Trump Flips to Favorite Due to Betting Patterns; Musk's Wagers
Just like sports, betting patterns and volume can manipulate who is perceived as the favorite and underdog in political elections.
The wagering or who is labeled as the favorite or underdog by bookmakers does not have any impact on the election result itself. We've seen underdogs win (Trump over Clinton) and we've seen favorites win (Obama over Romney), just like we do in sports.
BetOnline.ag is reporting that Trump has flipped back to the favorite position on Monday morning. The North-American platform is seeing the same kind of large wagers as other global betting exchanges.
Here are the current 2024 Election odds:
