Top Trending Gambling News: Oddsmakers Talk Midterms as Ohio Governor's Race Gets Ugly

OAKLAND PARK, Fla. (Gambling911.com) - Today, we are delivering the outlook of what oddsmakers are projecting for the end result on November 3.

Vegas is wrong sometimes, of course, but they don't keep building sky rises in Sin City because city taxes are high. So, at the end of the day, this is the best measure as to what is likely to happen.

BetOnline's political oddsmaker, Paul Krishnamurty, had this to say regarding what he expects to happen in less than two weeks:

"There is very little to indicate a GOP comeback. Trump's approvals - overall and on key matters such as inflation, gas prices, corruption and now Ukraine - are disastrous. The elections seem largely a referendum on him, and his actions are making things worse. At least as likely as a GOP comeback is a Blue Tsunami, in which their ultra-motivated voters turn out in record numbers, while the GOP base is either apathetic or lending votes to Democrats or third parties. In that scenario, seats like Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska become realistic gains, resulting in a 55-45 Senate."

Which party will win the most House seats?

Democrats -1600 (94.7% chance)

Republicans +800

How many House seats will Democrats win?

Over/Under 237.5

Which party will control the Senate?

Democrats -210 (67.7% chance)

Republicans +170

How many Senate seats will Republicans win?

Over/Under 47.5

Florida Gambling Helpline Director Sentenced to Nearly 10 years Over $1.4m Theft to Fund Addiction

Philip Sullivan, who sought to rebuild his life after gambling addiction, was convicted of stealing from real-estate employer. Bay county, Florida, authorities charged Philip Sullivan in March 2024 with stealing $1.4m from the Panama City Beach real-estate company for which he was the chief financial officer, Royal American, as local news outlets WMBB and WJHG had previously reported. An internal audit revealing numerous company credit card transactions that were unauthorized thrust Sullivan under scrutiny. He ultimately pleaded no contest to a half-dozen felony charges of grand theft on 16 October, when the Florida state judge Timothy Register adjudicated him guilty and sentenced him to nine years, eight and a half months in prison, court records show.
