Kanye's odds shorten

Whilst Yeezy was previously available for 500/1, his odds immediately following the tweet shortened to 100/1 (+10000) – indicative of just 1% implied probability – and whilst one bookmaker continues to offer that price, others have cut his odds to as short as 40/1 (+4000, which suggests a 2.44% chance.

Can Kanye become president?

Oddschecker spokesperson: “This whole saga must be taken with a pinch of salt, especially given the fact that this isn’t the first time that Kanye has toyed with the public with regards to a Presidential run.”

“However, if developments suggests that this isn’t a stunt – such as West registering with the FEC – then interest will certainly build, especially given the clear flaws of the two major party candidates.”
