Bookmaker William Hill is offering odds on whether President-elect Barack Obama will legalize online gambling.
The bookmaker is offering even odds that Obama will legalize online gambling during his presidency. Odds that Obama will not legalize online gambling are a lot lover at 8-11 during the entirety of his presidency.
Graham Sharpe, a spokesman for William Hill, said that they are defining the legalization of online betting as being able to place any bet online that a UK citizen would currently be able to do. He also said, “You would not get paid out if poker was made legal online but sports betting was not. We would only say online gambling was fully legalized if you could bet on sports, bingo, casinos and poker.”
