Both Dems Favorites Now to Win GA Senate Runoff

An upset is possible in Tuesday's Georgia Senate runoff race, assuming the oddsmakers and betting public are correct.   BETS MUST BE PLACED NO LATER THAN 4 PM ET

BetOnline continues to offer odds on Tuesday's runoff race.

Search traffic to the Gambling911.com for this event was equivalent to that for an NFL or college football championship game overnight Monday.

After opening as favorites, both GOP candidates were now underdogs.

Democrat candidate Raphael Warnock had overtaken Republican incumbant Kelly Loeffler early Monday as the -140 favorite while Democrat Jon Ossoff and Republican incumbant David Perdue were in a -115 dead heat.  By Monday evening, Ossoff was now a -140 favorite and Warnock was a virtual "lock" at -200.  For some perspective, Alabama opened as a -250 favorite versus Ohio State in the upcoming College Football Championship game.

Dave Mason of BetOnline broke down the action with both Democratic candidates seeing better than 60%.

Georgia State runoff bet data:

Raphael Warnock -200 v Kelly Loeffler +160
Warnock opened -140
61% of bettors on Warnock
House needs Loeffler

Jon Ossoff -140 v David Perdue +110
Perdue opened -300
60% of bettors on Ossoff
Both a profit for us but Ossoff bigger despite more bets
