The world’s gambling community is getting in line behind American polls and betting the farm on Joe Biden to win the presidency.
In European markets alone, over $150 million has been staked, and the bets are going more than 2-to-1 for Biden.
In the latest OddsChecker wrap up of betting sites in Europe, where gambling on American political campaigns is legal, the spread has echoed the most extreme polling in the United States.
Currently, OddsChecker spokesperson Pete Watt told Secrets, the betting predicts that Biden has a 69.25% chance of victory compared to Trump’s 33.33%.
“Over $150M has been staked on European political betting markets so far and the closer we get to November 3rd the closer we get to a Democratic victory — or so it seems,” Watt told us Monday morning.
But, in noting that money is still going to Trump, he added, “The gap between Trump and Biden in the betting markets is getting closer in size to the one that has existed in the polls for months, but Biden’s fondness for a gaffe coupled with the learnings of 2016 suggest that to write off the president would be to do so at your peril.”
Just curious.... Why did you post this? And with no comment.
Election Betting and Polling Both Miss Presidential Outcome 2016 for Equal Epic Fail
there are 2 sides to every bet
Call the bank for foreclosure to begin . These fools just lost the farm .
Numbnuts
What was the head count for the Sanford rally last night?
See predictit.org if you want to bet. Trump to win EV is at $0.40 with a $0.95 payout. Trump to win PV is at $0.20 with a $0.95 pay out. In 2016 I bet $830 and got paid $2,775
He is showing us the world believes Biden will win.
MyBookie.ag will also pay out if Trump wins.
Seems the people in the business of taking bets are putting the house money on Biden.
The problem with the Euros is that everything they know comes from the US MSM... That’s why everything they know about the US is so screwed up.
And a lot of FReepers only want positive vibes. They don't like articles that say otherwise.
Truth is though, President Tump doesn't have a problem with FReepers. We're all going to come out in his corner dutifully on Election Day.
The worry is with the people who aren't posting here.
Last I heard the dead don’t worry about getting sick.
Could be an opportunity for Freepers. Ordinarily one ignores the betting at one’s own peril. But when libs are involved in large numbers, betting emotionally (do libs vote any other way?), it’s an opportunity. See LucienCA13’s comment below.
Never bet on a loser up against a winner. Winners find a way to win. Trump has proven he has the right friends upstairs, and the right enemies downstairs.
It’s amazing—I’m in the SF Bay area, and my liberal friends are still afraid to leave the house.
I see why CA sent mail in ballots to everyone. They’ve trained everyone to fear leaving the house.
The problem with the Euros is that everything they know comes from the US MSM.
So true!! I live in Berlin and if all I knew about America was what I heard on the news I would never, ever want to visit. Which makes it fun when one of my German friends travels to the US of A and comes back with wonderful stories of all they saw and did.
Be not afraid
Thank you. And on that note, time for bed—tomorrow is a new day!
