The Bookie Brief: Sportsbooks Favor Andrew Yang To Be Next Mayor Of New York 1/12/2021

• Andrew Yang has the shortest odds at +175 to be elected as the next Mayor of New York.
• Donald Trump now has +1200 odds to be the Republican nominee in the 2024 US Presidential Election.

NEW YORK — After a mob of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capital in protest of the 2020 US Presidential Election results, many politicians have called for President Trump to resign while Democrats have begun the process of drafting articles of impeachment.

This has caused President Trump to make his first public statement since the riot and after being banned from various social media platforms.

The riot and impeachment process have made the 2024 Presidential Election odds longer for Trump. He now has +1200 odds to become the Republican Nominee even though the betting lines opened up with him being a +160 favorite.

New York Mayor Election Betting Odds

New York will be looking for a new mayor this year as the incumbent Bill de Blasio is unable to run again because of term limits. There will be a primary election on June 22 followed by a general election on November 2 to decide who will lead one of America’s most prominent cities amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The New York Mayors race betting odds are posted at BetOnline with a familiar face atop the odds board.

Former Democratic Presidential Candidate Andrew Yang is favored to become the next Mayor of NYC with +175 odds despite not having officially announced that he’s running. It’s widely assumed that Yang will eventually enter the race for the Mayor’s office, joining an already crowded field of at least nine candidates.

Declared NYC Mayor Candidate Names Not On Oddsboard

• Carlos Menchaca
• Loree Sutton

These two candidates may get added to the odds board as we get closer to the date of the primary but that’s at the discretion of the legal sports betting sites hosting this line.

Outside of Yang there remain some solid betting options including the +250 odds on current NYC comptroller Scott Stringer and the +275 odds for former New York Senator Eric Adams round out the only candidates with betting odds shorter than +500.

If having to pick between Stringer or Adams, take the +250 on Stringer as his current position gives him an edge over Adams but also until Yang officially commits to this race Stringer can be considered the frontrunner.
