Got an email from BOL saying action on Trump is the public bet.





BetOnline bettors are banking on an election night upset.


Money is flowing in on President Donald Trump (+160) to get re-elected in what could be the biggest decision ever in our history.


Oddsmakers have released hundreds of betting options which are getting heavy action as election night approaches. Here are some of the most popular props:

• Democrats (-155) vs. Republicans (+115) to control the U.S. Senate
• Over/Under 149.5 million voters in the Presidential Election
• Biden (-185) vs. Trump (+155) to win Pennsylvania
• Biden (-700) vs. Trump (+450) to win the popular vote.

Makes sense, who bets on sports (the reason you would be on the site as opposed to PredictIt)

Mostly white guys, who vote Trump at 2-1 margin. Wouldn't read anything more into it.

fair enough and I really am not reading anything into it, just found it interesting. Guess I could look at it like why would these white male bettors bet it if they did not think it would happen.....or most bettors (like people) are friggin dumb. I do not know which.
