The Wall Street Journal recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/finance\/trump-odds-polymarket-election-betting-whale-3d94bed3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> that a French bettor, who identifies as \u201cTheo,\u201d has staked more than $30 million across four separate accounts in favor of a Trump victory.<\/p>\n<p>While Trump supporters dominate the high-dollar betting, Vice President Kamala Harris has also gotten bets. An account named \u201cleier\u201d has invested approximately $5 million on a Harris victory, which would yield nearly $11 million if she wins. Bettors supporting either candidate face an all-or-nothing risk, with a chance to earn substantial returns or lose their entire stake.<\/p>\n<h2>Polymarket Odds In Favor of Trump<\/h2>\n<p>At the time of writing,\u00a0 Polymarket <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/us-presidential-election-2024-results-odds-of-donald-trump-winning-explode-on-polymarket\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">showed<\/a> a 95% probability of a Trump victory, with the platform asserting Trump\u2019s impending success on its X account.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrump is about to give his victory speech.
