According to bookmaker Betfair, the former vice president is "strong odds-on favorite" in the first head-to-head contest of the election.

Biden is out in front with odds of 4/9 to win the debate against Trump, who is 13/8, the betting firm said.

"Biden appears to be ahead in several of the key swing-states that are crucial to ensuring victory in the race for the White House. States like Ohio, Arizona, and Michigan, where Trump won in 2016, seem to be polling in favor of Biden, exactly 35 days until polling day."

Tuesday's grilling of both candidates will be a major milestone in the campaign, yet the vast majority of Americans say they have already made up their minds on how they will vote, according to recent polls, suggesting the outcome of the debate may have only a limited impact on the final result.

These odds being offered are based on who wins the CNN snap poll after the debate.

No shite Biden would be favored in that.

Maybe a dumb question on my part but how do you determine, for betting purposes, who "wins" a debate?

I mean CNN will slobber about how Biden destroyed Trump, this board will declare Vermont a swing state after Trump's performance, etc.

How do they objectively define who wins an subjective contest?

When they say favorite to win does that mean that he actually finishes without falling or something like that?

Anyone else think he challenges Trump to a pushup contest if he stumbles on his words?

Of course Biden will win....articles are already written. Talking points already distributed among the talking heads.

Has the GOP ever "won a debate"?

The media will claim Biden won even if he pisses himself and manages to commit suicide on stage.

Same thing is said about the election, however we all know Trump will dominate both.

I placed a bet on my death pool that Biden drops dead on stage tonight. No arguing that result so I feel it's a safe thing.

Never doubt the media's obsession with making chicken salad out of chicken shite when it comes to Biden. So long as he doesn't show up drooling, falling over, and words are coming out of his mouth, they'll declare him the winner after 30 seconds.

He'll be declared the winner by the media if his only answers are farts, burps, and talking to himself.

So who determines if Biden is the winner or not? You might think he did great and I did not.. So who makes the call?
