President Barack Obama’s eight cousin Henry Healy place a charity bet on behalf of Paddy Power’s charity of the year, the Irish Heart Foundation, for Obama to win a second term in the White House.
Paddy Power offered Henry €1,000 at an enhanced price of Evens which will net the Irish Heart Foundation €2,000 should the Democrat retain his Presidency.
A spokesperson for Paddy Power told LiveSport.ie “With recent gains in the polls the momentum is very much with Obama at the minute and Henry has a real chance of netting €2,000 for the Irish Heart Foundation.”
President Barack Obama is currently 1/3 favourite to win a second term in the White House while Republican candidate Mitt Romney is the 11/5 outsider.
