    Election 2020: Betting markets see Trump losing as battlegrounds shift toward Biden




    Predictive markets overwhelmingly favor Democrat Joe Biden to emerge victorious in Tuesday’s general election, even as President Donald Trump narrows the polling gap in key competitive states, with his chances bolstered by diehard investors.

    During a volatile race in which oddsmakers have plowed over $1 billion into speculating on the eventual winner of the Oval Office, betting markets continue to give the former vice president the inside track, while Trump’s chances of being reelected appear less probable.

    Smarkets investors give Biden a nearly 2-in-3 chance (65%) to be inaugurated, while a Real Clear Politics average shows similar odds, reflecting the former VP’s formidable lead in public opinion polls.

    I have half my sports betting roll on Biden. If he doesn't win I'm calling it as rigged.

    If anyone is going to bet on Biden straight up I'd definitely shop around. He is 1.45 on Betfair Exchange but you can get him at 1.48 on the kambi sites (888, Grosvenor, etc).

    Gamblers abandon Joe Biden overnight and make Donald Trump the odds-on favourite to win US election after he performed better than pollsters predicted in early results



    Donald Trump has emerged odds-on favourite to win the US election according to bookmakers, as gamblers abandoned Joe Biden overnight to place a flurry of bets on the President.

    Can't believe how quickly the market has flipped back on Betfair.

    It now has Biden @ 1.78 & Trump @ 2.4.

    Extraordinary turnaround. Is that all on the back of Wisconsin? Think Winsconsin is 10 (electoral College) votes?

    Ye it's Winconsin and NV because now we only need one of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia or North Carolina to swing to Biden. The money is saying that one is likely to swing but my god it's sweaty.

    I've been checking the odds on individual states.
    Pennsylvania,Georgia, Wisconsin and Michigan for the last hour on skybet.
    And watching BBC and checking a few websites for facts and figures.

    Wisconsin and Michigan were both 6/4 for Dems with reports that Biden had a very good chance of victory despite being behind on in person votes.

    Got on Michigan at 13/8
    Just missed out on Wisconsin before it was suspended and changed.

    Michigan now 4/7😁
    Wisconsin now 2/7😠

    Prices are back to pretty much exactly where they were before the big swing over night. Biden at 1.48 and dropping every minute.
