    Once the candidates are in place? I seem to remember from many years ago, it was not allowed, but today am not certain

    They won’t, no reason to wait if they were allowed.

    Who you like?

      I don't think they can make a line or lines if they don't knon if there is a 3rd party running...and who that candidate might be. But I see your point.

        You make more money betting it live. Like in 2020 if you bet Trump at 8 am on election day you will have plus odds and if you bet Biden at 11 pm you would have plus odds so whoever won you will win money.

            That's already happened for 2024 as well but just in lower + money.

              Politics aren't even rigged durinig the contest, they are pre-selected and rigged in advance. Your vote is your own illusion that you keep telling yourself it matters. So, yes, you can bet on it they will have lines.

                There are court cases underway by prediction market operators like Predictit for the legal right to keep offering odds.

                Not really sure what the basis is of the objection to election betting in the US. I think it's pretty normal in most other countries.

                  In this scenario I would have let my Trump ticket ride as I am holding a plus odds ticket and I'm not interested in betting Biden as big chalk.

                    Biden at +187 is absolute gold, no way can you turn that down.

                            All the books have odds out long time ago.

                              It was +225 a few weeks ago.
