WASHINGTON – The 2020 Presidential Election is bringing with it a slew of prop bets and sports bettors are now taking action on the total voter turnout.

Sports bettors are leaning heavily towards the Over for both total voters as well as the percentage of voters. Political bettors expect this election to bring out the numbers on both sides.

There has already been a larger turnout of early voters and mail-in votes this election compared to 2016, showcasing an increase in voter activity well before the November 3 election day.

High Voter Turnout

With the 2020 Presidential Election leading to several betting odds for political bettors, betting on the voter turnout is an understandable next step at online sportsbooks.

The Over/Under on total voters is at 149.5 million, with sports bettors expecting the higher end of voters this election.

In 2016, only 138 million Americans voted in the general election. This was considered a very low turnout compared to the previous two elections.

The reason why many sports bettors are taking the over on this election could be due to the heightened political landscape in the country. Many loud voices on both sides have emerged showing US voters are being far more active.

In addition, early voting has seen a major turnout already. This has led to long lines at many voting booths.

The large number taking the Over is also indicative of sports bettors betting on the percentage of voters this election. While 58.1% of eligible voters voted in 2016, sports bettors are betting that Over 60.5% of voters will turn out this election.

Election day is only a few weeks away now, and sports bettors at legal sports betting site are taking heavy action leading up to the big day. There will be even more betting lines available surrounding the 2020 Presidential Election in the weeks to come.
