AUSTIN, Texas (Gambling911.com ) - Forget all the polls. The gambling sites have spoken with less than 24 hours to go until Election Day votes start pouring in. And the winner is? According to the oddsmakers at least, Democrat James Talarico is a near "lock" to win the Texas Senate race over Republican Ken Paxton. If you still believe in Paxton, he now pays $240 for every $100 bet to win at BetOnline.
Texas Senate
Ken Paxton +240
James Talarico -300
(Odds imply a 75% probability Talarico wins)
Talarico has moved up a whole point in the odds since the end of last week.
This weekend, BetOnline said it took more bets on the Talarico-Paxton race than any NFL team to win its game this weekend.
And of the 115 college football games played this week, only 20 of them took more money than what the Talarico-Paxton matchup has seen.
When adding up the amount of money wagered on the hundreds of midterms markets at BetOnline, the current total is larger than what was bet on Sunday Night Football last night.
Dave Mason, BetOnline Brand Manager, revealed solid 2-way action on each of the Texas candidates coming in Monday morning.
$10,000 Talarico -270
$5,000 Talarico -270
$5,000 Paxton +240
