Submit a comment on one of our US election blog posts to win a free £100 politics bet! 

William Hill, one of the world’s largest online bookmakers, is calling on political punters to join in our US election debate – and we’re offering a free £100 politics bet to the person who submits the best comment to this 2008 US presidential election website.

We set up the site in January 2008 to provide news, party and candidate information and live betting odds on the race for the White House – and now we want to hear your opinion on the issues around the presidential contest.

We want to create an online forum where punters can share their views on election betting and swap tips about how they see the race progressing. The 2008 election is the most gripping presidential race for years and, thanks to the tight contest between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, is generating debate in pubs, offices and other meeting places around the world.

We make Barack the favourite ahead of John McCain – but we’d love to hear if and why you think we’ve got it wrong.

How to win the free bet
Make your comment by filling in the form at the foot of one of our William Hill blog posts (read an example post and comment here). You’ll need to give us your name and a valid email address.

The free bet will go to the person who, in the opinion of the William Hill judges, makes the best comment on the website – whether serious, funny, insightful or philosophical or whatever. Comments will be moderated and may be edited, and submitting a comment does not guarantee that it will be published on the US election website.

The £100 free bet will take the form of a £100 win single which must be placed on the outcome of a political event quoted in William Hill’s online Sportsbook. The £100 will be credited to the winning entrant’s William Hill online betting account – meaning the winner will need to open an account if they don’t already have one.

The competition is subject to William Hill terms and conditions.
