What Are The Betting Odds On The Us Presidential Election?

[sandyRoe]

Bookies seem to be pretty fair judges of such events.

Biden 10/11, Trump 11/10 at 888.
However, if you are a new customer, you can get 9/1 on both candidates but there will be terms and conditions and probably a restriction on the stake.

[bednobs]

this is why I don't bet. I have no idea which one is better, or if I put a tenner on how much I might get

[Togo]

If I remember correctly in 2016 the bokkies had Clinton as overwhelming favourite and the "polls" were showing something like 83% Clinton 13% Trump. The rest as they say is history.

[Cloverjo]

Bednobs, if you put £10 on 11/10 you’d get back your stake plus £11 winnings.
£10 on 10/11 would give you 10x10/11 =£9.09 plus your stake.

In other words, its as close as it could be to a dead heat.

yeah christ it would have been better if the polls had been right

[jourdain2]

I'm still saving my £20 until the odds improve. I reckon Trump will win the popular vote, but who knows with all the postal votes? In UK I very much believe that postal votes should be banned except in very specific areas, just as they used to be. (P.S. Kids used to tell me about elders visiting homes and collecting their papers for postal votes.)

Thanks, buen. Not worth a bet yet really.

Is that any different to members of the political parties collecting people and driving them to the polling stations Jourdain?

[THECORBYLOON]

There is a difference since the folk driven to the polling station vote in person but collected postal ballots could be binned.

Very much different if the elders collected the blank postal slips from family members and filled their favourite candidates name in. Happens quite a lot in Tower Hamlets and similar areas.

[Jackdaw33]

Of course it is different. You cannot influence how someone votes at the ballot box.
