For anyone not familiar with how the odds or "price" works, a -125 would be a favorite, the +125 would be an underdog.  For example, if you wanted to say that the option with a -125 will happen, you would 'bet' $125 to win $100 (and you'd be refunded your original $125 upon winning).  If you wanted the option with a +125, you would 'bet' $100 to win $125 (you'd also be refunded your original $100 upon winning).  Or you could say, you'd risk $12.50 to win $10 or risk $10 to win $12.50.

 

I found some of those odds and options interesting.

I'm a little surprised to see those odds in Florida, as Biden has been up slightly in the polls. Georgia too.

Although I think Trump will probably win Ohio, but I'd take those odds.

I could get Georgia and Florida being favored Republican due to history, maybe the odds are more reflective of that.

If I could bet I would lay 650 to win 100 that Trump will not win every state he won before.  Probably a better value would be laying 260 on Trump to lose every state he lost before.  I would also lay 650 on Biden winning the popular vote.  Actually I would risk 1300 to win 200 on that one.  Steep odds I know, but it's a slam dunk right?

 

Would be fun if some people wanted to chime in with some pretend bets before the results tonight.

No taker here, it was only 72 short years ago (in relative history) that the Nov 3 Chicago Tribune headline blared “Dewey Defeats Truman” - too much of a standoff for me, also too many X factors

outcome won’t be known til later this week

Well that's no fun. You have a hypothetical $100 to wager in the above choices. What would you pick?  How about a Senate race?

I'd bet on Hickenlooper too. Huge price but almost free money right?

It does seem like a near sure thing. I can't imagine how he could lose that one, but its a lot to risk for so little. I'd take Biden to win Florida. No guarantee, but I like the payout vs the risk.

Biden -275 now. Could've got some great odds on Biden last night when the odds makers and bettors didn't understand the amount of mail-in votes yet to be counted in states he was/is leading in. 

I don't bet online but I think I might in the future. Hickenlooper was as easy as it gets and while the price was high, not as high as say betting on McConnell or something.  

im surprised nobody else wanted to discuss any of this.

I bet that 48  to 52% will be unhappy with the eventual outcome.  The other way around, too.
