Gamblers Stake $150M on Election, Bet the Farm on Biden

(Washington Examiner) The world’s gambling community is getting in line behind American polls and betting the farm on Joe Biden to win the presidency.

In European markets alone, over $150 million has been staked, and the bets are going more than 2-to-1 for Biden.
