Political Betting–More 2016 Presidential Election Proposition Wagers

Election Day is tomorrow but we’ve got a few more proposition bets to add to our list. We posted an update on the ‘To Win Presidency’ odds not long ago.

We’ll weigh in on the election on Tuesday if circumstances warrant and otherwise we’ll be back on Wednesday to ‘grade’ all of our outstanding bets.
