British Gambler Stakes $5 Million on Trump in Largest Ever Political Bet<\/h1>\n

93% of bets being placed on a Trump victory over the last 24 hours.<\/h3>\n

A British gambler has staked $5 million dollars on President Trump winning re-election in what is believed to be the largest ever political bet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to\u00a0the Sun<\/a>, the former banker used private bookmakers registered on the Caribbean island of Curacao and was able to secure odds of 37\/20, meaning he will receive a $15 million payout if Trump is victorious.<\/p>\n

Apparently, the high roller decided to place the gargantuan bet after a private consultation with \u201cTrump camp insiders.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWord of this bet has done the rounds and we think it\u2019s the biggest ever made on politics,\u201d one industry source told the newspaper.<\/p>\n

According to gambling comparison site OddsChecker, 71% of money wagered on the outcome of the election was in favor of Trump over four hours this morning, a figure that represents a \u201cremarkable\u201d swing according to the site\u2019s head of marketing, Sam Eaton.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 2020 election is following a very similar betting pattern to the one we witnessed back in 2016. The closer we got to Election Day, the more money came for Donald Trump,\u201d said Eaton.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s normal for part-time gamblers to make late bets on the underdog, which according to the polls is Trump, because they are guaranteed higher returns.<\/p>\n

However, according to Paddy Power, the numbers are massive, with 93% of bets being placed on a Trump victory over the last 24 hours.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven at the eleventh hour, punters are continuing to back Trump at the odds on offer,\u201d said Ladbrokes\u2019 Jessica O\u2019Reilly.<\/p>\n
