29. The odds still favor Biden

Sat Oct 31, 2020, 10:08 PM

Oct 2020

People are voting against the odds because the payoff is bigger.

Currently, Biden is a -180 favorite while Trump is a +160 underdog, with BetOnline reporting that just under 70% of the handle has come in on Trump. While the money is backing a Trump repeat, Biden holds slight edge at 54% of total wagers.
