Biden and Political Betting Odds at SBG Global

November 24th, 2021 Presidential Political Betting

Political betting odds show that Senator Joe Biden was not the most popular choice as Barack Obama’s running mate. Obama has been favored in online political betting odds to win the U.S. Presidential election in November but those political betting odds have been shifting towards John McCain and the selection of Biden did nothing to change that. Political betting odds go up and down with the news of the day and the selection of Joe did not help Obama among the voters.

Joeis thought of as a Democratic insider and he is not appealing to many voters outside of the Washington beltway. He has the experience that Obama lacks but that contrast only brings out the concern some voters have with Obama. Online political betting experts believe that Joe was chosen by Obama because of his experience in foreign policy and his Washington experience.

The problem in political betting circles is that Biden does nothing to enhance Obama’s chances in November against McCain. Another interesting part of the selection of Biden in terms of political betting odds is the friendship he has with McCain. Many online political betting pundits believe that it will not be easy for Joe to attack McCain and be negative since McCain is thought of as a friend.

These political betting pundits also wonder how Obama can portray Biden as wanting change when he has been a Washington insider for decades. Recent online political betting odds have seen Obama losing ground to McCain in advance of the November election. The selection of Joe did nothing to change the slippage in political betting odds.

Perhaps the Democratic Convention can give Obama a bounce in political betting but with the Clinton’s stealing the spotlight that might not happen. Political betting odds on Obama vs. McCain are interesting to consider as the election approaches.

The vice presidential running mates can sometimes have an impact on those political odds but in the case of Joe Biden the impact on the political odds were not as positive as they could have been.
