   当地时间10月9日晚9点,在华盛顿大学圣路易斯分校举行了美国大选第二场电视辩论。共和党总统候选人唐纳德·特朗普与民主党候选人希拉里·克林顿在辩论场上展开了激烈的“唇枪舌战”。而当美国人民为选谁当总统纠结不清时,在遥远的英国,一名女子押注50万欧元赌希拉里?克林顿在大选中获胜。

  A woman has placed a 500,000 euros bets on Hillary Clinton to win the US presidential election in what is probably the biggest political wager 1 in history.
  一名女子押注50万欧元赌希拉里?克林顿在大选中获胜,这可能是有史以来最大的政治赌注。
  女子豪掷50万欧元押希拉里赢特朗普
  The gamble, which is the equivalent to ?450,000, was with British bookies William Hill who placed the Democratic party nominee 2 at 4-11 to win the race to the White House.
  这名女子在英国威廉?希尔博彩公司下注,赌注相当于45万英镑,她以4比11的赔率押这位民主党提名人赢得美国总统大选。
  Should Clinton triumph over Donald Trump 3 and become the first female president the unidentified woman will accrue 4 ?180,000 in winnings.
  如果克林顿战胜唐纳德?特朗普成为美国首位女总统,那么该身份不明的女子将从奖金中获利18万英镑。
  William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe told the Mail Online that the woman is 46-years-old, a regular customer, had never placed a political bet in her life and had made the gamble in EUROS. Mr Sharpe wouldn't divulge 5 any further information on the bettor.
  威廉?希尔的发言人格雷厄姆?夏普向《每日邮报》网站表示,这名女子今年46岁,是该公司的老主顾,她从未押过政治赌注,此次是以欧元参赌的。夏普不愿意进一步透露关于赌博者的任何信息。
  'As far as we are aware the Clinton bet is the biggest wager ever taken on either the US presidential, or the UK general elections.' 'As a result of taking this bet a win for Donald Trump has now become a favoured bet for us,' he told the Times.
  “据我们所知,这个关于克林顿的赌注是美国、英国大选中押下的金额最大的赌注。”他向《泰晤士报》透露,“接下这一单意味着特朗普获胜反而会对我们有利。”
  Mr Sharpe did have a warning for those who had bet on a Clinton victory citing the rise anti-establishment politics.
  夏普以兴起的反建制政治为例,提醒那些打赌克林顿取胜的人们。
  'At the moment, political outsiders are on a roll, coming off the back of the European referendum, the Tory general election victory in the first leadership campaign, which was a 200-1 long shot at one point.'
  “如今,政治圈外人连连获胜,经历过脱欧公投后,在首轮领导人竞选活动中保守党获得大选胜利的赔率一度为200比1,成为风险极大的赌注。”
  'Maybe those who have backed Hillary should be aware of that.'
  “支持希拉里的人或许应该清楚这点。”
  Soon after the bet was placed the bookmaker slashed 6 the odds 7 on a Clinton victory to 1/3.
  这名女子下赌不久之后,庄家就把希拉里取胜的赔率削减至1/3。
  While odds on Republican party candidate Trump were lengthened 8 from 9-4 to 5-2.
  而共和党候选人特朗普的赔率从9比4增至5比2。
  The immediate 9 cutting of Clinton's odds proves a reminder 10 that prices set by bookies don't necessarily reflect the chances of victory but only how companies hope to make the most profit or lose the least amount of cash.
  克林顿赔率的立刻下降提醒人们,博彩公司设置投注赔率不一定反映胜利的几率,只反应了公司希望如何赚取最多的利润、输掉最少的钱。
  One unlucky woman lost ?100,000 to William Hill after betting big on the UK to remain in the European Union.
  一名不幸的女子在下巨赌押英国会留在欧洲后,输给威廉?希尔公司10万英镑。
  They also said a London woman bet ?10,000 on a Leave vote at odds of 11/4, meaning she made a profit of ?27,500.
  该公司还称一名伦敦女子以11比4的赔率赌英国脱欧,下注1万英镑,这意味着她赚了2.75万英镑。
  The odds of a remain victory were cut after a series of wealthy punters bet on the UK to stay in the EU.
  一些富有的投机者打赌英国会留在欧洲后,留欧派获胜的赔率有所下降。
