US election betting: Sportsbet pays out on Joe Biden win early. Even though counting is still going, a major Aussie betting site has declared Joe Biden the winner and is paying out punters already. November 5, 2020 2:21pm. Donald Trump has declared himself the winner of the 2020 presidential election and called for "all voting to stop" in remarks delivered live from the White House on .

A bookmaker has declared a Joe Biden victory, already paying out on bets for him to become the next US President. Sportsbet tweeted the announcement just after 11am Australian time, even though the election is yet to be officially called by anyone. The betting agency has paid out $23 million on election bets, but says it is still taking bets on who will win the presidential race. The betting site had Biden at $1.10 and Trump at $6.50 but odds has been shifting dramatically over the past 48 hours. Just yesterday afternoon, there was a huge swing to Trump, whose odds plummeted to a narrow $1.22. But this morning, things wildy swung back in favour of Biden as the race narrows in key battleground states. This is how Australian bookies were tracking this morning. Basically, it means for every $1 you put on that candidate, you would get the below in return if they win. HERE ARE THE LATEST ODDS AT 2:30PM: Scroll below to see how they compared to last night. Joe Biden is firming up in betting odds to become the next president as polls close in the US election. Picture: Jim Watson/AFP Source:AFP. In 2016, Trump was $2.35 before markets closed ahead of the election. Biden’s highest price was $26 in February this year. The US election has been so popular for TAB that it will hold more money for the historical event than the AFL or NRL Grand Finals and it’s the same situation for Sportsbet. RECORD BREAKING BET. Over in the UK, a British businessman is so confident Trump will win that he has placed a record breaking bet on the president staying in the White House. The mystery former banker used private bookies registered in the Caribbean to place a bet of $5 million ($A6.97m), with odds of 37/20, on Trump’s win, according to The Sun . If he is successful, the businessman could be taking home almost $15 million ($A20.9m). A betting industry source told the publication the bet was believed to be “the biggest ever made on politics”. While most indicators predict a Biden victory, if 2016 taught us anything, it’s that there’s no such thing as a shoo-in. There has been a huge rush in bets on the US election, providing some major clues about what to expect from one of the most crucial votes in recent history when it comes to the polls – and the betting agencies. WHAT DID THE POLLS SAY? On election eve in the US, there had been a flurry of last-minute polling, with the Des Moines Register poll showing Trump beating Biden 48 per cent to 41 in Iowa – a massive swing from its previous survey, which had the race tied. A poll of New Mexico from The Albuquerque Journal , which showed Mr Biden winning 54-42, was in line with the conventional wisdom that New Mexico was a little too Democrat-leaning these days to be considered a proper swing state. The latest batch of New York Times /Siena polls covered four different states. Those polls showed Biden up 49-43 in Arizona, 52-41 in Wisconsin, 47-44 in Florida and 49-43 in Pennsylvania. An EPIC-MRA poll of Michigan had the Democrat leading 48-41. Another, conducted by St Pete, showed him winning Florida by a razor-thin 49-48 margin. And finally, a pair of ABC News/ Washington Post surveys had Biden up 51-44 in Pennsylvania, but Trump winning Florida 50-48. The odds are in Joe Biden’s favour. Picture: Drew Angerer/Getty Images/AFP Source:AFP. WHAT ARE THE ODDS? Democratic hopeful Joe Biden has been the clear favourite across the major betting sites in the lead-up to the election. But as the vote continued into the night, odds switched back in favour of Donald Trump. Many believe betting odds offer a more accurate election prediction than polls, as people have invested their own hard-earned cash in the outcome. These were the odds according to some of the major betting agencies, as of November 4 at 6.30pm, so you can see how much they’ve shifted.

After a three-card stint on “Fight Island,” the Octagon returns to UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, this Saturday (Feb. 6, 2021) with a pivotal Heavyweight clash in tow. In UFC Vegas 18’s main event, the venerable Alistair Overeem puts his two-fight win streak on the line against perennial contender Alexander “Drago” Volkov. Down at 135 pounds, former Lightweight champion, Frankie Edgar, looks to make it two straight at Cory Sandhagen’s expense and The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) winner, Macy Chiasson, faces Marion Reneau. It’s a fine return to action after two weeks away, and one we can profit from. Here’s how: UFC continues its live events schedule from Las Vegas on Feb. 6 with its “Overeem vs. Volkov”-led fight card available to stream RIGHT HERE — don’t miss a single second of face-punching action! Up Next! ‘Reem Team Heads Back To Vegas! What Went Wrong at UFC 257 ? Too many eggs in one painfully inconsistent basket. I really should have known better than to trust Khalil Rountree, even against the likes of Marcin Prachnio. In my defense, the article came out before his weight cut issues came to light. It’s a damn shame about Dan Hooker, though. It still shocks me that Michael Chandler was able to floor him with one punch when Dustin Poirier carpet-bombed “The Hangman” to no effect. I’m slapping an extra hypothetical $300 onto the hypothetical money pile. Let’s turn this around . UFC Vegas 18 Odds For The Undercard: Predictions! UFC Vegas 18 ‘Prelims’ Preview - Pt. 1. Predictions! UFC Vegas 18 ‘Prelims’ Preview - Pt. 2. Thoughts: As one-sided as it is, this undercard is full of bargains, namely Timur Valiev, Lara Procopio and Youssef Zalal. Valiev was almost even money against initial foe Julio Arce, and while -335 is a far cry from -125, he’s still worth an investment. The guy’s still an incredible fighter despite that debut loss, and Day has dropped three straight. Valiev has the kickboxing skill to keep up on the feet and is by far the better wrestler, making him a safe investment. Molly McCann’s defensive wrestling has failed her in both of her Octagon losses, and she’s largely had to rely on her offensive wrestling against low-level Flyweights in her wins. Not only is Procopio significantly superior on the mat, but she’s a skilled enough striker to hold her own a weight class up against Karol Rosa. She’s fefinitely a solid underdog investment. Seung Woo Choi has fought two quality UFC opponents (Movsar Evloev and Gavin Tucker) and one very, very bad one (Suman Mokhtarian), The quality duo combined to land 10 takedowns on him, and considering Zalal’s willingness and ability to drag opponents to the mat, that’s a death sentence. Choi doesn’t even figure to have much of an edge on the feet, as Zalal’s length, durability, and savvy make landing a knockout shot a borderline impossible task. “The Moroccan Devil” should be a much larger favorite, so make sure you’re in position to punish the bookies for their error. UFC Vegas 18 Odds For The Main Card: Edgar Believes Finish Over Sandhagen Earns Him UFC Title Shot. Reem Will ‘Retire Immediately’ After Winning Title. Thoughts: Alistair Overeem, Alexandre Pantoja and Cody Stamann are your investments of choice. I’m genuinely not clear on why Alexander Volkov is the favorite against Overeem. That’s because “Drago’s” best wins came over Fabricio Werdum and Walt Harris, both of whom Overeem also defeated, and looks to struggle against the Dutchman’s mobile striking offense. On top of that, Volkov has yet to fully address the grappling issues that have plagued him throughout his UFC career, presenting another tempting target for the well-rounded Overeem. In short, the veteran is a definitely worth your time. Manel Kape has looked like a monster in his last few Rizin bouts, but those came against opponents willing to oblige him in the stand up. The last time he faced a capable grappling specialist, “Ulka” Sasaki dominated him on the mat. Pantoja is tough as nails and a hugely dangerous submission artist, giving him the tools necessary to spoil Kape’s Octagon debut. Stamann, meanwhile, was -310 against Andre Ewell, which if anything undersold the stylistic nightmare he posed to “Mr. Highlight.” He’s still a bargain at -380 against Octagon newcomer Askar Askar, not to be confused with Flyweight contender Askar Askarov. Askar is an okay wrestler with painfully bad striking defense that Stamann should have little issue exploiting, making “The Spartan” a reliable anchor. UFC Vegas 18 Best Bets: Parlay — Youssef Zalal and Alistair Overeem: Bet $40 to make $107.20 Parlay — Timur Valiev and Lara Procopio: Bet $30 to make $61.50 Parlay — Cody Stamann and Alexandre Pantoja: Bet $40 to make $49.20.

Stream all the fights broadcast LIVE RIGHT HERE — don’t miss a single second of face-punching action! Volkov’s straight up moneyline is currently holding a favored cost of -200, with a winning $100 bet paying out $150 altogether. Sure, Alexander Volkov has alternated wins and losses in his last-five appearances, which starts to raise consistency questions, but he has still won eight out of his last ten matches. He’s also tougher than a $2 steak. Vitaly Minakov caught him way back in 2013, and then Derrick Lewis scored that bonkers comeback knockout back in 2018. Other than that though, Volkov’s chin has held up. It makes sense for the oddsmakers to view him as the more trustworthy option to get the dub here. The truth is that yes, the longtime kickboxing/MMA veteran has been winning lately, but you never really know what you’re going to get with him. Overeem is MMA’s box of chocolates. With that being said, this fight would feel every bit of 50/50, except for the fact that Volkov holds the advantage in the durability department — and the chin is king at heavyweight.

UFC Fight Night 59: McGregor vs. Siver Main Card Betting Odds and Predictions. At UFC Fight Night 59, Conor McGregor will look to take another step closer to the featherweight championship in a showcase matchup against Dennis Siver, who has his sights set on spoiling the party. With four wins in as many UFC appearances, McGregor has had a meteoric rise in the 145-pound division. His showmanship has expedited his trip toward the top of the featherweight rankings, but the Irishman didn't get there without big wins, as he's coming off a knockout victory over Dustin Poirier. In October, Siver returned from a suspension and defeated Charles Rosa. It wasn't the type of win that would normally earn a fighter a bout of this magnitude, but Siver might just be a sacrificial lamb of sorts heading into UFC Fight Night 59 and will have to play spoiler to earn some respect. Unsurprisingly, McGregor is a massive favorite heading into Sunday's bout with Siver. It would be a massive upset should the Irishman lose in the UFC Fight Night 59 main event, but the odds suggest a Siver win is nearly impossible, and that is not reality. There's a reason Siver has been on the UFC roster for more than seven years. Having only lost to Cub Swanson at 145 pounds, he's not a combatant anyone should take lightly. While he doesn't match up well with McGregor stylistically, Siver is still dangerous and capable of pulling off the upset this weekend. McGregor has solid enough takedown defense and should be quicker to the punch than Siver, so the favorite will likely win this matchup. However, at these odds, betting on McGregor wouldn't be worth the risk or the minuscule return on investment. Prediction: McGregor, (T)KO, Rd. 3. Play: Pass. With six straight wins, Cerrone is as hot as he's ever been, but he could be pushing his luck by returning to the Octagon for a second time in around two weeks. In 2011, Cowboy had also won six bouts in a row before making a somewhat quick turnaround to meet Nate Diaz at UFC 141. Fighting six times in about 12 months caught up to him then, and he's been equally active over the past 12 months heading into his rematch with Henderson. On the heels of a loss to Rafael dos Anjos, Henderson will be hungry to get back on track, and who better to do that against than an opponent he's already beaten twice? While Cerrone has much more momentum right now, I'm surprised to see these odds so close, given the past between these two competitors. I don't think that Henderson has declined or that Cerrone has improved enough to result in this meeting going much differently than the first two. Prediction: Henderson, Unanimous decision. Play: 1 percent bankroll on Henderson. Following losses in his first two official UFC outings, Uriah Hall has rebounded with back-to-back wins and is starting to look like the fighter most people thought he was. Despite his recent success, Hall finds himself competing against a UFC newcomer on Sunday. The Ultimate Fighter veteran was originally supposed to meet Costas Philippou, but an injury prevented that scrap from going down at UFC Fight Night 59. So, the UFC signed Ron Stallings to fight Hall on short notice. Stallings is a Strikeforce veteran, but since he's coming off a loss to relative unknown Tim Williams, he'll be a massive underdog against Hall. I have little doubt Hall will roll through Stallings, but he's not a fighter I'd be quick to risk money on. Hall can look like a future champion one outing and a fighter who barely deserves a spot on the UFC roster in his next outing. Given that Stallings enters this bout with nothing to lose and that he does have finishing ability from all areas, with six career submissions and knockouts, I'd want more than 10 cents on the dollar to bet on Hall at UFC Fight Night 59. Prediction: Hall, (T)KO, Rd. 1. Play: Pass. Still unbeaten in five UFC appearances, Norman Parke looks to have a lot of potential. However, he's in for his biggest test against veteran Gleison Tibau. With 23 UFC bouts, Tibau has seen it all inside the Octagon. Although he hasn't had much luck against elite lightweights, the Brazilian has succeeded in the gatekeeper role on several occasions. Tibau's grinding style keeps him in pretty much every fight, and it should prove especially effective against Parke, whose wrestling is his strongest weapon. Parke has a bright future ahead, but Tibau always seems to show up at his best in these bouts with up-and-comers. At these odds, Tibau is worth throwing some money at, as he should come away with a decision victory. Prediction: Tibau, Unanimous decision. Play: 1 percent bankroll on Tibau.
Las Vegas Sports Betting 101: How to Bet on Sports in Las Vegas. Every year, thousands of sports enthusiasts flock to Las Vegas to place their bets and closely watch their teams with dollar signs in their eyes. No matter what casino you’re in, you’re bound to walk by a massive wall of television screens donning every imaginable sport from football to UFC to horse racing. Among the rows and rows of chairs, you’ll notice avid sports lovers studying the spread and analyzing brackets for some good ol’ Las Vegas sports book betting. It’s an exciting scenario, especially during big rival games and matches, Vegas Golden Knights games, or during March Madness. Sports betting can be a lot of fun if you’re knowledgeable, but it might be a little intimidating if you’ve never done it before. Before placing those wagers, be sure you know your terms like “money line” and “over/under” or you’ll be using your losing parlay card to dry your tears! Types of Las Vegas Sports Betting. Point Spread: The point spread represents the margin of points in which the favored team must win by to cover the spread. You’re wagering on a team winning or losing by a certain number of points set by the sports book. Money Line: The money line is a bet on the odds of a team winning the game as opposed to a point spread that is based on the scoring outcome. Money Line is a simple wager on which team will win. Parlay: A parlay is a single bet that links two or more wagers. To win the bet, the player must win all the wagers in the parlay. Parlays are very popular because you can take a wager as small as $2 or $5 and turn it into hundreds and thousands of dollars. Futures: As the name implies, a futures bet is a wager placed on an event further into the future. For a futures bet, you may be wagering on who will go to the Super Bowl next year. Propositions (Prop Bet): Prop bets are fun to wager on, especially if you’re not as experienced with sports betting. These are bets like “who will be the first to have and end zone celebration” or “what quarter will LeBron James cry”. Prop bets are just added wagers to keep the games entertaining. Total (Over/Under): You’re betting on whether the total points, runs, or goals scored by both teams is over or under the total provided by the sports book. Interpreting Sports Books Odds. One of the first things you should do is learn how betting odds work. It’s important because it allows you to understand the probability of an event happening along with your potential earnings. Whenever you see two numbers separated by a trailing slash, you can calculate how likely a given event is to happen with. For example: a 4/1 represents that there is an 20% chance and event will happen while a 1/4 will tell you that there is an 80% chance of the event happening. Odds are dependent on each particular sports book so it may be beneficial to shop around for the best payouts. How to Bet at a Las Vegas Sports Book. When arriving to your favorite Las Vegas sports book, it will be helpful to pick up the daily sheets to find out their wagering options.

Dawn of legal sports gambling in Virginia produces rush to gain new clients with promotions - just in time for Super Bowl. Johnny Avello couldn’t have imagined sports wagering grabbing hold across the country the way it has in recent years. With 35 years in the horse racing and wagering industry, he’s made a living in Las Vegas setting odds on sporting events. Only a handful of years ago, his odds on Virginia soon becoming a sports gambling playground wouldn’t have been great, and he would’ve been wrong. Just in time for the Super Bowl, Virginia went online Jan. 21 for legal sports gambling through mobile apps, becoming the 20th state to permit sports wagering since the Supreme Court started opening the business to states other than Nevada in May 2018. “I didn’t think it would ever happen going back five years ago, to be honest with you,” said Avello, the Director of the Race and Sportsbook for DraftKings, one of the first five mobile apps to gain a license in Virginia, along with FanDuel, BetMGM, BetRivers and William Hill. “Now that I see it evolving, it’s just like it’s full-steam ahead.” Competition to gain a foothold in a new marketplace like Virginia, which could generate nearly $90 million in annual revenues from sports gambling, has been fierce. With the advantageous timing of licenses being handed out and permissions being granted for sports wagering outfits to flip the power switch on for their mobile app operations in late January, promotions centered around the Super Bowl have been a go-to marketing piece. Naturally, some of the promotions are more attractive — and less inclined to “gotcha” trickery — than others. FanDuel, in addition to offering a one-time “risk-free” bet of up $1,000 misfire on your first bet and FanDuel will deposit up to $1,000 into your account within three days — is also giving 55-to-1 odds on a first-wager only up to $5 on the outright winner in the Super Bowl. The catch? The 55-to-1 odds refund is issued in the form of credits that must be used on the site. Avello said DraftKings already had at least 700 proposition bets posted on the Super Bowl by Jan. 25 or 26, which he indicates was two or three days before other mobile apps had their Super Bowl props up and running. BetRivers is offering $55 of free bets to be awarded in $11 increments in return for $55 or more of wagers on the Super Bowl, but all of the Super Bowl wagers must be placed on bets with odds of -200 or longer. William Hill is giving $25 in free bets in return for five Super Bowl prop bets of at least $20 each from a list of specific prop bets offered for the promotion. BetMGM is providing a $10 free bet in return for a $25 Super Bowl-only parlay, and up to $20 returned to your account on a first-player-to-score-a-touchdown in the game wager if the wager doesn’t succeed. All eye candy for prospective new clients. All with the goal of getting new bettors signed up in the crucial early stages of the business in Virginia, where wagers on sports involving colleges from the Commonwealth aren’t accepted. “Very important,” FanDuel Group Chief Marketing Officer Mike Raffensperger said of the push to add clients in the first few weeks of legal sports gambling in the state. “Any new state launch, you’ll see one of the most intense periods of new-customer trial. Those customers also tend to be, speaking plainly, guys that have bet before, and so they are sticky. They’re highly valuable. They really like the platform, they stick with it, and so you’ll see a lot of intensity from marketing and promotional generosity.” Through a commercial and marketing partnership with the Washington Football Team — the first of its kind involving an NFL franchise and a mobile app that accepts sports wagers — FanDuel was able to gain preferential access to the Virginia market and, thus, was the first to launch its mobile app when licenses were awarded and standards were established by the Virginia Lottery, which oversees sports betting regulations in the state. Raffensperger is a relative neophyte to the sports wagering business. Yet, as a former marketing and creative executive with Amazon Advertising, DIRECTV and global marketing firm Magnet Media, he knows a pursuit that’s ripe for growth when he sees it. While Avello may be surprised by the rapid proliferation of sports wagering in the country, Raffensperger isn’t. “The United States is the biggest sports betting marketplace in the world,” Raffensperger said. “That is mostly happening through gray-market, black-market and offshore companies that may or may not give you your money. I think a lot of states are realizing this is something important that we can regulate. “Frankly, (the coronavirus) has been devastating to every state budget across the country, and I think that there’s a realization that this is a new tax base that they can help offset some of those budget deficits. Also, being frank, it’s what consumers want. Whether you’re on the red team or the blue team, it tends to make your constituency pretty happy.” As the business continues to grow in the Commonwealth, the expectation is more licenses will be awarded in the near future, giving hope to prospective future involvement for people like Shane August, whose initial application for a license wasn’t accepted. A 2008 Norfolk State graduate who is the President and CEO of August Holding Corporation in Chesapeake and Virginia Beach, August aims to expand from his interests from financial services and health care to try to gain a minority ownership foothold in sports wagering. “I’m in business, so I love competition,” said August, conceding the lack of experience his business has in sports betting played a role in not being granted a license. “The market of sports wagering brings two things together — competition and love for sports. Now that it’s becoming legal, we want to get into the market, but just being candid, it’s a market that’s currently dominated by corporate conglomerates. There really isn’t too much minority participation, so I think we’re trying to be the first or one of the first minority groups to break into the industry. It’s a tall hill to climb, but I do think we have the resources, the know-how and the support to do it.” Despite being shut out of the first round of licenses, August isn’t straying far from sports gambling pursuits. He’ll have his stake in Sunday’s game. “Something about Pat Mahomes, man, he’s a winner,” August said. “I’m going with the Chiefs by six.”
Best Sportsbooks in Vegas. While Vegas sports betting has been legal for quite some time , and the only place where sports fans could legally place bets in the United States for decades, it is still making record-breaking revenue for the state of Nevada year after year. It’s hard to walk down the Vegas strip without finding a land-based sportsbook where you can place a multitude of sports bets. Most visitors who come to Vegas choose to stay on the strip, making it likely that the hotel they stay in has an easily accessible sportsbook. As if Vegas wasn’t already a substantially popular tourist destination, with the addition of sports teams like the Vegas Golden Knights and the Oakland Raiders moving to Vegas this upcoming NFL season, Vegas will see even more foot traffic in coming years. Not to mention they regularly host huge sporting events like UFC and boxing fights that bring in millions in revenue. While the question of whether you can bet on sports in Vegas is a bit redundant, as Nevada has always been grandfathered in and not subjected to PASPA rules, it’s still important to know the legislation around sports betting in Vegas. Vegas Sports Betting Options. Aside from offshore sportsbooks, Vegas will have the most comprehensive and advanced betting structures compared to other states who just recently legalized sports betting. They offer a variety of different betting types and it’s great to get to know each betting option so you can make the right bet depending on which game or match you plan to wager on. Betting on the moneyline in Vegas is the most popular option and a common betting type across the United States. It would be the standard betting option in most states, and the easiest betting type to understand. When betting the Vegas moneyline, you will be picking which team you think will win, or which fighter or competitor - whatever sport you are betting on. You will have two options with odds denoting the favorite and underdog, and you will have to decide who will win out of the two. The point spread is a little more complicated, as it shares the same principle as the moneyline, but the underdog will be given a head start by the oddsmakers. So, if a football team is favored by 7.5 points, the underdogs will start the game with 7.5, if they lose by less than 7, the underdogs win that bet. Also if the underdogs win, the underdog bet cashes. If the spread between the two teams is more than 8, you will lose the bet. Totals are commonly referred to in Vegas as the over/under. You may see odds with an O/U next to it, and that signifies you will be betting on the total number of points accumulated by both teams in the game. If you see oddsmakers chose a football total of 58, you will need to decide if the total number of points by both teams will add up to more or less than 58. If you want to make things a little more interesting and rewarding, you can combine bets together to create a parlay bet slip. These are very common in Vegas as the potential payouts can be huge, due to adding all of the odds for each leg of your bet together. The odds are higher because the likelihood of all legs of your bet cashing is much less with parlays. To win a parlay, each and every prediction you make will need to occur for you to see any Vegas money. Futures are popular during the preseason of any sport. The oddsmakers will release odds on each team to win a certain event, like the Super Bowl for instance, and you can put money on a team, far in advance. These odds will be rather high as it’s pretty tough to accurately predict the Super Bowl winner in August, when the event takes place in February. Vegas Betting Tips. While the betting options sound easy enough, we don’t want to throw you to the wolves when it comes to Vegas betting.

Sports Betting Laws In The United States. As explained under the PASPA section, state sports betting laws in the United States are set on the state level. This can cause very different industries offered despite states being neighbors to each other. For example, bettors in Rhode Island can begin wagering at 18, while those in New Jersey must be 21 to get started. Likewise, bettors in Iowa are not permitted to wager on prop bets involving collegiate athletes, while a state like Oregon allows for betting on any collegiate sport, depending on which sportsbook in the state you use. Finding out these differences can be a challenge but we have designed this entire page for your benefit. Use them as your reference but as always, consult a legal professional about your current situation if you are unsure. One major thing to understand is that, while some restrictions are placed on the sportsbooks (for example, Iowa’s rules against prop betting), some restrictions are placed on you (for example, legal gambling age). The restrictions that are placed on the sportsbooks can be resolved by using a sportsbook outside of the US, but the restrictions that are placed on you cannot be resolved. Using those examples, if you wanted to bet on college prop bets in Iowa, you could use a sportsbook located outside of the US, that was not subject to those restrictions. However, if you wanted to bet before you turned 21 in New Jersey, you cannot do that regardless of where the sportsbook you are using is located. Legal Sports Betting Across The Nation. As of 2021, there are 19 states in the country that have launched some form of state-sanctioned legal sports betting. In addition, six more have approved it, but the infrastructure isn’t set up yet. Washington D.C. has also approved and set up sports betting, but it is not a state. More states are in the process of trying to legalize industries of their own since PASPA was overturned in 2018. But, with or without a legal sportsbook presence in any state in the nation, gambling on sporting events is still legal. How? With the use of offshore internet sportsbooks. These sports betting sites have been in business for decades and are available nationwide for a safe, legal, and regulated sports betting option for the people of the United States. Regardless of where a state lies on the issue of wagering on sports matchups, these platforms will always be legal for sports bettors to use for gambling on sports. Legal Sports Betting Age In The United States. No matter what state you live in, you must adhere to the legal sports betting age in the United States. While most people think this is generally set at 21, they would be incorrect. Most states do permit players to enter casinos and other gambling establishments at age 21 to bet on sports, but there are a handful of states that allow players as young as 18 to gamble. It doesn’t matter whether the sports bettor is using a mobile device or visiting the land-based facility, the sportsbook age is set by the state. This includes when players use offshore betting sites for their gambling needs. Nearly every sportsbook will allow those who are 18 to sign up and begin wagering at their sites but it is up to the player to determine their own legality. If one is betting on horses, they would legally be permitted to wager at 18, however, those who are attempting to bet on sports should wait until they are following the local laws. Despite being able to wager, those who are 21 and caught underage sports betting will have their account terminated and potentially may have their winnings confiscated as well. How Old Do I Need To Be To Play NCAA Tournament Bracket Games For Cash? Playing bracket games or Super Bowl squares may come off as gambling and, in a technical sense, it is. For those playing for smaller prize pools and are entertaining a group of friends, it is unlikely that anything will happen to you when setting up and playing these types of games. Nobody’s going to call the feds on your office pool. Even if large prize pools are involved, the state can determine the game to be considered gambling. However, in most cases, these setups are considered social gambling, where states may limit how much a buy-in or how much the total winner can collect from the game. The basic rule is that as long as the house isn’t taking a cut, there should be no issues when looking to play NCAA tournament bracket games for cash. Similarly, there are plenty of online sportsbooks that offer NCAA tournament bracket games, and those sportsbooks are generally legal to use. When it comes to age, you’ll want to be above the legal gambling age in your state. If your state does not define that age, assume it to be 21. Most states do have a defined legal gambling age, however, and it is usually either 18 or 21. If you’re older than 21, you’re good - just make sure you’re obeying the law. Federal Wire Act And The Effect It Has On Internet Sports Gambling. The Federal Wire Act was put into law in 1961 and is one of the biggest issues in the sports betting industry today. As the law was established in the 1960s, it is quite outdated, yet the US government still uses it to crack down on gambling establishments. In short, this law prevents sportsbooks from accepting a wager from those who are not physically located within the state – and this includes the use of mobile betting. States that have approved mobile sports betting will geolocate a user’s phone before accepting their wager and there is literally zero way around this law. The Wire Act does not target the gambler, so those who are attempting to wager from outside of state lines should not worry, but instead, it focuses on the sportsbook itself. This law was established to prevent mobsters and underground sports betting operations from hiding their money and transferring it across state lines. While this is not the issue that the law control today, it still holds true and may inhibit your ability to bet on sports. As for the offshore betting sites, this US law has zero jurisdiction over the overseas sportsbooks, so they will accept bettors from anywhere within the US. Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act. Perhaps the most important law in the sports betting world, the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA) seemed like the end of the gambling industry in the country. This law (in order to protect the integrity of professional and collegiate sports) made it that states could not offer a state-operated sports betting industry. States like Nevada, Delaware, Oregon, and Montana were exempt from this law, as they already had sports betting laws on their books and were grandfathered in. However, as Nevada was the only state that accepted single-game wagering and not a parlay style game, it quickly became the sports betting monopoly it is known for. Now that PASPA has been repealed (May 2018), states have the right to facilitate their own sports betting laws and regulate their own industry how they see fit. With PASPA gone, many states were quick to legalize sports betting and a handful more are researching the best methods to bring the industry into a tax contributing necessity. This law being repealed is the only reason why the sports betting market has continued to grow immensely since 2018. Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) may seem like a law that prevents sports betting from happening but it couldn’t be further from the truth. Designed to scare bettors, this law worked for many years until sports bettors realized just exactly what the law entailed. Despite the strong wording in its name, UIGEA only prevents US banks from knowingly processing payments to offshore gambling sites. This includes sports betting sites as well as horse racing betting sites and even online casinos. UIGEA may be a deterrent for sports bettors but there are many ways around it. To know if you have been a victim of UIGEA is quite easy, as your credit card will be declined when you attempt to deposit with one of our recommended sites. Don’t worry, your card will still be operational and nobody will be coming knocking on your door. Instead, call up the desired sportsbook and they will explain their various deposit (and withdrawal) methods that are welcomed without a bank being the middle man. Methods like Bitcoin, Money Orders, and other possibilities exist, as the sportsbook and the gambler can make their connection and get you, the sports bettor, started. State Sports Betting Laws In The United States. As explained under the PASPA section, state sports betting laws in the United States are set on the state level. This can cause for very different industries offered despite states being neighbors to each other. For example, bettors in Rhode Island can begin wagering at 18, while those in New Jersey must be 21 to get started. Likewise, bettors in Iowa are not permitted to wager on prop bets involving collegiate athletes, while a state like Oregon allows for betting on any collegiate sport, depending on which sportsbook in the state you use.

Legal Sports Betting Is Bigger than Ever -- But COVID Could Hurt Bets on the Big Game. Sports betting is more popular, and legal, than ever, and one of biggest draws for bettors every year is wagering on the Big Game. But, like everything else right now, COVID-19 is having an impact on football betting this year. In the video below, we'll take a closer look at why wagers on Sunday's game will likely be lower than usual, and how online sports betting -- fueled by companies like DraftKings (NASDAQ: DKNG) -- are scratching an itch for those wanting to place bets during socially distant times.

Latest Online Gambling Laws in the US 2020. The United States is known around the world as a land full of promises in which anything is possible if you work diligently. Maybe this is why people are surprised when they hear that online gambling is not legal in all the states country consists of. However, when the country officials realized that US citizens could easily gamble online by visiting any of the offshore sites, they started working on their own regulations for online gambling legislation. In 2019, the online gambling situation started transforming rapidly. To get a clear picture, we will cover online gambling by dividing it into two parts: online casino gambling and sports betting. In recent years, the status of both has changed across the US. To find out more about it, please read along. Online Casino Gambling in the US. Online gambling in the US can indeed be very confusing. There is a federal law that covers the country as a whole, but apart from that, every state has the freedom to regulate online gaming as they consider it appropriate. However, the fact is that no federal law prohibits online gambling. As a US citizen, you are legally allowed to place wagers online, but only if a site is not based on US soil. Considering the fact that offshore websites have no problem accepting punters from the US, there is nothing to worry about, as you will not get prosecuted for placing a bet online. All this struggle to understand the legality of online gambling came from a wrong interpretation of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006. One part of the act mentions that it “… prohibits gambling businesses from knowingly accepting payments in connection with the participation of another person in a bet or wager that involves the use of the Internet, and that is unlawful under any federal or state law .” Simply said, this has nothing to do with you as a punter. It prohibits financial institutions from accepting payments connected to illegal gambling, but it says nothing about depositing funds. However, financial institutions have found their way around this law with the appearance of e-wallets and similar inventions. Considering the revenue that online gambling produces, some US states decided it is time to jump into online gambling stories with both feet. At the moment, online casinos operate in a few states, and it is most definite that others will follow up soon. New Jersey. New Jersey is one of a few states that ultimately accepted gambling and everything that goes along with it. Online casinos have been legal for quite some time and brought in revenue in billions. You can rest assured that playing any online casino game at New Jersey’s online gambling sites is completely legal. Even popular casino directory sites such as WorldCasinoDirectory have already begun listing online options for New Jersey Residents. Michigan. Michigan finally said yes to online gambling legislation when Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed House Bill 4311 and approved the Lawful Internet Gaming Act. However, even though online gambling is officially legal according to law, online casinos are set to be launched next year. Michigan aims to make online versions of the existing brick-and-mortar casinos, which will take some time. Delaware. Another state that legally offers online gambling is Delaware. The only problem is that the revenue in this state is not matching up with the revenue generated by, for example, New Jersey, but it has been increasing slowly. Concerning a player’s perspective, you can choose any of the legal online casinos and enjoy your day off in peace. Pennsylvania. There is no doubt that online gambling is completely legal and operational in Pennsylvania. The state rejoined the field recently when it comes to online poker in Pennsylvania. PokerStars made it happen by getting a license under the Mount Airy Casino, thus putting a smile on the faces of Pennsylvania residents. On top of that, mobile casino apps are available and widely used in the state; however, that’s not necessary, as online casinos designed their sites in a way that they automatically adjust to your mobile phone screen. Nevada. Nevada is like a gambling base for the US. Whatever you have imagined a casino should have, you will find it here. However, when it comes to online gambling, the only form of it allowed in Nevada is online poker in designated poker rooms. They do have a legal WSOP site, but other online casino games are forbidden. New York. In New York, the situation that deals with the question of whether or not online gambling is legal can be a bit ambiguous. Although lawmakers have found some legal gaps that can be used to legalize online casinos, no official decision has been made. However, as Pennsylvania legalized online gambling, New York will have to do so as well, in order not to lose enormous amounts of potential revenue to their neighbor. Online Sports Betting in the US. Legislation of sports betting in the US was a real pain in the neck for both operators and punters. At some point, people were confused about what they can and cannot do regarding betting at sports in the US. Luckily, in May 2018, the Supreme Court ruled against PASPA, which represented the federal law meant to ban these wagers. As the federal law is no longer against online sports betting, it is up to every state to regulate the market within its borders. Some have already done so, and others are giving their best to make online sports betting possible for their residents. New Jersey. The best-known sports betting market in the US is New Jersey, where almost all types of online gambling are legal at the moment. The most prominent online sports betting operators in the state are DraftKings and SportsDuel Sportsbooks, the latter one offering the mobile app as well. Michigan. Michigan has legalized online sports betting at the end of 2019, but it hasn’t put it into practice just yet. If everything goes as planned, 2020 should be the year when everything will fall into place. Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania came back to life when many popular operators landed there. Now you can choose the site where you would like to try your luck with online sports betting. Some of your best options would be DraftKings and SportsDuel Sportsbooks, followed by Unibet, Fox Bet, Parx, or BetRivers. The forerunner for online sports betting in Pennsylvania is SugarHouse Sportsbook, while the latest one to join the group is BetAmerica. Nevada. Nevada stands strong with what they do best. However, the process of entering the online sports betting goes through the land-based casinos. Namely, you need to open an account in person and deposit a minimum amount. Then, when you log in, your phone will use geolocation technology to make sure you are indeed in Nevada. Once all this is done, you can start betting online. Indiana. Another stated that jumped into online sports betting is Indiana. At first, the sportsbooks like BetRivers, DraftKings, and Fanduel gave Indiana a chance and cleared the path for more to come. Fresh from 2019, Iowa followed the example of other states. The downside is that it looked up to Nevada and copied the rule of physical registration at a land-based casino. West Virginia. Online sports betting was present in West Virginia in 2018, with the help of the BetLucky mobile app. Unfortunately, the app got shut down and remained that way. Now online sports betting is back and works just fine. Rhode Island. Rhode Island is a state where online sports betting became a thing in 2019. The leading operator for sports betting in Rhode Island is William Hill, therefore, we can expect the launching of the app in the near future. Mississippi. Online sports betting is considered legal in Mississippi, but the circumstances under which it can be done are kind of strange. You can bet via your mobile phone, but only while you are physically present at the casino — the one that has adopted this option. Oregon. Oregon has accepted online sports betting and launched its sports betting option — the Scoreboard. This is the primary app for placing bets online, but if you don’t like it, feel free to look for other options. New Hampshire. As 2019 was a year of sports betting, New Hampshire decided to follow the herd. Again, DraftKings Sportsbook has a central role in developing this type of entertainment in the US state. Illinois. The rules in Illinois are similar to those in Nevada and Iowa. If you want to bet online, you need to sign up at brick-and-mortar casinos. Also, racetracks and off-track betting facilities are places where you can do it. Rumor has it that, in the future, you will be able to do everything online, and we expect to witness it in 2020. Tennessee. Last but not least, Tennessee is ready for online sports betting. They are set to develop it fully and offer many sites and apps for online sports betting throughout this year.
America’s Laws Against Gambling And Sports Betting. When discussing legal online sports betting, the majority of America's government has a very regressive, prohibition-style attitude towards it, buying into a negative perspective concerning the morality of gambling entertainment. This is what has led to a variety of state gambling laws in the past. There are no US federal laws that make it a crime for Americans to place bets at offshore sportsbooks that are operating legally within the industry. There are two states that legally prohibit all online gambling, domestic or offshore, leaving residents in Connecticut and Washington without legally sanctioned online betting options, though they have yet to start enforcing those restrictions. For the most part, state lawmakers are becoming more progressive concerning betting entertainment and recognize the value that this type of revenue stream can bring to a state. Individual states are actively analyzing what the legalization of domestic sports gambling can provide them with in terms of opportunities, tourism, and tax revenue, and many have already taken action one way or the other through new legislation. Iowa, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and West Virginia currently permit state-regulated online sports gambling, with nearly two dozen additional states having launched land-based sportsbooks. Individual territories began embracing sports betting the moment that PASPA was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in the infamous NJ case, with multiple states having had their legislation ready and waiting should the ruling go in the Garden State's favor. Below we'll take a look at the relevant US federal gambling laws, and explain how state gambling laws intersect with federal laws to impact online and brick and mortar sportsbook gambling, as well as what these laws have to say about the legal status of offshore sports betting entertainment. The Federal Laws on the Books. The sections below will detail and explain how each major federal law affects domestic gambling opportunities in the US. The Federal Wire Act. Passed back in 1961, the Federal Wire Act was made law in an effort to curtail the illegal gambling activities taking place over the phone by organized crime syndicates. It prohibited the transmission of wagers or betting information from being carried across state lines via telegraph or telephone. The Federal Wire Act targeted these illegal bookie operations as a means to curb the mafia from manipulating games and making a profit through these tactics. This law was strictly focused on interstate gambling, and only targeted those accepting bets and not the individuals placing the bets. The goal was to crack down on illegal gambling services, not prosecute bettors. Between the DOJ Legal Opinion of 2011 and the repeal of PASPA, today's application of the Wire Act prohibits any gambling business from accepting bets across state lines or from foreign sources. With the changes still being implemented, we are not sure yet how this will affect those states that had entered into interstate gambling pacts with one another, sharing player pools for their online gambling initiatives. Once that aspect of the legal situation becomes more clear we will update that information here. The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act. Also known as the Bradley Act, or just PASPA, the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act was a sweeping federal regulation that passed in 1992, with the supposed intent of protecting the integrity of sports by making sports betting illegal. At the time the bill was passed, there were sports lotteries in Delaware, Montana, and Oregon, as well as licensed and regulated sports betting in Nevada, so those four states were exempt. The law effectively prevented the expansion of the sports betting market throughout the United States in what many categorized as a discriminatory law that favored a few states while restricting others. New Jersey took on the mission of challenging the law and after several years of court battles, was given a favorable outcome by the highest court in the land as SCOTUS ruled PASPA as unconstitutional, nullifying the law. As of May 14, 2018, each individual state now has the authority to dictate sports betting laws within their borders. They can now choose to authorize or prohibit sports betting at their pleasure. Following PASPA's repeal, we have seen multiple states move forward with legislation that legalizes sports gambling at the state level. The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. This is the big one that shook the gambling industry to its core. Online gambling really started to explode during the early 2000's, especially in the realm of online poker. In 2006, then-President Bush signed into law the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, known all over as the UIGEA. In a nutshell, the UIGEA placed very stringent regulatory restrictions concerning how gambling-related transactions could be processed. The most reputable sites started a countdown and allowed Americans to withdraw and closeout their accounts. Many trusted gambling sites left the US market at this time. After the dust settled, and the financial and gambling industries learned how to comply with the regulatory oversight provided by the UIGEA, many of these reputable gambling sites have returned to provide services to US sports bettors. The UIGEA did end up making the online gambling market safer for both the bettors and the operators by imposing a more reliable and stricter regulatory structure for how gambling-related transactions are processed. Gambling sites invested in top tier payment processors while all parties implemented higher-level security protocols to ensure the validity and safety of those transactions that are processed. While US online gambling funding options are still somewhat limited in some regards, things have stabilized. The emergence of cryptocurrencies have filled the void left by the elimination of US-friendly e-wallets and failed credit card transactions. The UIGEA does not make it illegal for Americans to gamble online. The law simply regulates how online gambling transactions are processed. The 2011 Department of Justice's Interpretation of Federal Laws. With the growth of online commerce, several states became interested in offering lottery game services online. This raised questions concerning the application of the Federal Wire Act, driving the DOJ to issue a clarification of the law's reach. The Department of Justice ruled, and accurately so, that the federal government had no right to tell states that they could not sanction online gambling and therefore established that each US state has the authority to determine their own fate concerning online gambling with the exception of sports betting. The repeal of PASPA took care of freeing sports gambling as the last remaining federally prohibited form of state-regulated online gambling. As of now, all 50 states have the legal ability to legalize and offer online gambling such as casinos, poker, bingo, and sports wagering. To date, only a handful of states have taken advantage of legal domestic online gambling. However, many states have pending bills to allow various forms of sports betting. The 2019 DOJ Interpretation of Federal Gambling Laws. Following the repeal of PASPA in 2018, the reach of the Federal Wire Act has again come into question. In a new interpretation, which many believe was coerced by anti-online gambling activist Sheldon Adelson, the Department of Justice has indicated that the Wire Act prohibits not only interstate wagers but also the sharing of information across state lines. This determination will certainly harm those states that have entered into interstate gambling compacts to share player pools and resources with other states. The opinion is being formally challenged through a lawsuit headed up by New Hampshire. As the situation unfolds, we will provide updates here. What You Need to Know Going Forward. All of this legal information is good knowledge to have under your belt, no doubt about it. However, all you really need to know going forward is that there are no federal laws making gambling illegal in the United States either online or offline, and this includes domestic and offshore sports betting. States now determine the legal status of all gambling entertainment within their borders. As a sports betting resource guide, we want to make this point clear. For those of you interested in betting on sport but who live in a state that has not authorized state-regulated sportsbooks, you'll have to either travel to a state with legalized sports betting or use a legitimate offshore sportsbook such as the ones you find listed on this site. You can check out our list of states that allow sports betting here or follow our list of recommended online sportsbooks.
Sections. Advertisement. What do sports betting lines mean? Share this article. If that sounds like you, we’re here to assist you. If you’ve stared at a board at a sportsbook or just seen spreads and moneylines on the Internet and been utterly confused, don’t worry. It’s not just you. Those numbers can be confounding. But hopefully, once you’re done reading this, you’ll completely understand how they work. As you prepare to dive into the world of sports betting, here’s a breakdown of how the lines work, starting with … Spreads. It would be really easy to bet on a game if you could put money on a heavy favorite to win. That’s where point spreads come in. Let’s look at an example: In this case, you can bet on either two outcomes: you can put money on the Eagles to win the game by 4.5 points OR MORE, which makes them the favorites. Or you can bet that the Giants will either win or lose by LESS THAN 4.5 points. They’re the underdogs. Now, sometimes the spread “moves” during the days leading up to the game. Perhaps the Eagles’ spread ends up being -3.5 (in which they must win by 3.5 points or more to give you a victory in your bet). Your bet all depends on whichever spread you bet on, whether it was when the Eagles were favored by 4.5 or 3.5 points. If you ever see “PK” or “pick” next to a team, it means there’s no spread and you can bet on who will win, no matter what the score is. Moneylines. Let’s take that same example above but use moneylines: The team with a minus symbol is the favorite, and the number is how much money you would need to bet to win $100. In this case, you would have to bet $200 on the Eagles in order to win an additional $100. Note that you can bet any amount you want, but those numbers are always calculated and posted the same way, either in how much money you would need to wager to win $100 or how much money you could win by wagering $100. If you’re betting on something like the team who will win the Super Bowl in the future, you might see it look like this: New England Patriots — 3/1 Baltimore Ravens — 5/1 Kansas City Chiefs — 8/1. If you were betting on the Patriots and their 3/1 odds, you would win $3 for every $1 you spend. So if you bet $50 on the Pats and they ended up winning the Super Bowl, you’d win $150 (plus your original wager) back.
Why Odds Change In Sports Betting. Odds change for a couple of reasons, but, once again you need to understand how sportsbooks make money. Essentially a sportsbook looks to have an equal amount of risk bet on all outcomes of the wager. That is the ideal result for them. To ensure this, they adjust the odds to make a bet more attractive to the side with fewer bets. Let’s take our example of coin flipping again, to keep things simple. Let’s also assume we have 5 bettors all looking to bet $100. Heads Odds Tails Odds Heads Wins Tails Wins Bet 1 -110 -$91.92 $100.00. If we look at “Bet 1” (below), the first bettor risks $100 on Heads for a chance to win $91.92. From the sportsbook’s point of view they are at risk of losing $91.92 on a Heads win, or retaining $100 on a tails win. Not ideal for a sportsbook since they look expect to make money on every event. Heads Odds Tails Odds Heads Wins Tails Wins Bet 1 -110 -$91.92 $100.00 Bet 2 -110 $9.08 $9.08. When Bet 2 is placed on Tails, the sportsbook gets an ideal outcome: no matter who wins, the book pays out $91.92 using the losers money, and retains $9.08 itself. Heads Odds Tails Odds Heads Wins Tails Wins Bet 1 -110 -$91.92 $100.00 Bet 2 -110 $9.08 $9.08 Bet 3 -110 $108.08 -$83.84. When Bet 3 is placed the sportsbook will likely not make an odds change to the -110, and they will still be available. By choosing Tails again, the risk to the sportsbook is again in the red. If heads wins, the book will have only one bettor to pay, but 2 losers and therefore would win $108.08. if Tails wins they are at risk $83.84. Definitely not what the sportsbook wants, but you’ll notice that the the overall risk is going down versus after Bet 1. Heads Odds Tails Odds Heads Wins Tails Wins Bet 1 -110 -$91.92 $100.00 Bet 2 -110 $9.08 $9.08 Bet 3 -110 $108.08 -$83.84 Bet 4 -110 $208.08 -$175.76. Bet 4 is where the sportsbook would get concerned. A third Tails bettor means they could potentially lose $175.76. Remember that the sportsbook isn’t gambling. They are expected to make money. That is why they would look to make an odds change to try to even out their risk. You can see that as this trend continues, eventually the sportsbook takes no risk and takes profit regardless of the result. Something to keep in mind about this example is that it is unusual to see lines move with only a small number of bettors or dollars, but you can see that after thousands of people bet on a single event eventually profit is guaranteed and predictable.
Go big or go home: America’s multi-billion dollar sports betting business. Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest sporting -- and betting -- event of the year. Despite the pandemic, bookkeepers are expecting wagers worth more than $4 billion this year. Since its expansion outside Nevada in 2018, the legal betting industry has ballooned, with New Jersey emerging as the biggest market in the country. Hari Sreenivasan reports on why, the odds are, the industry will keep growing. Read the Full Transcript. Hari Sreenivasan: It's Super Bowl weekend, which means that in addition to two teams playing for the NFL championship, it's also the biggest betting event of the year. 23 million people will wager an estimated $4.3 billion dollars on the game according to industry estimates. Betting has always been part of sports – legal or not, but since the expansion of legal sports betting outside of Nevada in 2018. It's suddenly much more visible. Just over the Hudson River from New York City, at the Fanduel Sportsbook at the Meadowlands in New Jersey, capacity is limited to 35 percent as a COVID precaution. But that doesn't mean that it's not busy. Andrew Kleiman: We've done our best to create an environment where they're able to at least feel comfortable being in here and be socially distanced so I don't think the excitement is any different. I think, if anything, the excitement is more this year than it was last year. Hari Sreenivasan: Andrew Kleiman is the Senior Director of Operations for the sportsbook. It is the largest sports betting operation in the country, and part of the dramatic growth of the industry in New Jersey since becoming legal. Last year, New Jersey sportsbooks took in nearly $400 million in revenue. It was nearly $100 million more than 2019, despite the pandemic. And it generated more than $50 million in state taxes. Andrew Kleiman: When we were able to open up, it almost was like a perfect storm where all the sports came back, and people actually wagered more than they did last year. So needless to say, it was a really good year for us. Hari Sreenivasan: The growth has also been driven by the fact that in New Jersey, you don't have to physically be here, you can just use your phone. In fact, more than 90 percent of the wagers in New Jersey are done online. It's part of a huge change since New Jersey led the effort nationally to legalize sports gambling outside of Nevada. As Newshour Weekend reported back in 2015, boosters of sports betting in the Garden State had been pushing to legalize the practice for years. In central New Jersey one racetrack even preemptively built out this space in anticipation of the rules changing. In May of 2018, the Supreme Court struck down a 1992 law that had prohibited it. and within months, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy was placing a legal bet in that same sports book that had been built years earlier. Today, 20 states and Washington D.C. have legalized sports gambling in some form, with another 19 either considering legislation or working on regulations to actually start operations. Chris Grove: We're unlikely to see another expansion of gambling that occurs this rapidly for a generation, if not more. Hari Sreenivasan: Chris Grove is a partner at Eilers and Kreijek Gaming, an independent research firm that follows the industry. Chris Grove: I think that it's certainly possible that we could see the number of states where sports betting is available crest over 30 by the end of the year. Some of that increased interest in state legislatures does come from the budgetary pressures brought about by the global pandemic. But to be honest, much of that momentum was already existing in state capitals. Hari Sreenivasan: New Jersey, is currently the biggest market in the country with more than $6 billion in wagers in 2020. But Grove says this will change as the industry matures and more states legalize sports betting. Chris Grove: It is a temporary crown, unfortunately, for the good folks in the Garden State. Generally speaking, with some exceptions on the margins, the largest states from a sports betting revenue perspective are going to be the states with the largest populations. Hari Sreenivasan: Grove also says that the growth has come as media and sports leagues themselves have embraced gambling. Both ESPN and FS1 feature daily shows devoted to sports betting. Information on betting odds are now displayed on the ticker on networks like ESPN, and media companies and teams have official gambling partners, and feature betting content during games. NBA Halftime show: Right now the Nets are underdogs, getting six and a half points. Chris Grove: I think you're also going to see those partnerships continue to deepen and you are going to see increased integrations, whether it's some of the more subtle things, or more all-in integrations like like custom blocks of content that are gambling first and sports second. I don't think it's overstating it to use the word ubiquitous. I think you are going to see that kind of ubiquitous integration. Hari Sreenivasan: Grove believes it is in this area where we could see new regulation in the future. Chris Grove: I think it's going to be an interesting dialog between sports teams, leagues, betting operators, consumers and, of course, regulators who do have a history in the US of weighing in on what kind of advertising, in what context is appropriate. Hari Sreenivasan: Back in New Jersey, despite the availability of online betting, Andrew Kleiman says many people still prefer to place bets in person, which is the only way to use just cash. While there's a lot of focus on who will win the game, Kleiman says keep an eye on the pregame coin toss: it's one of the most popular bets not related to the game's outcome.. Andrew Kleiman: It's a 50-50 opportunity. And it's just one of those things that you sit there and you just hope for the best, but you also want your customers to win too. Hari Sreenivasan: And in case you're wondering, as of yesterday, the heavy favorite in terms of money wagered at least, was tails.

Biden builds out Cabinet with choices for Commerce and Labor secretaries. President-elect Joe Biden is urging all Americans to follow the advice of health and medical professionals when making their Thanksgiving plans amid the ongoing pandemic. Biden says he and his wife Jill are having the same discussions. (Nov. 16) AP Domestic. President-elect Joe Biden announced Thursday his choices of Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo to lead the Commerce Department and Boston Mayor Marty Walsh to head the Labor Department. In fleshing out his economics team, Biden also named: • Isabel Guzman to head the Small Business Administration. She is a former senior adviser and deputy chief of staff at the agency who is now director of California's Office of the Small Business Advocate. • Don Graves to serve as deputy secretary of Commerce. Former President Barack Obama put Graves in charge of helping revive Detroit when it grappled with bankruptcy by working with municipal, state, business, and community leaders. Graves is a former executive director of the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness and deputy assistant secretary for small business, community development, and housing policy in the Treasury Department. “This team will help us emerge from the most inequitable economic and jobs crisis in modern history by building an economy where every American is in on the deal,” Biden said in a statement. “They share my belief that the middle class built this country and that unions built the middle class.” Biden has now named his picks to lead all of the federal departments. A lingering open slot in his Cabinet is head of the CIA. Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo, center, speaks Aug. 2, 2018, with Lisa McGovern, left, and Betty Toye at the Pilgrim Senior Center in Warwick, R.I. (Photo: Michelle R. Smith, AP) The Commerce Department handles a variety of functions. One of the most prominent now is the census, which happens every 10 years to reapportion House seats in Congress by population, and carries implications for how federal money is distributed. The 2020 census has been mired in controversy for years because of disputes about who should be counted. The Trump administration sought to not count undocumented immigrants, but Democrats said the Constitution calls for everyone to be counted. The department, as its name implies, also helps negotiate trade agreements. And the department includes functions such as the National Weather Service and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, which deals with fisheries. Raimondo, the first woman to become governor of her state, had been considered as a running mate for Biden before his selection of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. Raimondo has touted economic growth the state enjoyed before the pandemic. But her potential appointment had been opposed by progressive advocates who were critical of her policies, including her overhaul of the state pension system. When Raimondo campaigned for reelection in 2018, she faced union opposition and a progressive challenger, who was supported by groups aligned with Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. The advocacy group Demand Progress opposed Raimondo's appointment to any Cabinet post, citing problems with state health insurance programs. Raimondo became the first woman governor of Rhode Island in 2015. During her administration, the state invested in infrastructure, education and job training. The state became the fourth in the country to offer tuition-free community college to every high school graduate, a national goal for Biden as president. Raimondo, a former venture-capital executive who co-founded Point Judith Capital, won statewide election as general treasurer in 2010. She overhauled the state pension system, which had a $7 billion unfunded liability. Provisions included eliminating cost-of-living increases, raising the retirement age and moving workers into different retirement accounts, which sparked union opposition. Raimondo, whose grandfather immigrated from Italy, grew up in Smithfield. She graduated with honors in economics from Harvard University, won a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University, where she earned a doctorate, and graduated from Yale Law School.

Mandatory Credit: Robert Hanashiro-USA TODAY NETWORK (Photo: Robert Hanashiro-USA TODAY Sports) The Labor Department regulates workplace safety through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, industries such as the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and contributes to leadership of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. The department tracks information such as the unemployment rate and wage rates. One of Biden's priorities in combating the COVID-19 pandemic is to have OSHA develop regulations for workers to return safely to their jobs. Walsh is a former top union leader. But his selection signals a choice against the diversity in the rest of the Cabinet. Walsh is white, but others considered for the slot included California Labor Secretary Julie Su, an Asian woman, and AFL-CIO chief economist Bill Spriggs, a Black man. Walsh, a Boston native and lifelong resident, was swiftly embraced by labor unions as one of their own. American Trucking Associations CEO Chris Spear commended Walsh for “a deep understanding of labor issues” and his experience working with building trades as mayor. “The professional drivers, mechanics, dock workers, dispatchers – the millions of individuals who make up the workforce of our industry - are the critical resource that powers trucking and our economy,” Spear said. Paul Rinaldi, president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, also praised Walsh as a journeyman member of the Laborers’ International Union of North America and former president of the Boston Building and Construction Trades Council. “Mayor Walsh will bring to the job the deep understanding of what solidarity truly means, and the critical importance of collective bargaining," Rinaldi said. "Our nation is hurting badly as this COVID-19 pandemic rages. To recover and rebuild, it will take the collective efforts of working men and women nationwide." As a recovering alcoholic, Walsh has led a lifetime commitment to preventing and treating alcoholism. He earned a degree in political science from Boston College.

Vegas Presidential Odds. Article and odds updated on November 6th, 2020 at 10:32am EST. There is a huge event sneaking into view in the United States of America, as the 2020 Election grows ever closer. Americans will go to the polls on the 3rd November, with the winning candidate being inaugurated on the 20th January 2021. It will be a huge decision in the USA as they must decide the man that they want to be the President for the next four years. Online Markets for US Presidential Online Betting Odds. Vegas Odds 2020 election race is nearing its last month but has but far from a clear winner yet. It doesn’t seem that long ago since Donald Trump shocked the world by defying the odds to beat Hilary Clinton to move into the White House. But, an awful lot has changed since then, and this could turn out to be one of the tightest and more aggressive Elections in American history. Read on for the Las Vegas presidential odds below: Current Vegas Presidential Odds. Those gamblers looking to find Vegas Odds for the upcoming or previous elections will be left disappointed. It is illegal for sports with licenses in the US to offer odds. That is why none of the leading sportsbooks in Las Vegas have been able to offer odds on US Elections. Table of Contents. An Alternative to Las ‘Vegas Odds’ That is why the majority of online bookmakers, otherwise known as ‘offshore sportsbooks‘ are the way forward for those looking to bet on the 2020 Election. In any normal scenario outside of the US election, it would have been expected that the Vegas odds Trump commands will be neck in neck with Biden, and this case shows with the online markets below. Again though, there will be no lines available for those looking for Vegas odds President race numbers. The Vegas election odds (online markets) will be updated here live as they become available. Why Vegas Odds on the US Election Are Illegal. There are a number of reasons why betting on Presidential elections is illegal in the States. One of the main reasons links back to the Black Sox Scandal in 1919. The law is there to ensure the integrity of democracy. Meanwhile, there was also a fear that betting on elections could also have a negative impact on the number of voters that turned out. Changes In US Presidential Odds Since January. With the constant overtaking and media parade, who knows what Vegas odds on Presidential election movements we’ll see throughout the final days leading up to Election night? Where Will The Election Be Won? The US Election doesn’t always mean getting the most amount of votes; instead it comes down to the States that you manage to win. The winning candidate will need to get at least 279 electoral college votes to win, with 538 in total up for grabs. Most States vote the same way for every election, but there are some that can go either way; these are called battleground States. There are 14 different battleground States, which turned out to be the decisive factor for Trump back in 2016. However, recent figures have shown that Biden holds the advantage in the majority this time around. Polls show that Biden has the advantage in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Caroline, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. Meanwhile, Trump has a better rating on the polls in just three of the States; Georgia, Iowa and Texas. The recent figures also show that there is only a slim difference between the candidates in three of the States that currently favour Biden: Florida, North Carolina and Ohio. Were The Odds Right In 2016? The 2020 election will be unlike anything that we have seen before, and the main reason for that is because it is unpredictable. The polls have been wrong on numerous occasions over the past couple of years, which has meant that the odds have counted for very little. The year that Trump won the election, there were two examples that the polls aren’t always accurate, one of which being the Trump election and the other being the United Kingdom voting to leave the European Union. Back in 2016, Trump was given just a 50% chance of winning the election on the 3rd November, which was just five days before American went to the polls. The unpredictability of the 2016 election meant that huge wagers were placed on both Trump and Clinton, with one gambler from London putting over $200,000 on the eventual winner. One bookmaker revealed that the number of bets put on the election in 2016 exceeded the wagers that were put on other significant events such as the EU referendum, the European Championships and the Epsom Derby. Whatever happens to in the final debates, one thing is for sure: we remain at the razor edge of our seat to know what Las Vegas odds presidential election candidates Biden and Trump will surprise us with. Let’s see what Vegas odds president 2020 sportsbooks favor as their lines continue moving toward a dramatic finale.
Vegas Election Odds Overtime: Still No Presidential Payouts. US President Donald Trump after a NATO reception at 10 Downing Street in London, England in 2019. . [+] (Photo by WIktor Szymanowicz/NurPhoto via Getty Images) NurPhoto via Getty Images. Although a number of battleground states have certified their results and mainstream media have called the November 3rd election for former Vice President Joe Biden, President Donald Trump has not conceded. President Trump is challenging key state results - in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada - in court and state legislatures. As a result of the dispute, most online sportsbooks have not yet paid out on one of the largest betting events in history, including many prop bets. Betfair. At United Kingdom-based Betfair alone, the world’s largest online betting exchange, over $300 million in payouts hang in the balance. Betfair reportedly took $564 million overall in presidential bets, about twice the betting handle in the then-record 2016 election. That apparently includes at least one UK bettor with $1.3 million (£1 million) on Biden at 8/15 odds. . That Biden bet alone will pay out £1,540,000 if the Democrat closes the deal in the Electoral College. The presidential bet is “the biggest political bet of all time on Betfair Exchange,” according to spokesman Sam Rosbottom – and the third biggest ever. Rosbottom said the biggest sports bet in Betfair’s history was Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor in Las Vegas in 2017 – at an inflation-adjusted $71.5 million.

Idaho Senate Passes Constitutional Ban On Legal Marijuana. “We must therefore wait,” a Betfair representative told MarketWatch last week, “until there is clarity around any ongoing recounts and any potential legal challenges to the results before we can settle the market.” A spokesperson for Betfair’s parent company Flutter told MarketWatch they have learned the lesson from past premature payouts. The most infamous was Ireland-based Paddy Power, who paid out prematurely on Hillary Clinton in 2016. Paddy Power took a bath estimated at $4.7 million. Bovada. “The winner of the 2020 presidential election was and continues to be the biggest event in Bovada’s history,” Bovada political oddsmaker Pat Morrow wrote on November 7. “While we appreciate that various media outlets have projected a result, these results are not official.” Morrow says Bovada will pay out on Biden as the winner when and if Trump concedes or “exhausts his legal challenges and pending recounts.” BetOnline. “We still have not graded a winner,” Adam Burns, sportsbook manager of BetOnline, told The New York Post . “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.” “If Biden comes in, it’s a big win for us,” Burns told the Post , explaining that BetOnline’s customers favored Trump overall. “If Trump is declared the winner, we will take a bath.” As of November 30, nearly four weeks after the election, PredictIt has shares of Biden trading at 89 cents, with Trump at 13 cents, up from a low of 8 cents on November 7. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission granted an academic exception to PredictIt, based in New Zealand and started by Victoria University of Wellington as a research tool, and it limits bets accordingly. “PredictIt won’t close its markets until recounts and any litigation by both campaigns are finished,” according to Bloomberg Weal th , citing Brandi Travis, chief marketing officer for Aristotle International, which provides support for the platform. Key dates for presidential bettors include December 8th, when the “safe harbor” provisions of the Electoral Count Act of 1887 kick in; December 14 th , when the Electoral College meets to vote; and January 6 th , when a Joint Session of Congress meets to count the votes and hear any objections. If neither candidate reaches 270 electoral votes, which happened in 1800 and 1824, the 12 th Amendment to the US Constitution specifies a contingent election be held in the US House of Representatives. Each state delegation would have one vote. January 20 th , 2021 is Inauguration Day.
On Tuesday, November 3, 2020, Virginia will hold its general election to select the next President of the United States. While most other states would also be filling US House and Senate seats and/or governorships at this time, VA is one of the few states that holds its state-centric elections in off years from the Presidential election. These were held on Tuesday, November 5, 2019, and the 2020 Super Tuesday primaries took place on March 3, 2020. For the general election in 2020, you can currently wager on a number of different things at various political betting sites. While these are all related to national developments at this time, you will probably see Virginia-specific odds posted in the run-up to the state Presidential election on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2020.

Virginia is the Mother of Presidents, but it’s also the mother of all swing states, and any election could go to either side, from the local to the state to the federal level. In 2016, despite having a slight GOP lead in the state House and Senate, Hillary Clinton won the VA primary easily with 49.73% of the vote compared to 44.41% for Donald Trump. Expect both party campaigns to stump hard in VA throughout the election season in 2020. What is Virginia’s Political Landscape?

The 2020 GOP betting odds showed that Trump had no credible challengers, so the state party canceled its primary altogether. Betting on the 2020 Virginia Presidential Elections.

Biden’s Election Odds Improve Following Obama Endorsement. Democratic presidential candidate former US Vice President Joe Biden speaks during a town hall . [+] meeting in Newton, Iowa, on January 30, 2020. - Joe Biden went on the attack Thursday against Donald Trump, as the Democratic frontrunner campaigned in Iowa hours before the US president jets in to divert attention ahead of the state's first-in-the-nation vote. (Photo by JIM WATSON / AFP) (Photo by JIM WATSON/AFP via Getty Images) AFP via Getty Images. After receiving a strong endorsement from former President Barak Obama, Joe Biden has seen his 2020 election chances improve. While the endorsement comes as no surprise, it does highlight an interesting trend in that others talking about Joe Biden seem to be driving his success rather than the candidate actually speaking himself. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has emerged as a betting longshot, with his daily press appearances throughout New York’s battle against Covid-19 giving his popularity a boost with democratic voters. Sportsbooks Offer Trump & Biden At Even Odds. It was assumed that Obama had withheld his formal endorsement to avoid causing any disturbances in the Democratic nomination process, but the announcement couldn’t have come at a better time for Biden. The Inside Story Of A Trump Pardon Gone Wrong. Psychedelic Toads Pushed To The Limit, Conservationists Urge Synthetic 5-MeO-DMT Option. Idaho Senate Passes Constitutional Ban On Legal Marijuana. A former Biden staffer has accused her former boss of sexual assault, an accusation that the candidate has publicly denied, and while only an accusation at this point, negative press can be detrimental to a candidate whose odds seem to improve when the spotlight focuses on someone else. Where this news could have led to a dip from an odds perspective, the well timed Obama endorsement helped quickly remedy the situation by instantly becoming the focal point of all Biden campaign conversations. This paired with the ongoing coronavirus situation and Trump’s ongoing quarrels with Dr. Anthony Fauci and the World Health Organization helped to create a “tale of two candidates”, with one being lauded with support and praise from peers while the other struggles to find balance under pressure. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the ongoing narratives on both sides of the fence will likely have little impact in changing the vote of most Americans, but the sheer. With the odds now even at many sportsbooks, it looks like we could be in for a race much tighter than the one pundits and oddsmakers expected only a few short weeks ago.

2024 Presidential Election Gambling Odds. by Ryan Glasspiegel December 31, 2020, 9:51 am updated December 31, 2020, 12:35 pm 13 Comments. As we exit 2020 and enter 2021, the 2024 presidential election may be the last thing on your minds. However, the jockeying is already beginning behind the scenes. A large swath of powerful politicians, business leaders, and big personalities think 78-year-old Joe Biden could be a one-and-done. They also saw Donald Trump win in 2016 and think that could be them. Over at the UK book Paddy Power, which is owned by Flutter, which also owns OutKick’s gambling partner FanDuel, here are the current gambling odds for the 2024 presidential election: Joe Biden: 4-1 Kamala Harris: 5-1 Donald Trump: 8-1 Nikki Haley: 10-1 Mike Pence: 10-1 Pete Buttigieg: 14-1 AOC: 18-1 Eric Trump: 18-1 Donald Trump Jr.: 18-1 Ivanka Trump: 18-1 Beto O’Rourke: 22-1 Paul Ryan: 25-1 Eric Holder: 25-1 Dan Crenshaw: 33-1 Bernie Sanders: 33-1 Oprah Winfrey: 33-1 Tom Cotton: 33-1 Marco Rubio: 33-1 Elizabeth Warren: 35-1 Mike Pompeo: 40-1 Deval Patrick: 40-1 Michelle Obama: 40-1 Tulsi Gabbard: 40-1 Eric Swalwell: 40-1 Eric Garcetti: 40-1 Tucker Carlson: 50-1 Jay Inslee: 50-1 Tim Ryan: 50-1 Hillary Clinton: 50-1 Cory Booker: 50-1 Margaret Hassan: 50-1 Julian Castro: 50-1 Andrew Yang: 50-1 JB Pritzker: 50-1 Sherrod Brown: 50-1 Philip Murphy: 50-1 Kanye West: 50-1 Tammy Duckworth: 50-1 John Hickenlooper: 50-1 Joe Kennedy III: 66-1 Kirsten Gillibrand: 66-1 Dwayne Johnson (The Rock): 66-1 Mike Gravel: 66-1 Ben Sasse: 66-1 Gretchen Whitmer: 66-1 Mike Bloomberg: 66-1 Tim Kaine: 66-1 Susan Collins: 75-1 Lisa Murkowski: 75-1 Jeb Bush: 80-1 Tom Brady: 80-1 Mark Cuban: 80-1 Joni Ernst: 80-1 John Kasich: 80-1 George Clooney: 80-1 Leonardo DiCaprio: 80-1 Nancy Pelosi: 80-1 Kim Kardashian: 80-1 Orrin Hatch: 80-1 Oscar De La Hoya: 80-1 Mike Dewine: 80-1 Terry McAuliffe: 80-1 Jared Kushner: 80-1 Catherine Cortez-Masto: 80-1 Rahm Emanuel: 80-1 Howard Schultz: 80-1 Ben Carson: 80-1 Chris Murphy: 80-1 Ted Cruz: 80-1 Steve Bullock: 80-1 Amy Klobuchar: 80-1 Trey Gowdy: 80-1 Jesse Ventura: 80-1 Mitt Romney: 80-1 Scott Walker: 80-1 Michael Bennet: 80-1 Evan McMullin: 100-1 Kelly Loeffler: 100-1 Wayne Messam: 100-1 John McAfee: 100-1 John Kerry: 100-1 Seth Moulton: 100-1 Marianne Williamson: 100-1 Mitch McConnell: 100-1 Sally Yates: 100-1 Jason Kander: 100-1 Lindey Graham: 100-1 Jeff Flake: 100-1 Jeff Mattis: 100-1 Rand Paul: 100-1 Richard Ojeda: 100-1 Tom Steyer: 100-1 Jeff Merkley: 100-1 Jamie Dimon: 100-1 Gavin Newsom: 100-1 Ray Dalio: 100-1 Chris Christie: 100-1 William H. McRaven: 100-1 John Delaney: 100-1 Condoleezza Rice: 150-1 Lara Trump: 150-1 Kayleigh McEnany: 150-1 Vincent Viola: 150-1 Stormy Daniels: 150-1 Andrew Gillum: 150-1 Rick Perry: 150-1 Carolina Kennedy: 150-1 Beyonce: 150-1 Bobby Jindal: 150-1 Bill de Blasio: 150-1 Carly Fiorina: 150-1 Gary Johnson: 175-1 Sarah Palin: 175-1 James Comey: 175-1 Justin Amash: 175-1 Rick Santorum: 175-1 Michael Avenatti: 200-1 Ann Coulter: 200-1 Sidney Powell: 275-1 Lin Wood: 275-1 Jon Voight: 275-1 Betsy DeVos: 275-1 Kimberly Guilfoyle: 275-1 Vince McMahon: 275-1 Steve Bannon: 275-1 Bob Iger: 275-1 Rufus Gifford: 275-1 Roy Cooper: 275-1 Ben Shapiro: 275-1 Chelsea Clinton: 275-1 Angelina Jolie: 275-1 Mitch Landrieu: 275-1 Eminem: 275-1 Neil deGrasse Tyson: 275-1 Bill Gates: 275-1 Mark Zuckerberg: 275-1 Amanda Abbington: 500-1 Jim Gilmore: 500-1 Howie Hawkins: 500-1 Al Franken: 500-1 Marty Walsh: 500-1 Jill Stein: 500-1 Jo Jorgensen: 500-1 Meg Whitman: 500-1. Just on first look, I see some value here on Donald Trump (8-1), Mayor Pete (14-1), Tucker Carlson (50-1), Mark Cuban (80-1), and maybe a nibble on Al Franken at 500-1. Michelle Obama at 40-1 is also a little intriguing, as the question is at least as much about if she’d want to do it as her electability. Some of the odds don’t make any sense. For example, how could Oscar De La Hoya be on the same level as Mark Cuban, be over three times as likely as Bob Iger and six times as likely as Al Franken? Stormy Daniels also has better odds than several people who could actually conceivably win.
Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton Betting Odds: Who Has The Better Chance To Become President Of The United States? Betting sites favor Hillary Clinton to win the 2016 presidential election. Photo: Getty. While most news outlets reference the latest polls to gauge the upcoming presidential election, there are other ways to make sense out of understanding who will come out on top on Nov. 8. According to offshore betting odds, one candidate stands well above the rest with almost two months remaining until election day. British betting website SkyBet lists the top four candidates for the presidential election and has Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton as the heavy favorite. Clinton has 2/5 betting odds to win, while her top competition, Republican nominee Donald Trump, has 7/4 odds. The chances of an electoral-college landslide are also high for Clinton. The best odds (3/1) are that Clinton wins by 330-369 electoral votes, while there are 8/1 odds that Clinton wins by 420 or more. It isn't just SkyBet that has Clinton up by a large margin. Twenty-seven other betting sites have Clinton winning the election by highly favorable odds. The current odds are striking similar to the ones on Sept. 7, 2012. Ladbrokes, another British betting site, had given 2/5 odds for then-incumbent nominee Barack Obama's victory, while Republican nominee Mitt Romney had 15/8 odds. Obama defeated Romney by an electoral landslide, 332-206. Obama received 51.1 percent of the vote, compared to Romney's 47.2 percent. The current betting odds point to a more one-sided contest than recent national polls. In a four-way contest, Clinton is up by just two points in both a GWU/Battleground poll and an Economist/YouGov poll. Last week, a CNN/ORC poll had Trump leading by two points. Clinton has leads in key battleground states. Polls in New Hampshire, Virginia, Nevada, North Carolina and Florida had Clinton holding at least a small advantage. Those five states have an electoral-vote total of 67. The betting odds are not favorable to the third-party candidates. Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson is a 150-to-1 longshot, while Green Party nominee Jill Stein is an even bigger longshot at 400-1. Johnson came in at 11 percent in the GWU/Battleground poll, while Stein polled at three percent.
Arizona Tribal Casinos, Pro Teams Included In Sports Betting Proposal. Sports betting proposals have been shot down in Arizona for various reasons over the past few years, but 2021 could be different. That’s because of two important factors. First, Gov. Doug Ducey stated he wants legal AZ sports betting in his State of the State address. Second, Ducey told legislators he renegotiated compacts with Arizona’s gaming tribes, which were set to expire in 2022 . That allows for another expansion of gaming in the addition of keno , and could indicate broader appetite for compromise. A joint proposal in HB 2772 and SB 1797 would legalize sports betting as well as daily fantasy sports and keno. Both have been read twice and will get committee hearings next week. Sports betting wouldn’t be allowed until those renegotiated compacts are signed and approved at the federal level. Proposed Arizona sports betting details. The proposed legislation – called event wagering in the actual bills – states sports betting can be operated by gaming tribes on their land and by professional sports teams, NASCAR and the PGA Tour off-reservation. There would be 20 total licenses, half for the pro sports operators and half for tribal operators. That could get some pushback considering there are 16 tribes that operate 24 casinos throughout the state. There are also fewer than 10 professional sports operators that would qualify as an event wagering operator: MLB’s Diamondbacks NBA’s Suns and WNBA’s Mercury (both owned by Robert Sarver ) NFL’s Cardinals NHL’s Coyotes Phoenix Raceway TPC Scottsdale. Kiosks in play as well. The stadiums, arenas, and courses associated with the above teams and leagues could also offer betting kiosks. They could also partner with one horse racing track to offer betting there as well. Their apps would be geofenced so they couldn’t operate on tribal land, however. The bills suggest each licensee could have more than one online sports betting skin with no maximum listed. The event wagering operators could be licensed for five years while sportsbook operators would get two-year licenses. No fees or tax rates were defined in the bills. What kind of betting would be allowed? The proposal specifically legalizes betting on both esports and Olympic contests. Those can sometimes be overlooked or not explicitly be allowed, causing confusion for regulators. Betting on the outcome of college sports is allowed under the proposal, but prop betting on collegiate events is prohibited. Bettors would be allowed to wager on in-state schools. The Arizona Department of Gaming gets the power to authorize what kind of props and parlays can be offered on pro sports. Professional sports leagues could make out pretty well in the bill. They can request real-time betting data from operators and can also enter into agreements with licenses for n integrity fee . Official league data would also be required if a league requested. Other states could benefit from AZ sports betting. Arizona has five border states, three of which – Colorado , Nevada and New Mexico – all have some form of legal sports betting. It’s hopeful bettors in those other two border states of California and Utah could benefit. Sports betting in California is a tricky issue that involves tribal gaming operators wanting sports betting for themselves. And you might have a better chance of meeting a unicorn than passing sports betting in Utah. The fact that there’s no in-person registration mentioned in the legislation means bettors in either state would only need to cross into Arizona to legally place a bet.
Michigan Online Sports Betting Review: How 6 Apps Fared, Plus Early User Data Figures. Michigan launched online sports betting on January 22, with a handful of companies offering their services in the 10th most populous state in America. I downloaded six of the sports betting apps to test them out during the first weekend. Here is a look at how they fared in terms of downloads, potential market share and promotional offers. DraftKings: The app from Draftkings Inc (NASDAQ: DKNG) is incredibly easy to use, which shouldn’t come as a surprise given the company's strong market share in the states it operates in. What was surprising was how hard it was at first to login and use the app during the first weekend live in Michigan. The app crashed numerous times and unfortunately became the app used the least by me due to tech problems. DraftKings offered signup bonuses, matching deposits and $100 free to play blackjack in the casino portion of the app. The company had some bets that were pretty close to being guaranteed winners, such as on the chances of a first quarter touchdown or more than 0.5 touchdowns scored in the NFL Conference Championship. FanDuel: Flutter Entertainment ADR 's (OTC: PDYPY) FanDuel app had several login problems for me, but operated very well during the first few days of legal betting in the state. The app did feature a warning the first couple days that due to increased volume, settlement on some winning bets could take up to 30 minutes. Barstool Sportsbook: The Barstool Sportsbook was launched by Penn National Gaming, Inc (NASDAQ: PENN) in Michigan. Barstool offered $10 in free bets for new users in the state and another $5 for those who filled out their favorite sports on their profile. One of the things that really sets the app apart from the competition is Barstool's unique personalities for betting ideas, such as odds boosts and suggested bets. BetRivers: The lesser known BetRivers brand comes from Rush Street Interactive Inc (NYSE: RSI), which went public via a SPAC. The company offered free promotional money to people who signed up on opening weekend. The app was easy to use and offered a wide range of prop bets and odds-boosted events. Many of the boosted bets came with limits of $100, higher than competitors. PointsBet: Another lesser known company, PointsBet Holdings Ltd. (OTC: PBTHF), puts out one of the apps I was looking forward to testing out. One of the promotions PointsBet offered was betting on the Detroit Pistons spread. For every point the Pistons scored, users got $1 in free bets. BetMGM: A joint venture between MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) and GVC International, the BetMGM app is very easy to use, and I was surprised with the amount of odds boosts from the company. Other Options: Other companies that launched in Michigan but whose apps I did not test or download were Golden Nugget Online Gaming (NASDAQ: GNOG), William Hill, Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ: WYNN) and TwinSpires, owned by Churchill Downs, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHDN). Michigan also recently approved sports betting and online poker from Fox Bet, which is partially owned by Fox Corp (NASDAQ: FOX) and Flutter Entertainment. Early App Data: Michigan is expected to release official sports betting figures in late February. Bank of America analyst Shaun C. Kelley is out with some early data about the companies that launched online sports betting and iGaming in Michigan. App download data shows DraftKings and FanDuel as the early leaders in the state with 40% and 27% market share, respectively. Barstool Sportsbook and BetMGM fought it out for third place with 14% and 13% of app downloads, respectively. The app downloads showed lower numbers from William Hill, PointsBet and TwinSpires. BetRivers offered an online download and not a mobile app, so downloads were not reported. Kelley sees Michigan market share shaking out to 30% share for each of FanDuel and DraftKings, and 10% to 15% each for Barstool Sportsbook and BetMGM. Others could have single digit market share, according to Kelley. Benzinga’s Take: As you can see, the betting platforms tested offered some large incentives to get users to sign-up as well as place bets on Michigan-related teams. The question will now turn to which app is the best and easiest to use and which one users stick around for. The early results show sets of tiers for the sports betting players in Michigan. DraftKings and FanDuel look like early winners, followed by Barstool and BetMGM. The race could be for third place, then shaking out if any other app can gain 5% share in the state.
Go big or go home: America’s multi-billion dollar sports betting business. Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest sporting -- and betting -- event of the year. Despite the pandemic, bookkeepers are expecting wagers worth more than $4 billion this year. Since its expansion outside Nevada in 2018, the legal betting industry has ballooned, with New Jersey emerging as the biggest market in the country. Hari Sreenivasan reports on why, the odds are, the industry will keep growing. Read the Full Transcript. Hari Sreenivasan: It's Super Bowl weekend, which means that in addition to two teams playing for the NFL championship, it's also the biggest betting event of the year. 23 million people will wager an estimated $4.3 billion dollars on the game according to industry estimates. Betting has always been part of sports – legal or not, but since the expansion of legal sports betting outside of Nevada in 2018. It's suddenly much more visible. Just over the Hudson River from New York City, at the Fanduel Sportsbook at the Meadowlands in New Jersey, capacity is limited to 35 percent as a COVID precaution. But that doesn't mean that it's not busy. Andrew Kleiman: We've done our best to create an environment where they're able to at least feel comfortable being in here and be socially distanced so I don't think the excitement is any different. I think, if anything, the excitement is more this year than it was last year. Hari Sreenivasan: Andrew Kleiman is the Senior Director of Operations for the sportsbook. It is the largest sports betting operation in the country, and part of the dramatic growth of the industry in New Jersey since becoming legal. Last year, New Jersey sportsbooks took in nearly $400 million in revenue. It was nearly $100 million more than 2019, despite the pandemic. And it generated more than $50 million in state taxes. Andrew Kleiman: When we were able to open up, it almost was like a perfect storm where all the sports came back, and people actually wagered more than they did last year. So needless to say, it was a really good year for us. Hari Sreenivasan: The growth has also been driven by the fact that in New Jersey, you don't have to physically be here, you can just use your phone. In fact, more than 90 percent of the wagers in New Jersey are done online. It's part of a huge change since New Jersey led the effort nationally to legalize sports gambling outside of Nevada. As Newshour Weekend reported back in 2015, boosters of sports betting in the Garden State had been pushing to legalize the practice for years. In central New Jersey one racetrack even preemptively built out this space in anticipation of the rules changing. In May of 2018, the Supreme Court struck down a 1992 law that had prohibited it. and within months, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy was placing a legal bet in that same sports book that had been built years earlier. Today, 20 states and Washington D.C. have legalized sports gambling in some form, with another 19 either considering legislation or working on regulations to actually start operations. Chris Grove: We're unlikely to see another expansion of gambling that occurs this rapidly for a generation, if not more. Hari Sreenivasan: Chris Grove is a partner at Eilers and Kreijek Gaming, an independent research firm that follows the industry. Chris Grove: I think that it's certainly possible that we could see the number of states where sports betting is available crest over 30 by the end of the year. Some of that increased interest in state legislatures does come from the budgetary pressures brought about by the global pandemic. But to be honest, much of that momentum was already existing in state capitals. Hari Sreenivasan: New Jersey, is currently the biggest market in the country with more than $6 billion in wagers in 2020. But Grove says this will change as the industry matures and more states legalize sports betting. Chris Grove: It is a temporary crown, unfortunately, for the good folks in the Garden State. Generally speaking, with some exceptions on the margins, the largest states from a sports betting revenue perspective are going to be the states with the largest populations. Hari Sreenivasan: Grove also says that the growth has come as media and sports leagues themselves have embraced gambling. Both ESPN and FS1 feature daily shows devoted to sports betting. Information on betting odds are now displayed on the ticker on networks like ESPN, and media companies and teams have official gambling partners, and feature betting content during games. NBA Halftime show: Right now the Nets are underdogs, getting six and a half points. Chris Grove: I think you're also going to see those partnerships continue to deepen and you are going to see increased integrations, whether it's some of the more subtle things, or more all-in integrations like like custom blocks of content that are gambling first and sports second. I don't think it's overstating it to use the word ubiquitous. I think you are going to see that kind of ubiquitous integration. Hari Sreenivasan: Grove believes it is in this area where we could see new regulation in the future. Chris Grove: I think it's going to be an interesting dialog between sports teams, leagues, betting operators, consumers and, of course, regulators who do have a history in the US of weighing in on what kind of advertising, in what context is appropriate. Hari Sreenivasan: Back in New Jersey, despite the availability of online betting, Andrew Kleiman says many people still prefer to place bets in person, which is the only way to use just cash. While there's a lot of focus on who will win the game, Kleiman says keep an eye on the pregame coin toss: it's one of the most popular bets not related to the game's outcome.. Andrew Kleiman: It's a 50-50 opportunity. And it's just one of those things that you sit there and you just hope for the best, but you also want your customers to win too. Hari Sreenivasan: And in case you're wondering, as of yesterday, the heavy favorite in terms of money wagered at least, was tails.

My Favourite Sports Betting Blogs — 10 Of The Best. Want to learn more about professional sports betting? Looking for a source of inspiration? Well you could firstly read my posts from the Professional Betting section of this site… Alternatively, try some of my favourite sports betting blogs from the list below. Betfair Pro Trader. James Butler, the author of ‘ Betfair Trading Techniques’ and ‘ Programming for Betfair’ has published a free information source aimed at sophisticated Betfair traders looking for an edge. The author doesn’t shy away from stating the difficulties in finding an an advantage from sports betting (like me). I agree with the principles he teaches, and have in fact purchased his books myself. Trader247. As the free WordPress domain name might suggest, Trader247 isn’t as commercial as many other blogs on this list. But it’s authentic, and was one of the most active automated trading/bot development blogs out there. Great reading for those looking to trade professionally through developing their own betting application. Daily 25. The blog’s original gimmick was to document earning $25 a day, or $10,000 a year, from sports betting. It’s since grown into a target of $250 a day, or $100,000 a year. The site is certainly more commercial than most other sites in this list — but I like many elements of it. In particular I rate the concept of Tipster tracking, and the way the blog frequently promotes value betting. Smart Sports Trader. Ryan, the writer of Smart Sports Trader, has pieced together an excellent starting point for any aspiring professional bettor. His blog posts provide detailed tutorials, as well as (often little-known) product recommendations aimed at helping readers to generate consistent profits from the sports betting markets. Ryan documents his progress in a diary format, giving insights to hits and misses throughout his sports betting journey. Soccer Widow. When I first started to learn about sports betting I found several articles on this site very helpful. The website’s author — the German “Soccer Widow” — shares her findings, experiences, and knowledge on the betting markets with her readers. Her site is a good entry point for those seeking smart ways to earn from sports betting, and it touches on several mathematical approaches without making it too complex to understand. Matched Betting Blog. Matched Betting Blog provides free information on promotions for Matched Betting. What I particularly like is the level of detail on each promotion, as well as the supporting tutorials. Whilst the site is no substitute for a premium Matched Betting service like OddsMonkey, it’s an excellent site for practising the basics. Opta Pro Blog. The OptaPro blog features news & analysis brought to you from the cutting-edge data provider — Opta Sports. Whilst their articles aren’t exclusively aimed at a sports betting audience, the data presented may give you some ideas for developing your own system or predictive model. Caan Berry. Betfair trader Caan Berry documents his progress from the point he quit his full time job to focus on betting. His blog is an excellent resource for aspiring traders. He’s published many tutorials on topics such as Reading Betfair Charts & Graphs, which provide lots of sensible (and detailed) tips to help improve your approach to trading. Proceed with care though, as becoming a successful Betfair trader isn’t easy. Church Of Betting. Sports betting blogger Nenko covers familiar ground, such as arbitrage, tipsters, sports trading, and his speciality — value betting. His detailed, unique analyses offer a technical insight into the sports betting markets. Many of his points & observations I have not read elsewhere. Green All Over. Established in 2008, the Green All Over blog is an independent, common sense, look at challenges and opportunities in sports investing. The writer has an excellent technical understanding of sports betting probabilities, and a passion for statistics. While this blogspot-hosted site looks dated and in need of modernisation — don’t be deceived. It’s one of the longest-standing, most detailed sports betting blogs out there. Gods Of Odds. The GodsOfOdds blog is new to the scene, launching in 2019. Early content has been focused around the basics of profitable sports betting, with several insights to the tipster industry. The analyses and educational articles are some of the highest quality I’ve seen on their respective topics. I have no doubts that readers of this site will enjoy this blog. The site has enormous potential, if the creators persist in creating more content to the current standard.
Sports Betting Blog. We’ve developed this blog at The Sports Geek to add some dynamic and very useful information regarding sports and betting on sports. We hope that you find the articles here helpful and really enjoy reading them. We plan to keep this blog updated regularly, with new articles to make sure that our readers are getting what they deserve.

Sports Betting in Illinois. Is sports betting legal in Illinois? Yes! Here are the online betting websites we partner with: Table of Contents. What are the best online betting sites in Illinois? It has hard to pick one online sportsbook that stands out as the best. Only four betting sites have launched so far: BetRivers, DraftKings, FanDuel, PointsBet, and William Hill. The sports betting rollout is slow in Illinois. The first retail sportsbooks opened in March 2020 which means some online sportsbooks might not come until September of 2021. Casinos such as Rivers Casino Des Plaines were able to roll out their BetRivers app sooner since both the casino and the app are owned by Rush Street Gaming which is based in Illinois. But, popular sportsbooks such as DraftKings, FanDuel, Pointsbet, and William Hill have secured deals with casinos and racetracks and have received licenses from the IGB. Unibet has also secured market access through a deal with Penn National Gaming. Governor Pritzker did suspend the rule for in-person registration in June 2020 but it was brought back a month later after casinos reopened. He has recently gone back on that decision and now again allows for remote registration. This executive order will again only last for a month. Where Can You Bet on Sports while in Illinois? Seven casinos in Illinois have received licenses: Rivers Casino Des Plaines Argosy Casino Alton Grand Victoria Casino Elgin Hollywood Casino Aurora Hollywood Casino Joliet Casino Queen, Inc. Par-A-Dice Hotel Casino. There are also racetracks with sportsbooks: Hawthorne Race Course Fairmount Park. The first casino to launch a land-based sportsbook in Illinois was Rivers Casino Des Plaines. They did so a week before March Madness 2020 was supposed to take place . The tournament, however, was unfortunately canceled. The most recent casino sportsbook to launch is Par-A-Dice Casino which partnered with FanDuel. Hawthorne Race Course has a partnership with PointsBet and launched just in time for NFL kickoff. Other racetracks can also open a sportsbook by law. Certain other locations that are approved to open a sportsbook in Illinois still haven’t been built quite yet. They were part of the Rebuild Illinois Plan . The Chicago Cubs have also announced building a sportsbook at Wrigley Field , as they have partnered with DraftKings. But these plans have yet to fully develop as they need city approval. Due to COVID-19 precautions, the sportsbooks may open with limited capacity and other health protocols. What are the best legal sportsbooks in Illinois? Simply put, the best legal sportsbooks in Illinois are the ones that are currently open. BetRivers at Rivers Casino Des Plaines was the first to open so it is, perhaps, the most known. Fans of different sportsbook operators might enjoy other venues. William Hill operates in Grand Victoria Casino, DraftKings operates out of Casino Queen, and Argosy Casino has its own in-house brand. There are 10 existing casinos that could potentially open a sportsbook in Illinois. There are also casinos that haven’t been built yet that plan to open with sportsbooks. As the industry grows, check back here because we will list all the top operators.
Sports Betting Is Now Legal in Illinois. In 2019 a whole process of legalization of sports betting started in Illinois, and now people there are finally able to bet on their favorite games and teams, without breaking any laws and rules. In the USA, there are general laws, but every state has an option to accept them, improve, update, or change, as needed. Even though betting and gambling are legal, not every state accepts it as a normal entertaining activity, and some of them are still strict about that. It seems like it took a lot of time until the legalization process is completed, but we have to know that the pandemic made things pretty difficult. But, people there are finally happy to know that they can bet on the most popular sportsbooks like BetRivers, William Hill, DraftKings, PointsBet, and of course, FanDuel. In the initial phases of the legalization, the bettors could register online, but they also had an obligation to confirm their identity right at the physical betting place. The start of the pandemic made things easier for this part because that was the moment when the Governor allowed the people to register with their smartphones. Source: AP file photos. How was this important law developed? The whole process started in 2018 when the authorities showed interest to legalize sports betting in Illinois. This law started in the Illinois House and Senate, and the legislation was confirmed in 2019 by Governor Pritzker, who signed the bill a few days later. In 2019, legislation was brought, with one condition – making this action taxable, and the money from that will go directly to the state’s budget. In March 2020 the first legal bet was placed, and in June the first online betting app was released. As a result, people who live there can still bet, even though initially it was a temporary decision. But, as time goes by, we can see that every person over the age of 21 can legally gamble on sports events. The unit named Illinois Gaming Board is the one that is responsible for the regulations and their improvements over time. What can we tell about the sportsbooks? We already mentioned the five sportsbook apps available in this state. DraftKings is allowing mobile betting, and the user can join them from any point in the state’s territory. Their supporter is Casino Queen. FanDuel is supported by Par-A-Dice Casino, and they also let the bettors join remotely. PointsBet is in a partnership with Hawthorne Race Course, and they are available for the betting enthusiasts since September 2020. BetRivers is a part of Rush Street Interactive, and in the initial phases, people needed to visit Rivers Casino Des Plaines to confirm their registrations. William Hill is a well-known brand in the betting world, and they offer many benefits for the most loyal players. What are the most favorite sports tips in Illinois? According to the sources in the sportsbook betting places, bettors love to pick a winner and put their money on that. They follow the books and check the odds, so they can choose their favorite team for that day. Another favorite tip is predicting the difference between the points the teams will get during the game. For example, you can choose that one team will win, but as an addition, you can try to guess the exact result or the difference that will make them winners in the game. Also, you can try to predict over and underscores for every team in one match. The enthusiasts and experienced gamblers can choose to combine one or two tips, and usually, that results in big payouts. But, it’s a lot more complicated to predict something like that, than just picking up your favorite team as a winner. Source: Press of Atlantic City. How to bet in Illinois? The process is simple. You either have to visit a known URL or download the app you find the best for you. Then, you have to create an account and register with the information you are asked for. In order to start your account, you will need to deposit some minimal fund, and start playing. The money is usually transferred through the authorized payment method you choose. When you win, you have a few options for withdrawal. You can transfer the money to your bank account, or you can move them to some electronic wallet, like PayPal or Skrill. Some of these apps will let you make payments with the virtual money in some places, especially fast-food restaurants they have a deal with. You can choose love betting, or fixed tips, and that depends on your gambling habits and beliefs. If you feel lucky, you can try with risky bets, but if you don’t feel like that, but still want to place some bet, you can go for winning bets. As soon as it was completely legalized, sports betting brought huge revenue to the state. Also, it’s the largest American state that legalized this type of gambling. So, we can say that we all expect that 2021 will be a great year for Illinois when it comes to profit from gambling activities. With laws like this, a huge responsibility comes too. When a gambling or betting place is promoting their services, they must be careful if they target the right audience. Underage people are not able to bet until they turn 21 years. A lot of people are suffering from a gambling addiction, and that’s one of the reasons why it was so difficult for some states to accept these laws and adapt them in their policies and legislations. But, that doesn’t mean betting places and apps shouldn’t exist. People should be responsible for their actions, and no matter where they are in the world, self-control is one of the skills they must have, so they can avoid losing a lot of money on sports tips.

US Election Betting Odds. It may be surprising to some sports bettors that betting on politics is one of the more popular entertainment betting markets in the United States. While the US Election only happens every four years, sportsbooks offer futures on the next President of the United States almost as soon as a new one takes office. We’re here to guide you through the 2024 US Presidential Election betting odds and help you with your political betting strategy. These were last updated on January 18, 2021: How to Bet on the 2024 US Election. First and foremost, we want to make sure you understand how to bet on political odds . Understanding the different betting types (while they’re fairly straight forward) will help you figure out which bets are the smartest, and will win the most cash. Elections are long and drawn out - especially the US election , where a term lasts four years and candidates essentially begin campaigning for the following election as soon as the President takes office. The first step is to understand Presidential betting odds . US Election Betting Odds. When it comes to political betting , the odds are usually the most important puzzle piece , as you have to be able to understand the difference between an underdog and favorite, as well as recognize which candidate the sportsbooks are adjusting lines for, and where the consensus is leaning in terms of betting dollars. These odds can also be displayed in fractional or decimal odds , depending on your online sportsbook. When it comes to calculating probability - there really isn’t a rule for American odds, so it’s important to convert your odds to decimal. For negative odds (favored political odds) -300: 1 - (100 / 300) = 1.333. Now that you have your decimal odds, we can help you calculate your winnings and implied probability. Decimal odds are essentially your odds multiplied by your stake, then subtract your stake. 4.0 odds would be calculated as (4.0 * $10) - $10 = $40 in winnings 1.33 would be (1.33 * $10) = $10 = $13.30. To calculate your implied probability of winning your bet, you essentially divide 1/decimal odds which is 1/ 4.0. This gives an implied probability of 25%. Implied probability is an important part of your political betting strategy and will help you improve your chances of winning in the long term. If you did well in math class as a kid, you’re well on your way to understanding fractional betting odds. If you see a fractionated number, like 10/1, this means someone has a ten to one chance of winning the election. The formula looks like this: B/(A+B) = % So, how much will you win on fractional US election betting odds? It’s pretty simple actually. For every value on the right side of the fraction you wager, you will win the left. So 9/1 odds - for each $1 wagered, you will win $9. 1/ 4 odds - for each $4 wagered you win $1. US Election Futures Betting. The only real betting option for political betting is the futures market . A futures bet is essentially a prediction of a certain outcome, and who will win. You can place a bet on the Odds to Win the 2024 Presidential Election and have a list of candidates to choose from with differing odds depending on how likely it is that they win. You can score some great value on presidential futures, or any political futures if you predict the outcome of the political race . Many favored candidates have plus-money odds, even if they’re most likely to win. The further away you lock in your bet, the better the odds usually are, as political odds are always changing and it’s important to keep an eye on them. Other popular US markets include predicting the Democratic or Republican Candidate , the winning party, popular vote winner, the gender of the next President, House of Representatives election winner, and even state-by-state Congressional District bets.
