It benefits them from having to pay off a (near) certain truth : Obama victory.
Still, would be better if they just suspended betting instead.
EDIT : To clarify, I meant from having to pay off the flood of NEWLY incoming bets flooding for Obama.
If they receive 10,000 bets for Obama, and 500 bets for McCain, then even though the payoff for an Obama bet wouldn't be huge, it would probably still be a losing matter for the bookies.
