Michigan seems like a good value.

Half-Whitmer has poisoned the well for Biden. And she is a campaign chair for him IIRC.

Arizona: D -120 R -120

Whuh? Maybe I don't bet enough, but seems like some bookies are cooking this particular book.

Both sides favored to win?

That's how books make money.

Its also why spread totals on most sports matchups are -110 to bet.

Person A pays bookie 110 to win 100 on LSU -7
Person B pays bookie 110 to win 100 on Alabama +7
-----
LSU wins by 10.

Person A receives 210 from the bookie
Bookie profits $10

I can read spreads and the states that will decide the election are HEAVY democrat favorites according to those lines.

Trump was -120 earlier in the week. All this said, Hillary was a comfortable favorite even on Election Day.

If these odds turn out to be votes, then we will have a new president next January.

On what planet is that heavy in biden’s Favor?

If LSU had a 53% chance to win a game, would you consider that a heavy favorite?

Registration percentages.

Democrat 28%

Republican 26%

Guess what the rest are?

You better win the Independent vote. Right now ....in every major Democrat controlled city, they are hunkered down at night watching this play out and listening to their neighborhoods washed in sirens and flames .....

The population favors Military Boots on the ground by a score of 2 to 1

Bet there isn't a book that has that on a betting line.

Trump needs 2 of 4 of these to win
PA, MI, and WI were clearly 3 of the most important states in the 2020 election since they were all surprises in the last election (had previously gone D), all had extremely slim margins (difference was less than 3rd party candidate votes), likely correlated with one another (given demographic, geographic, and economic similarities), had enough EC votes to flip the election either way, and were inexcusably ignored by the Clinton campaign.

So given that Biden is viewed much more favorably (and is from PA) than Hillary by one of the major (traditionally D-leaning) groups in these states (unions; manufacturing) that Trump did better with than recent GOP candidates, with 3rd party candidates being less impactful (especially since Amash dropped out), and the Biden campaign being less likely to make the same inexcusable mistakes as the Clinton campaign, it makes sense that he would be favored a bit in these states (about 56% probability on average across 3).

That said, while Arizona appeared to be trending more blue due to demographic shifts (more hispanics/latinos, and they're getting older; plus retirees from blue states) and McSally doing so poorly in the Senate race, I am a bit surpised that 5Dimes as it as even odds and predictit even gives the Ds a higher probability (about 57%).

The polling data does have Biden at a bit of an advantage (+2.5), but given how limited it is (4 since mid-March), how crazy 2020 has been, and how quickly it changes (impeachment trial, pandemic, protests/riots nationally in just 5 or so months), polling data is probably a lot more variable than usual. Regardless, I'm just surprised that the betting markets are so bearish on Trump in AZ but not considerably more bearish than overall, despite winning AZ by 3.5 in 2016 while losing the overall popular vote by 2.1, outperforming by 5.6 points in AZ. So I would think that if he loses AZ, then he's likely losing MI, PA, and WI and a couple of the other closer states may flip.
