Associated Press projects Republican Pat Toomey re-elected to the Senate from Pennsylvania. This means Republicans will likely retain control of the Senate.
Top international betting houses have flipped towards overwhelmingly predicting a victory for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, Reuters reports.
The move echoes the houses’ reversal this year on Brexit, the United Kingdom’s surprise decision to leave the European Union.
Late Tuesday, Britain’s Ladbrokes betting house gave Trump an 85 percent chance of victory, compared with just 15 percent for Hillary Clinton. Earlier in the day they had given Clinton a margin of 76 percent.
Irish bookmaker Paddy Power also reversed their odds later on election day, ending with a prediction of a Trump victory at 83.3 percent Tuesday, with Clinton at 22.2 percent.
Given the massive changes in these odds, both outlets stand to lose major money with a Trump win – but as the Republican candidate and casino owner surely knows, the house always wins in the end.
