Yes DavR, and it was something of a record as the bookies have an unbelievable strike rate with picking the winner. As we are on a sharemarket/stockmarket forum, would you put your money with a company with a record that has a 99% strike rate or a 1% strike rate? But, markets can fluctuate as Trump was $4.50 after Iowa and is now $2.50. But, since the poster had "no doubts" of Sanders winning the presidency, I think there is enough evidence to show there are at least "some" doubts.
As I said, i don't give a rats who wins the dem nomination. I sort of like seeing Hillary PRETEND that she is honest and PRETEND that she can be more of a socialist than Sanders, so I would LOVE to see Trump go up against her, just for the entertainment value.

The bookies don't pick the winner. The punters set who has the shortest odds. The bookies' odds simply reflect the amount of money put on each candidate.
That's how you make money from the bookies (other punters), working out when the trend is wrong.
