Wanna Bet?

“People who bet Trump say it is not over. People who bet Biden say it is. This makes for a tricky situation where we have to be sure. It’s not like a football game,”

President Donald Trump has not yet conceded in the 2020 presidential election, and bookmakers who took bets on the winner aren’t ready to call the race, either.

Online gambling sites have yet to call Biden “president-elect,” which has put millions of dollars in wagers in limbo. “At one site alone, London-based Betfair, nearly $600 million in presidential wagers are hanging tight,” the New York Post reported.

“We still have not graded a winner,” Adam Burns, sportsbook manager of BetOnline, told the Post, adding that a call awaits resolution on the Trump campaign’s legal wranglings. “People who bet Trump say it is not over. People who bet Biden say it is. This makes for a tricky situation where we have to be sure. It’s not like a football game,” Burns said.

And that’s left lots of money in the kitty. “The presidential election was bigger than the Super Bowl, which is normally our biggest event of the year,” said Burns. “We kept taking action, with fluctuating odds for a few days after the election. But now the bet is [no longer available] and we’re hoping for an official decision.”

One thought on “Wanna Bet?”

  1. I have not given up. Trump is a gift from God. It will get investigated and he will come out on top.
    We need to remember that Joe Biden has dementia which is the precursor to Alzheimer’s disease. I know, I lived it with my Mother.
    Then the Kamala Harris will be our President. Lordy, goodbye U.S. A.
