Trump favourite to win US election, according to BCLC

Donald Trump is the favourite to win the US election, according to the BCLC.

The Republican has odds of 1.66, compared with Kamala Harris’s 2.15.

That means a $10 bet on the former president would pay out $16.60 if he’s once again given the keys to the White House.

A successful $10 wager on the Democratic candidate, meanwhile, would net a gambler $21.50.

The election, which polls suggest will be unusually tight, is set to be held tomorrow.

BCLC, which promoted its odds in a news release this morning, is also offering odds on four of the swing states that will determine the outcome of the vote.

Trump has shorter odds in North Carolina and all-important Pennsylvania, while Harris is the favourite in Michigan and Wisconsin.

According to the latest polls out of the US, the two candidates are just about deadlocked.

The election is expected to be decided by just a handful of states: Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, North Carolina, Nevada and Georgia.

Trump is narrowly ahead in them all, except for Michigan and Wisconsin, according to poll aggregator site RealClearPolling.

BC pollster Mario Canseco, meanwhile, told NowMedia on Friday he thinks the race is too close to call.

The BCLC said the 2020 US election was the “single biggest betting event” in the history of its PlayNow platform.

More than 16,000 bets worth $4.5 million were wagered on the outcome.
