Not enough information. Is this for a specific election? Or any election? Most of these people are not running for the same job. Paul Ryan, for instance, probably has a better chance of winning his race than anyone else on this list, but his challenger isn't listed. Please provide more information so I can give a logical response.

Win the election or be sworn into the office? I'd still put a dollar on Johnson, I think the odds are too high. If he wins any state and the race is close neither Clinton or Trump may have enough delegates for an outright win at which case it goes to the house. Johnson could manage a coalition from the two never groups and wind up getting a majority for the win. I'd put the odds on that as 250:1 so that's a bargain at 501:1.

If you know someone in the UK put $25 on Evan McMullin via SkyBet. That's what I did. He's currently beating both Clinton and Trump in some polls in Utah and is apparently running a Utah-only campaign, plus he has an endorsement from the former king of Utah.* If Clinton and Trump end as a tie, and McMullin wins Utah, then same scenario as per tzor; the House elects the president from between Clinton, Trump, and McMullin.

If you put $25 on McMullin the pay-out in this scenario is is $12,525. With that kind-of cash you could pretty much buy all of South Australia.

It's this election.

Ryan may not be running for President yet, but the idea of forcing Trump to withdraw from the race and drafting Ryan as a replacement has been floated. It may not be likely, but probably worth 150:1

For the same reason, I'm surprised that Jerry Brown isn't on the list. I think if Hillary was knocked out of the race for medical reasons or whatever, I could see a "Draft Jerry Brown" movement developing instead of handing the nomination to Tim "I won Warner Brothers' Grinch Look-Alike Contest" Kaine.

If it can only be found by drunk Aussies, whoever designed that site is a genius.

Right now the Aussies are gambling with fire. They are changing the citizenship exam to include more stringent English language and value tests. This is probably a precursor to opening up the Nauru base. This is a terrible move. Nothing short of bombing all incoming vessels will help Australia. I predict Mad Max is 0.8 years.
