2020 US Presidential Election Odds
As November looms ever closer the betting on the 2020 US Election odds market intensifies. The Democratic party were very active in the media last week, however, it was in fact Donald Trump who had the most positive week in the odds market.
As we’ve mentioned previously, Donald Trump was the long-time betting favorite in the 2020 US Election betting market, however, he was displaced at the top of the market by Joe Biden in late May. Last Monday, Donald Trump’s odds to win the 2020 US Election implied he had a 41.7% chance, which was a significant improvement from numbers recorded in July. However, in the space of seven days, Trump’s election chances have increased from 41.7% to 44.4%.
Donald Trump’s current election odds are the shortest they’ve been since the 18th of June.
| Candidate | Odds (UK Format) | Odds (US Format) | Implied Percentage Chance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Joe Biden | 4/5 | -125 | 55.6% |
| Donald Trump | 5/4 | +125 | 44.4% |
Joe Biden’s odds haven’t actually changed over the last week despite the significant shortening of Trump’s odds.
