>An Irish bookmaker was left red faced on Wednesday morning after its decision to pay out early to customers who had bet on a Hillary Clinton victory in the U.S. election proved costly.
>In October, Paddy Power paid out £800,000 ($992,528) on a Clinton victory after a series of negative news stories threatened to derail Donald Trump's campaign.
>"We're in the business of making predictions and decided to put our neck on the line by paying out early on Hillary Clinton, but boy did we get it wrong," Paddy Power spokesperson Lewis Davey said in a statement Wednesday.
kek, stupid bitch, anyone betting that amount can afford to lose it in this country. You don't just bet 180 grand without being able to cover the loss.
pretty fucking retarded. Keep that shit in the bank for interest rate but with less risk
Jacob Brooks
Even funnier is they then had to pay out on Trump winning too (including to me £200)
Funny how the bookies are usually spot on pricing sports and completely got brexit and Trump wrong. Maybe it's the (((pollsters))).
Justin Sanchez
No that is not how this works.
Elijah Allen
Interest rates in this country are abysmal. But I'm guessing this retard is a multi millionaire.
Blake Thomas

Depends on bank but they're bad, being kept bad by Bank of England.
about 1.5% on £2000 and around 5% on anything about £20,000 iirc? I think that's bad, I should be getting 1 trillion % interest on my savings! It's annuda shoah!
Lot's of walls, BUILD!
Carter Williams
IT COSTS DOUBLE TO BUY THAT PUBLICITY
Jeremiah Martin
Still cheaper than most other forms of advertising
Noah Cooper
UK should build walls and reinforce good border guards. and the EU pays for it!
Thomas Smith
Spreading 'news' like this is doing the work of the jew for them. They use these losses as huge advertising opportunities
Leo Gomez
>paddy power
I always thought that was guiness and sheep. Who knew it would turn out to be gambling?
Landon Gomez
How could you ever benefit from paying out early? Other than telegraphing your smugness to the world
Isaiah Martin
