LONDON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 30th October, 2020) Bookmakers in the United Kingdom are currently predicting that Democrat candidate Joe Biden will emerge victorious in the upcoming US presidential election.
As of 12:30 GMT on Friday, the William Hill bookmaker had Biden at odds of 11/20 to win the November 3 election. These odds mean that the bettor can expect to win $11 for every $20 waged.
According to William Hill, incumbent President Donald Trump is 6/4 to win a second term in office.
Bet365 and SkyBet, two other prominent UK bookmakers, have Biden ahead with odds of 1/2 and 4/9, respectively.
