Betting markets are lining up to show former President Donald Trump with a winning lead over Kamala Harris in the 2024 race for the White House.
The Republican currently has a -145 line on BetOnline, compared to Harris’s +125. A negative line means that bookmakers believe the odds favor that person to win, the Independent notes.
Other sites show a similar shift to Trump over his Democratic rival with 20 days to go until polling.
Fox News reports after favoring Harris for two straight months, traders on PredictIt have now flipped for Trump, mirroring other betting markets that show the former president is the odds-on favorite to win the election.

The ontological shock when Trump wins is going to be too much for many of these weirdos.

Trump is right though. This needs to be TOO BIG TO RIG!
There can’t be any room to cheat!
There can’t be any way for the network karens to claim the were irregularities when Trump slightly wins and then those freaking hipocrites start calling for lawyers and delegates not to certify.
If you want to enjoy the taste of your enemies tears in November, this has to be a complete and utter runaway.
I will have to buy more popcorn. :)
Might also have to buy a new raincoat to protect myself from all the leftists’ heads exploding. :)
Yup
How reliable are “betting markets”?
Betting markets are more reliable than polls, because they take the possibilities of fraud into account. In 2020 Trump had a winning lead for a majority of electoral votes in the polls, but the betting markets stubbornly favored Biden, and they were correct.
While I like your optimism, let’s not get caught up in another “Red Wave” head fake.
Yea, I remember Bush/Gore.....The betting markets had Gore with a commanding lead 2 hours into election night coverage.
Agree.
To all Freepers: All I can say is VOTE!!! Ignore all the polls, noise, news (real or fake), and VOTE!!!
Especially Christians and Second Amendment supporters. For some reason they vote at low levels. To them: VOTE!!!
The Democrats are already talking about not certifying the election if Trump wins.
its all about the electoral college and Penn in particular.
“Do these markets bet on nationwide popular vote totals...or on Electoral votes?”
Good question. BetOnline is primarily for sports betting. Thus one would think it is a bet on who wins. But how did they arrive at a so-called win? I would think these people know how a candidate wins.
That’s fantastic! But it all boils down to one life or death POLL…. The November 5th POLL! 🙏🏻
Here is some presidential betting odds history.
I don’t remember that episode from 2000. I do remember 2004 when an erroneous exit poll from Ohio caused the betting odds to favor Kerry for hours on election day. At the time I was sorry I didn’t have a betting account open to take advantage.
Here is an article on the history of presidential election polls: https://www.bookmakersreview.com/politics/predictions/betting-odds-predict-presidential-election/
Liberals are planning their demonstrations as we speak!
Well, OK but remember that the “betting markets” said that Mrs. Bill Clinton had such a commanding lead in 2016 that they paid off bets for her even before the election.
Some thought she’d be the first person to win all 50 states.
