What are election betting odds? Expert explains why Trump is current favorite
Fox News
Maxim Lott of ElectionBettingOdds.com explained election betting markets to Fox News Digital and how they can be a better predictor of the outcome than polls.
Michael Lee is a writer for Fox News. Prior to joining Fox News, Michael worked for the Washington Examiner, Bongino.com, and Unbiased America. He has covered politics for more than eight years.
The comments come as Lott’s website, which uses data from five different betting sites to display a betting average, shows Trump has a 58.5% chance of winning the presidential election as of Monday.
Lott’s website isn’t the only one tracking the betting odds, with popular sites such as RealClearPolitics, which has become known over the years for tracking polling averages, joining the fray.
