Wow there really some clueless ideas as to how bookmaking works in the much bigger European markets looking at this. Paully Howard on the first preview..."how many people in Paddy Power lost their jobs over this?"
The answer there would be zero. They wouldn't have batted an eyelid at a million wrong payout, chump change to them in the grand scheme of things and a boat load of free publicity, which was the original objective. Trump definitely was a bad result for the big bookmakers but compared to something like a bad weekend in the Premier League, it wouldnt have caused anymore than a laugh around the coffee machine
