Paddy Power is pleased to announce the appointment of Joe Lee – previously a sports trader for more than 15 years – to the role of Head of Trump Betting.
The company were forced to create the role after record-breaking interest in Donald Trump’s Presidency with the Donald attracting more bets within three months of his inauguration than predecessor Barack Obama did in his entire term.
Already online, Paddy Power’s ‘Trump Hub’, a micro-site which hosts more than 150+ special bets on the US President, and the appointment of Lee is the next step in our focus on Trump.
This all started when we paid out early on him losing the Presidential Election last year, a decision that cost us $5million.
Asked about the appointment spokesman Paddy Power said: “This year, nothing gains interest like Trump. In terms of bets, politics has been more important than golf – even though the opposite is true for Trump.
“It’s only a three-month contract to start with but, let’s face it, could you guarantee Trump (or the world) lasting beyond that?
Head of Trump Betting Joe Lee said: “I haven’t got much experience for this job. A bit like Trump and the Presidency.
“My first role in office will be to take a golfing holiday. If it’s good enough for The Donald…”
