Former US Vice President and Democratic candidate Joe Biden was still the slight favorite at -120.
Dave Mason of BetOnline highlighted the change in odds from prior to the Democratic convention to 24 hours ahead of Thursday night's Trump acceptance speech in which the line has moved dramatically, from Trump +125 to -110.

From the Associated Press:
Trump painted a grim portrait of violence in American cities run by Democrats and populated by voters who largely oppose him. Though his depictions were at odds with the full reality on the ground in those cities, Trump held himself up as the last best hope for keeping lawlessness from reaching suburban communities — the same communities where he needs to stem the tide of voters turning against the Republican Party".
