UK Biden Punters Hit Hard - For £8 million - Before The Race Even Started:
The current Betfair betting exchange tally for money staked on Joe Biden to be the next American president is currently £8,144,587.77. That's just with UK punters I presume. How many ante post bets on Biden went down in America and around the world is anyone's guess. Can you say bloodbath?I can't tell you for sure it's the biggest amount of money lost on a non runner, but I can't imagine how it's far off. To be honest, when it comes to being a big ante post loser, it's an off the charts loss. I can't recall anything of the like.
What I can say for sure, is when Kamala Harris took over the nomination to be the 2024 Democrat nominee for Potus, £8m was lost in an instant.
Current Potus Market Position:
What strikes me about the current state of the market, is how much the prices have moved just this week. 7 days ago it was neck and neck, pretty much even money who you like. Now Donald Trump has drawn into a clear lead as the 4/6fav.
This table is an illustration on money taken on the market, plus the current prices as they are right now (Oct 20, 2024), with a couple of weeks to go until election day (Nov 5, 2024).
