True, although I think what they're doing make sense. If they pay out and then Trump's legal challenges succeed, it only gets uglier for them.

Book makers in general are pretty comfortable with low odds risk. It's kind of their business.

In this case I suspect the only reason they haven't settled the market is to avoid causing a scene with people laying bets against Trump, not because they genuinely believe there is any chance of it going the other way.

Traditional bookmakers have already paid out, including Paddypower who are part of the same group "Paddypowerbetfair".
