A bookmaker has priced Donald Trump at 50/1 to win the upcoming election as Joe Biden continues to lead by a double digit gap in the polls.
The offer, which is only available to new punters, launches with less than two weeks until the big day.
The President and his Democratic rival will go head-to-head in the final debate tonight after the planned second debate was cancelled due to Trump’s Covid diagnosis.
After viewers of the last presidential debate bemoaned the moderator’s inability to cut off the candidates’ microphones, each candidate’s mic will be turned off while his opponent gives a two-minute answer to an initial question on each debate topic.
The debate will be moderated by NBC News White House correspondent Kristen Welker. She will be the first black woman to serve as the moderator of a presidential debate since Carole Simpson in 1992.
Despite polling showing that Trump is behind in several key states, social sentiment on Twitter found people in only Alabama, New Mexico and Minnesota were speaking more positively of Biden than Trump, with South Dakota, Washington and Vermont seeing the pair evenly matched.
Overall, 39 per cent of tweets from the beginning of October to today were positive about Donald Trump, with just 28 per cent positive about Democrat, Biden.
Trump appears to be most popular in Mississippi where 45 per cent of tweets about him are deemed positive, while Joe Biden’s safest state is Alabama, where 74 per cent of tweets were positive.
Currently, BetVictor are pricing Joe Biden as 8/15 in line with what the national polls are suggesting, while Trump can be backed at 6/4, which can be boosted to 50/1 for new customers.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
