Election Betting Odds Have Flipped To Favor Trump, Expert Says by Emedu(op): 6:40am On Nov 04, 2020

President Donald Trump is now favored to win the election based on an average of betting websites, an expert told Fox News Tuesday.

Within the past few hours, the website, electionbettingodds.com, created by Maxim Lott and John Stossel, recently flipped its averaged betting odds in favor of Trump.

"He hasn't won yet, but it's looking like he might," Lott told Fox News Tuesday night.

Lott said betting odds on his site this morning, which are averaged from other gambling websites, had Trump as just a 38% favorite to win the election. As of 11 p.m., Trump is more than a 70% favorite. Democratic presdiential candidate Joe Biden currently stands at just under 30%.

"I was surprised though to see it flip so quickly," he added.

Lott created a program on his website that every minute goes to different gambling sites, including FTX.com, Smarkets, and Betfair to check what the odds are.

He said the site was created in 2015 with the belief that markets and are the best predictor of what's going to happen because "they have an incentive to get it right."

While experts had Biden as the clear favorite to win the election, Lott said this year made things a bit more unpredictable.

I always thought, and I said this before the election, that they were overconfident -- because 2020 is such a crazy year," he said. "You can't predict things."

He said that polls could be off because of shy voters and social pressure against Trump voters right now. He added that another ex-factor people may have not been looking at was mail-in ballots.

Still, Lott said the betting odds could flip back to Biden. He described the former vice president's chances as flipping a coin two times and getting heads both times.

That's about the chance it flips back to the former Vice President," he continued.

I dont understand how the votes are counted.
All I'm praying is that may the counsel of the wicked not stand. May the rod of the wicked not stand on the righteous.
Anything the Most High has forBIDDEN be left at that.
At the end may the TRUMP sound

These voting maps make my head spin. “If people with blonde hair dropped off a mail in ballot on Thursday, then Trump will win, but if cat owners vote in person, then Biden will win.”

Take it or leave it...

A country like America seriously needs a man like Trump...

They are angered by the fact that trump is unbendable to their rants...

Many celebrities in America criticizing trump can never make America better if they are in the seat of power.

I saw one of them said trump imported corona virus to America...

I thought Americans are different but unfortunately many reason poorly like Nigerians...

Trump is one smart motherfucker that knows what he is doing..

And the truth be told, Trump is not racist, all that are people who hate him for not giving them freedom to iniquity.

Trump rules like a king, he makes the decision, he is not the type that does eveyothing the people ask...

He does the right thing and any thing that doesn't feel right is felt out and he is never afraid to tell you that something is wrong or doesnt make sense

By the way

Fellow Nigerian youths, you must read this book if we wish to win the next election

Definitely.
A study of past elections suggests anyone that wins Ohio wins the elections.
Big congratulations to Trump.

Some fools here were busy drafting how Biden was gonna floor Trump with a Big margin forgetting that They're not Americans and Americans are not them

My only Joy right now is that I never wasted my time, space and knowledge dragging points with them. sad
