Did you know the BC lottery Commission is taking bets on the US Presidential election?

It's based on a odds system. Right now they have Hillary as the winner and if you place a $10 bet on her to win you win $1.30. The same bet on Trump gets you a little more and if you bet on Gary Johnson you would be rich. They also have assorted bets on Senators and  a bet about possible impeachments after the election. As far as I know this is the first time a Government controlled lottery/gambling commission has taking bets on an Election and I'm not sure if it's a good idea. Maybe that type of betting should be left to the Bookies in the street because there is more of a Trickle down effect with the money in play. Cheers and happy weekend!

    What are their odds on a mushroom cloud growing somewhere in the world, a nuclear weapons exchange, during the first term of the next US Presidency based on each of the candidates winning that horse's a** race?
