A British punter stands to land a£100,000 pay-out if Arnold Schwarzenegger follows his electoral success in California by making it all the way to the White House. Bookmaker William Hill said the 56-year-old Terminator star had been heavily backed to end up in the Oval Office, even though under the current American constitution only those born on US soil can become President. Hills, which had made Schwarzenegger 4/9 favourite to become Governor of California, face a total payout of up to half a million pounds if the rules are changed and Schwarzenegger is elected President. A spokesman for the firm confirmed that one client - Robert Coppini from Little Acton, Worcestershire - had already wagered£200 on Arnie for President at odds of 500/1 and now stands to win£100,000. Hills have now slashed the odds about President Schwarzenegger to 50/1. |
英国船夫200英镑赌赌阿诺的总统命 |
阿诺·施瓦辛格在获选加州州长后,英国一位船夫竟然下注赌阿诺一定会最终入主白宫,并看好自己会获得10万英镑的奖金。 博彩公司威廉·希尔称,尽管根据目前的美国宪法,只有那些在美国出生的人才能成为美国总统,但56岁的影坛终结者阿诺还是获得了强大的支持。一名来自伍斯特郡的船夫下注200英镑,赌阿诺会成为美国总统,由于当时威廉·希尔开出的赔率是500赔1,如果阿诺真的成为总统,这名船夫将获得10万英镑的奖金。 现在,威廉·希尔已经把这一赔率调低到了50赔1。(亿笑) |
