Election Betting Odds

By Maxim Lott and John Stossel

A POLITICO/Morning Consult poll in August 2019 found that 91% of Democrats supported stricter gun laws in general. More specifically, 86% of Democrats were in favor of banning assault-style weapons, 87% favored background checks on all gun sales, 77% favored banning high-capacity magazines, and 85% favored mental health standards for gun purchases. On the other hand, what if the odds that Kamala Harris will win the election are +135. If you bet $100 on Harris to win, you win $135 and get back the original $100 bet. When the 2020 election odds are +135 that means oddsmakers give the Democrats a 42.55% chance of winning the election. The return on the wager is higher.

Remaining Candidates Still Alive In The 2020 Presidential Race

Relatively early on, the Presidential candidates were finally narrowed down to just two, Joe Biden and Donald Trump. The Democratic field started with 27 candidates, but the field has slowly eroded away to the remaining candidate. Other Third-Party candidates and Independents were expected to run (and did so), but there were only two real candidates for the 2020 Presidential election. You can find valuable information on those two nominees and other potential candidates in our political news section.

With the 2020 general election all but over, it appears that Biden has the edge on Trump to win the White House. The results are sure to be contested, and you can bet that there will be plenty of betting lines and props on all the intrigue that's headed our way in the aftermath of November 3.

FAQ's Related To The Presidential Race

Vegas odds on the Presidential election have been a highly sought after commodity this year, and as the November 3rd Election Day neared, gamblers were becoming even more active on political betting lines.

Political wagering involves unique nuances and distinctions that other betting markets do not touch on and taps into a very personal and emotional segment of the wagering experience for American gamblers. Never before has a United States Presidential election been so volatile or included such controversy, and this could be the new norm.

Record-breaking early voting statistics are both a result of the most dramatic Presidential election in American history and a big influencer on the odds boards. The following are some of the most frequently asked questions concerning Vegas odds on the 2020 Presidential election and how bettors can participate in this popular trend that is taking the gambling entertainment industry by storm.

As long as your are placing your bets at a legally licensed and regulated online sportsbooks located outside of the United States, then yes, it is perfectly legal for US gamblers to bet on the 2020 Vegas election odds and all other election lines. The sportsbooks featured in this guide are all operating legally within the industry and offer legitimate wagering opportunities to American bettors. There are no US federal laws that prohibit Americans from enjoying online political betting at a legal online sports betting site that holds the proper credentials and operates overseas.

Unless you live in the state of Washington or Connecticut, state gambling laws do not make it illegal to participate in licensed online political betting from offshore destinations. However, the anti-online-betting laws in WA and CT are historically unenforced, though you proceed at your own risk.

Note: You will currently not find election odds at domestic Vegas sportsbooks or other physical or online venues based in the US. However, it usually isn't technically illegal for these books to offer political lines. Instead, state gaming regulators are simply reticent to offer such lines to the public. That's why offshore betting remains your best bet for political wagering.

You will find that the Vegas odds on the Presidential election do not always line up with the latest polls released by various media outlets. This is due to several reasons. First, the polls are often manipulated and manufactured in order to influence public perception and sway the masses. Secondly, political polls simply are not reliable due to the many variables involved in authentic polling and tracking.

When the oddsmakers are determining the relevant and current odds, they use a more effective and well-rounded series of data and research to reflect the actual pulse of the American voting public. It is in their best interest to achieve a clear and concise understanding of how the voters are leaning in order to ensure the integrity of the betting action and to minimize their risks. In many ways, the Vegas betting odds for who will win the Presidency are more reliable than any political poll.

Democratic Polls Odds 2020

While you will certainly find Vegas odds on who will become the next President of the United States, you will also find betting odds and lines that cover a host of other categories, including the following:

• Which party will win the election
• Which candidate and which party will win the popular vote
• What percentage of the vote each candidate will receive
• How many states each candidate will win
• Which side individual states will fall on
• Presidential impeachment and removal

These are just a few of the samples that you’ll find. Various political props bets have also emerged as the Presidential debates took place.

While a simple Google search will yield various odds results, we recommend that you only consider the input of industry professionals. We strongly urge you to limit your betting action to only those online sportsbook destinations that have been vetted and approved by experienced analysts, such as the team that created this guide. In addition to verifying the legitimacy and quality of each sportsbook brand, we also analyze the betting odds, lines and paylines to ensure they are comparable with the Vegas bookmakers' consensus.

You will notice that if you compare the lines at the sportsbooks we recommend, you'll see different odds for the same categories and races. Most legitimate participants in the industry will usually all be pretty close to each other in terms of the odds, though you can sometimes find major outliers that can carry a nice 'presidential' profit. That's why we always recommend signing up at multiple books and shopping lines to find the best prices on every wager.

Just be careful of odds that look too good to be true, like a yuge payout on Donald Trump to win in 2020. Any book offering large positive moneylines on a Trump win are to be avoided. Remember: Questionable sportsbooks will offer unrealistic odds and betting lines to attract players in an effort to defraud or steal from them. Betting on politics online is very safe, as long as you are diligent and selective in where you place your bets.

Yes, you can vote for any candidate, regardless of your political affiliation or leanings. In fact, we encourage you not to limit your betting action to only those candidates that you would vote for. You may hate the front runner or love the underdog, and in both cases you would ‘feel’ in opposition to the odds. The odds are mathematically calculated predictions that may very well not line up with your personal preferences, but they show where the public is betting, and elections are public events.

The point of gambling is to win money, not to take a political stance. Using your voice to make a difference is what the voting booth is for, not the betting lines. Apply the odds logically to your specific strategy, whether you love going with long shots or playing it safe.
