With odds of +100 as recently as August, the betting market is going against the 74-year-old at a terrible time, with less than a month to go until November’s election.
The betting markets are beginning to heavily favour Biden, but still have it tighter than the recent polls, which give off the impression it is even more likely Biden will be the 46th POTUS.
Oddschecker spokesperson Pete Watt: “The race has had what seemed like plenty of nadirs and zeniths for both men, only for the markets to then restabilise. However, time is running out for Trump to turn around the increasing probability that he won’t serve a second term.
“With that said, both the polls and betting market were spectacularly wrong in 2016, so it would be foolish to think is far from a done deal that Biden to be the next tenant of the White House.
