump

One thing is certain. On November 8, both Americans and the citizens of the rest of the world will hold its breath for a moment and find out who will become the 45th president of the United States, a person that will without a doubt have a massive impact on not only his country but on the entire world.

2.88 is a way too small for me, if it would be over 4 I could go for it and bet a lot!

Ok, so for me the least evil leader is Trump, he is just silly and says what he wants. Hillary on the other hand seems deceitful and i think she is not honest and there is always something off with her, you know what i mean? it's like she is a puppet of someone or something and Donald is just...Trump
