Buckle Up, Folks! The Political Betting Circus is Back in Town

In a plot twist that's sure to make your head spin, betters are almost evenly split on their picks for the presidential election, just 75 days out. Yeah, you heard right—it's a literal (and figurative) coin toss at this point.

Our gal Vice President Kamala Harris is hanging on to the narrowest lead over you-know-who, sitting pretty at -102 at Betfair Exchange. Remember when Hillary Clinton had a commanding lead of -323 at this point? Good times, good times.

And the pot? It's already bigger than 2016 but just shy of 2020's mark. Here's the tea:

• 2016: $38 million
• 2020: $79 million
• 2024: $70.5 million

Betting Odds: 75 Days Out

2024

• Harris: -102 (Because, you know, glass ceilings)
• Trump: +110 ( insert eye-roll emoji)

2020

• Biden: -132 (Sleepy Joe, my foot!)
• Trump: +144 (No comment.)

2016

• Clinton: -323 (We all know how that turned out.)
• Trump: +370 (Again, no comment.)

But How Accurate Are These Odds, Anyway?

Well, the betting favorite has only lost twice since 1866. So, there's that.

The upsets? 1948, when Harry Truman defied eight-to-one odds to kick Thomas Dewey to the curb, and, of course, 2016.
