Palin For President - Odds On US Presidential Race At William Hill

By GamblingKingz editorialPublished Updated

Excitement is already building for the US presidential race, and Republicans are currently in the spotlight as they prepare to choose their party's representative for the 2012 US presidency.

Recently, we've seen some interesting movement at the Gibraltar-based British online bookmaker, William Hill. Up until now, Sarah Palin has been a long shot in the race, overshadowed by Rick Perry and Mitt Romney.  Her odds were around 20/1 that she would win the Republican nomination.

Surprisingly, however, Palin's odds have dropped to 10/1 and she may not be a long shot in the weeks leading up to the nomination.

The current favorite to win the Republican nomination is Rick Perry at 11/8, followed by Romney at 2/1.  Sarah Palin has not officially entered the race, but there is strong speculation that she will, leading to a flurry of bets.

Who will win the US Presidential Race

The US presidential election will be held in November next year and the current favorite to win is Barack Obama at 4/5.   This is despite the fact that Obama's approval rating has fallen below 40% and he has the potential to be voted out of office after only four years in office.

But analysts don't see a better alternative in the Republican camp.  According to political commentator Barry Reid, Republicans see Barack as "the Prince of Darkness, a cerebral elitist who is selling America down the drain.  But they don't seem to be able to offer a better choice.

Michele Bachman may be a colorful novelty, but her views have the potential to scare away the left bloc and she will not last long.

While Mitt Romney is considered the front-runner in the Republican race, "there is no evidence of fire in his belly," Reid says.  He is considered boring, despite his success as governor of Massachusetts and his all-American, picture-perfect looks.

Rick Perry, governor of Texas for more than a decade, has more "fire" but tends to put his foot in his mouth too often for his party's liking.

So can Sarah Palin be a good alternative for the Republicans? Check out the odds at William Hill and other bookmakers and online casino sites.

  • the licence an operator names, and its entry in the iGaming Ontario register when it has one
  • every offer against the terms the operator itself publishes
  • the cashier page for the methods, limits and fees it lists
  • provincial rules against the regulator’s own pages

A figure we cannot point at a source for does not go on the page, and the number out of ten beside a shortlist row is a position marker for that table — see how we rate. We do not hold player accounts, take deposits or pay out winnings.

Betting should stay a game

GamblingKingz is an independent Canadian casino and betting guide. We are not an operator and we take no bets. Every site here is checked for three things: whether it is registered with AGCO and iGaming Ontario or holds only an offshore licence, whether it keeps balances in Canadian dollars and pays out through Interac, iDebit, Instadebit or a Canadian bank, and whether the bonus it advertises has terms a player can actually read. Links to operators are commercial; the order of our table does not depend on them, and where a brand has no verified Canadian bonus figure we leave the row out rather than convert a euro package into dollars. Ontario-registered sites are not allowed to publish welcome offers to Ontario players, so the figures shown for those brands are the rest-of-Canada offer. Bonus terms, limits and payout times change — read the operator's own terms before you deposit.

Canada licenses gambling province by province, not federally. Ontario has run an open market since 4 April 2022: an operator registers with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and signs an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario (iGO) — 48 operators and 82 sites were on the register as of 22 July 2026. Alberta opened second, on 13 July 2026, under the iGaming Alberta Act, with AGLC as the regulator. Every other province runs its own operator instead — PlayNow in British Columbia, Loto-Québec, Atlantic Lottery, PlayAlberta — and issues no private online licences, so residents elsewhere play on offshore sites, which is not an offence for the player. The Kahnawake Gaming Commission, inside Quebec, has licensed offshore operators since 1999. Recreational winnings are not taxable in Canada; playing professionally is the exception.
