Paddy Power hire Farage for Trump betting markets

You may think it is an April fool joke but it is serious Paddy Power have hired former UKIP leader Nigel Farage as their face for the recruitment drive for a new Head of Trump betting.

 

Farage will also advise on all Trump focused betting markets and who better than Farage as he is seen as a friend of the newly elected President.

 

It seems Paddy Power who got hit hard by betting on the Brexit and Trump elections by not spotting the election trends are not in the mood to get done again and they see Farage as their secret weapon.

 

Paddy Power are known for their sometimes outrageous marketing stunts and this one is right up there with their best.

 

Farage said of his new role, “So the Irish bookmaker lost $4.5million (£3.6million) on Trump’s election last year – another example of EU-based idiocy.

 

“Clearly, Paddy Power needs help – and independence from the anti-Trump narrative that has dogged their thinking recently.

 

“As the only British politician with a direct line to the Donald – sorry, Theresa! – I’m the perfect man to lead this recruitment intiative.

 

“For instance, given the Donald’s blistering start to his time in office, I’ve recommended that Paddy Power scrap their impeachment market – it’s clearly not going to happen.”

It is not the first time Paddy Power have hired Farage back in 2014 they used him for advertising push for golfs Ryder Cup and at the same time have a dig at the UK’s vote to leave the EU.
