NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The final Presidential Debate has affected the betting lines at online sportsbooks. Although political bettors are still leaning towards former VP Joe Biden as the favorite, President Donald Trump’s odds have shortened.

Many sports bettors online think that Trump’s performance in the debate was superior to Biden’s, which may have affected the betting lines.

With the Election being just weeks away, now is the best time to look at the betting odds as there will likely be no more events that could greatly affect the 2020 Presidential Election like the final debate.

While Joe Biden remains the heavy favorite at multiple sportsbooks, it is interesting to note that sports bettors online believe the night was a win for Donald Trump.

Presidential Betting Odds

Prior to the debate, president Trump’s betting odds at Bovada was +155 to Biden’s -180. Now sitting at +135, Trump’s shifting odds can be attributed to his handling of the debate.

President Donald Trump managed to win over many potential voters by criticizing and examining Joe Biden’s 47 years as a career politician and eight of those years being spent in the White House.

Trump even went as far as to say the sole reason he ran for president was because of how bad of a job Joe Biden and President Barack Obama did.

“I ran because of you, Joe,” said Donald Trump. “I ran because of you. It’s all talk, no action with these politicians.”

While the Twitter polls and betting odds do reflect a shift in voters’ attention towards President Donald Trump, it is also important to note that Biden is ahead in many national polls, and is still the favorite.

With the different betting odds, however, this is the best time to shop the lines to find the best possible return on a bet.

If bettors are putting action on Biden winning the election, they may be tempted to lean towards betting at MyBookie. The -160 odds are the longest and thus the larger payout on a win.

With the November 3rd Election Day incoming, now is the best time to place a bet at legal sports betting sites.
