Among the bookies, Unibet has gone ahead to offer the odds to the likeliest party to clinch the top seat. The odds are as follows;

Democrats -121
Republicans +100
Independent/ Other parties +5000

The above bookies have not offered odds on whether Donald Trump will be impeached. However, Betfair has offered the odds as follows;

Will Trump be impeached?

Yes -300
No +250

Going by the bookies, Donald Trump is the favorite to retain the seat with the odds at Unibet (+125), Bet365 (+110), and William Hill (+100) backing his re-election. The impeachment motion has not affected the odds majorly with just a slight change noted. The closest competitors are drawn from the Democrats where Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Michael Bloomberg, and Pete Buttigieg are giving Trump a chase.

Joe Biden is closely looking to become the Democrat candidate. The former VP is a popular figure among the party and commands a good following which would see him topple Elizabeth Warren for the Democrat ticket. This is not to discredit the Senator from Massachusetts who is a strong lady and commands a huge urban crowd of anti-Trumpers

Bernie Sanders is another top likeliest candidate to clinch the ticket and ultimately battle it up with Donald Trump. Part of the 2016 appeal saw him connect with young people and if he is to connect with them once more then he would stand a chance. But several factors hinder him. Pete Buttigieg has taken that young people’s ‘post’ and Bernie’s age may be a factor to consider among the voters. Michael Bloomberg is another popular figure and wealthy enough to finance some of the early races. His track record speaks for itself in both the public sector and the private sector. Andrew Yang is another candidate to look out for. The odds are not high in favor of him but we have seen outsiders toppling over. A case of Trump and Hilton in 2016.

US Election Betting 2020 Predictions: Tips

Some of the tips players need to follow as they bet on politics include;

  • Timing – Backing an underdog earlier can depict huge returns if the results turn to your favor. Trump’s 2016 victory was one such result where those who had backed him earlier had a field day.
  • Economic trends – If the economy is not aligning properly, the rival may opt to bring a ’change’ through their candidate and this is a tip to consider
  • Don’t focus only on winner markets – The general elections in many cases have parties that are seen as favorites or those that are closely tied. Odds offered here are not ‘value bets’ and chances of a good payout are low. You can choose to bet on other party primaries and such like. Always remember, the good value will come down to line betting.
  • Don’t bet based on your political preferences – Like other sports, learn to be objective. Never bet on your favorite party simply because of ‘sycophancy’. Don’t be one-sided as you read the facts and polls. Try to gather other different agendas before making your bet
  • Populism and party loyalty – Times have changed and populism has been backed more than party loyalty in politics. Many people go with popular figures which is another tip you should look to consider
