    Betting shops give Trump a lead over Harris in presidential odds

    Bettors have extended former President Donald Trump's lead over Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential betting odds as the race approaches its final week.

    The increase comes a week after The Wall Street Journal reported that large bets were made at cryptocurrency-based betting operator Polymarket that dramatically changed Trump odds and raised questions about their accuracy.

    Trump's biggest lead in the action, which US bookmakers cannot participate in, is with offshore bookmaker BetOnline, where the former president is -200 to the vice president's +170.

    Polls have decided the race, with an ABC News/Ipsos poll released Sunday showing Harris with a 4% lead among likely voters and a CBS News poll showing a tie in battleground states.

    How accurate were the voting rates in past presidential elections?

    According to Conversation, a nonprofit news organization, the betting favorite has lost just twice since 1866.

    Hillary Clinton's odds were -323, but Clinton lost the election in one of the two cases where the underdog won on election night.

    The other surprise came in 1948 when Harry Truman (D) beat his odds of defeating Thomas Dewey (R) by eight to one.
