Outside of two pretty awesome developments, there hasn’t been too much movement – or very many new Vegas political props – on the various online election betting boards.
So we’ll cover those and leave the more mundane fare for another post.
Check it out:

That’s right, folks!
It’s a simple equation, really:
Buyer’s Remorse + Schadenfreude = MAGA
Albeit “buyer’s remorse” implies there were actual buyers.
At any rate, Donald Trump is back on top where he belongs.
Granted he’s only a co-favorite with Joe Biden at the moment (which is so laughable because scroll all the way down), he’s gained ground bigly over the last week or so.
(Why it’s taken so long is anyone’s guess, but bettors have likely realized that a disproportionate amount of their online gambling winnings have suddenly been going toward $20 hamburgers and $4 gas while their neighbors and friends have been banned from earning a living.)
Even more impressively, The Donald’s odds to win the 2024 Republican primary have totally lapped The Ronald’s odds.
Earlier, they were literally neck and neck, with both statesmen hovering at about +350 on the betting boards.
Trump is now trending at +125, fully 375 points higher than DeSantis, who’s sitting in second at +500.
There is only one MAGA Man, after all:
To be clear, this isn’t an indictment on DeSantis’ leadership in Florida, and the political tides aren’t turning against him.
He’s every bit a bogeyman to the left and a countryman to the right as he was last week, last month, and last year.
The difference here is that 45 has strongly implied that he’ll be running in 2024, while DeSantis has already suggested that he’s not fool enough to pull a Ted Cruz and commit career suicide by challenging the GOAT for the GOP A-OK.
Of course, the odds above are from BetOnline, and they’re going to be different from those at the other top-rated Vegas political betting sites we recommend.
Here’s how MAGA is doing on those boards:
Via Bovada Sportsbook:
- Kamala Harris +400
- Joe Biden +450
- Donald Trump Sr. +500
- Ron DeSantis +900
- Nikki Haley +2000
- + More
Via MyBookie Sportsbook:
- Joe Biden +350
- Kamala Harris +400
- Donald Trump +700
- Ron DeSantis +1000
- Nikki Haley +1200
- + More
As usual, the Bovada line makes at least some sense, while MyBookie’s odds are way out of left(ist) field.
Still, if you’re a line shopper, there’s definitely some value to be found comparing odds across all three books.
2021 Joe Biden Presidential Mental Fitness Test Update

Hedge with several, but be smart about it.
Will Joe Biden leave office via impeachment?
- No -1200 (-1200)
- Yes +500 (+500)
If you can afford to have your cash tied up for an indefinite amount of time between now and 2025, take the “No” and bet the maximum.
We suspect this will always be our advice on this particular line.
Joe Biden Approval Rating On October 1, 2021
- Over 45.0% -150 (45.5% -140)
- Under 45.0% +110 (45.5% +100)
My, how those goalposts keep moving!
Amusingly, Basement Joe’s approval ratings joining him downstairs has prompted at least one #FakeNews outlet to pretend that non-election-year polling numbers suddenly no longer matter.
The only thing more pathetic than this Biden “presidency” is the mainstream “coverage” of the doddering old idiot.
