Entering next Thursday’s first Presidential debate of 2024 on CNN, President Joe Biden holds a razor-thin lead over Donald Trump in recent polls. Trump’s 34 guilty counts related to hush money have cost him a few points with non-party-affiliated voters, which many are citing for the recent slip.
At online election betting sites, Biden finds himself behind Trump in the odds of becoming the next President by a significant margin. One thing to keep in mind is that sportsbooks set the odds and allow them to shift as wagers are placed so that money comes in even on both sides.
This protects online sportsbooks from going in too deep on either team or, in this case, candidate. That said, Trump’s lead could be the result of overzealous supporters rather than actual probabilities of success.

WILL THERE BE A HANDSHAKE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE DEBATE?
- Yes +200
- No -300
The first debate is scheduled for a cold start, as this prop implies that the candidates will not shake hands. Donald is favored to be declared the winner by a post-debate poll conducted by CNN.
CNN PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE WINNER
- Donald Trump Sr. -125
- Joe Biden -115
Again, these results could be due to loyal and rabid supporters flooding the boards since CNN is largely a left-leaning news network.
WILL DONALD DISCUSS ACCEPTING CRYPTOCURRENCY FOR CAMPAIGN DONATIONS?
- Yes -260
- No +170
The Trump Campaign is now accepting Bitcoin donations, and he recently hosted several of the most prominent BTC miners in the US at Mar-a-Lago. He also wants all Bitcoin to be mined in the United States.
The above Bitcoin betting odds suggest a certain mention at the debate.
WHO WILL INTERRUPT THE OTHER CANDIDATE FIRST?
- Joe Biden +105
- Donald Trump -145
Only the candidate recognized to speak will have a live mic, but there will still be some room to interrupt by shouting across the stage. The debate will not feature a live audience, so it is possible for either candidate to shout over the muted microphones.
WILL THE DEBATE EXCEED 90 MINUTES?
- Yes -120
- No -120
The debate is scheduled to run for 90 minutes with two commercial breaks. The odds for both outcomes are identical, but we expect the debate to wrap up on time.
