    I have wagered on Trump winning at least 210 Electoral College votes:

    Only one of these payout events will happen:

    Trump gets 210 to 239: i win $1000

    Trump gets 240 to 269: i win $2000

    Trump wins 270+: i win $3000

    Trump gets less than 210: i lose $3000


    All wins are net, after paying off all other losing bets.

    I made a bet that Joe or Trump dies before the election. The payout was 40 to 1 Joe kicks the bucket and 50 to 1 Trump does.

    You can currently get 39:1 odds for trump to win 360-389 votes
    And 20:1 odds if he gets between 330-359
    7:1 for between 300-329
    5.5:1 for between 270-299


    The betting markets dont think trump has much chance of pulling off a large surprise win.

    I just saw a tweet about Trump crowds..
    a whole string of lefties talking about it being super spreader event and the hospitals being full.
    Someone said they live there and they are just going to stay in for 2 weeks.

    Its possible the Democrats have already done most of their voting because apparently they are far more fearful of Covid and don't want to stand in line.

    In which Trump could win big.

    Do you think that is why early voting is up?

    Trump says a lot of ballots are being tossed in rivers, so it's democrats' ballots being tossed.

    It depends on who is tossing them.
