Where to go for best odds on US election?

[g4ry13]

Trump is 7.

I might be bonkers here but the outside chance some of the results get overturned make it a bit tempting. Although I think the above odds are not great value but admittedly have not followed the updates today.

I'd say mental age, but that would be overstating things and an insult to most 7 year olds.

I'm in for a few hundred quid on Biden at 1.57. I'm tempted to go for another bet even though he's at 1.16 ish now. The margins he seems to have, plus the fact that the postal votes strongly favour him, seems to suggest that he's a dead cert.

Trump is @ 13.00 with Bet365 now...

17 on betfair.

May as well bet on Elvis landing on the Loch Ness monster at this point.

I've watched the Trump odds go from 25 to 19. I'm half tempted to chuck a few £ at it in the unlikely scenario some magic happens in court.

But it hasn't been concluded... the bet is still active.

I think most of the US and rest of the world think it it has though.

But we are all free to dream.

So what happens if Trump is successful in the courts? (and don't say "he won't be". George Clooney and a host of others said the same in 2016). Yes it's unlikely, but not so unlikely that it's inconceivable.

That bet is still on, fact.

I put £5 on Biden to win by at least 30. If it works out I get £22.50.

£22.50 - come on!! I'll be livin' the dream.

[g4ry13]

Trump now at 15.5

I guess there's a few other crazy people out there thinking an outside shot exists where Trump gets this through the courts.

I bet on the dems to win, months and months ago.

I've been paid, they've settled the bet.

Well they are extreemley foolish! They might need to ask for their money back!

AFAIK the small print on bets was "first to 270 on the electoral college"

Not "winner after legal challenges"

[deeps]

The betting markets are still open as there has been no winner despite what mainstream media is broadcasting.

President Trump is now available to back at around odds of 13/1, which could be a shrewd back as I expect that price to shorten in the coming days (to lay off at lower odds) as the court cases start to gather momentum in various states. Don't expect to see coverage on mainstream media though.

Anyone who thinks Biden is a certainty, he's available to back at around 1.08 on Betfair Exchange, I expect that to drift over the coming week.

Interesting investment opportunities

[g4ry13]

I was looking at Trump when he was 24/1 and thinking whether it was a good value bet.

On balance, I think his % chance of winning is worse than the odds gave but probably should have chucked a few £ at it as an insurance policy.

[cqueen]

The media have doubled down on their hit job of Trump. So even when things do start looking good for him, don't expect to be told about it.

£600m matched now.
