TIME Person of the Year Betting Odds: Donald Trump now shortens into just 1/5 to be Person of the Year after winning US Election!

Donald Trump now clear favourite to be crowned TIME Person of the Year

New US President Donald Trump is now the clear favourite to win the TIME Person of the Year award after Betting Sites shortened his odds right down following his US Presidential Election win earlier this month.

Trump was voted in for a second spell in dominant fashion by the United States and now he's set to win the TIME Person of the Year award if the latest betting odds are to be believed.

US Presidents are regular winners of the award with 23 Person of the Year's won by Presidents, 14 of them unique wins, with Barack Obama the last to win for a second time.

All signs point to Trump winning again this year 8 years on from his previous win and the latest odds give an implied probability of 83.3% that he does so.

Trump followed in the market by Doctors, Nurses, First Responders, Health Workers

Doctors, Nurses, First Responders, Health Workers follow Trump in the market to win the TIME Person of the Year award and have been in and around the betting leaders on other occasions too.

2020 saw Doctors, Nurses, First Responders, Health Workers move into big favourites for their work during the Coronavirus Pandemic and now sees them as one of the contenders once again.

The importance that Doctors, Nurses, First Responders and Health Workers have is understated by many and winning such a prestigious award could make many realise how important they are to the world.

Taylor Swift won the TIME Person of the Year award in 2023

Taylor Swift was named TIME's Person of the Year for 2023 after a monumental year that saw her Eras Tour take off and her career reach new heights.

Swift’s 2023 was nothing short of extraordinary, with the Eras Tour launching in March and going on to become a billion-dollar success. 

The tour is still ongoing, with its final North American leg taking place now and finishing next month.

This surge in popularity earned Swift the TIME Person of the Year title last December, and she remains a strong contender this year, with odds of 9/1 for a potential back-to-back win.
