With the US Presidential Election just days away the betting is really beginning to heat up with both Donald Trump and Joe Biden attracting plenty of money. Joe Biden remains a clear favourite to win the election and has attracted a significant amount of money in recent days but Australian bookmakers are nervous that Donald Trump could cause another upset at the polls.
Bookmakers stand to lose tens of millions if Trump wins the election while online betting exchange Betfair reports that almost $00m has already been matched on the election, that figure is expected to increase significantly over the coming days.
