Trump's Biggest Odds Move Since Harris Became Candidate
Monday morning, Donald Trump was the favorite to take the election on November 5, according to the bookmakers.
Fast forward 48 hours and Trump has vaulted to his lowest odds since Kamala Harris entered the race after a flurry of wagers have been placed on the former president.
BetOnline.ag has moved Trump to a -160 favorite while Harris comes back as a +140 underdog, which are easily her highest odds since it became a two-person race.
"We got peppered with a handful of 50k Trump bets during the past two days," BetOnline Brand Manager Dave Mason said. "The odds have been volatile over the past couple of months based on polling and the overall market changes, but this move is largely based on the action we've received of late."
It was only on September 27, less than three weeks ago, that Trump was a +105 underdog (Harris -125 favorite).
BetOnline.ag is reporting that its betting handle for solely the election is already in the eight-figure range. It anticipates that by the time Nov. 5 gets here, the overall cycle handle will be more than what was wagered on last year's Super Bowl.
Here are the current 2024 Presidential Election Odds:
Kamala Harris +140
Donald Trump -160
