US Senate Betting: Republicans set for 50+ seats, bookies predict 71% probability

I've spent over 20 years inside the betting industry. I'll guide you to avoid the hype, ignore the noise, and steer clear of the common pitfalls that catch out everyday punters.

  • 71% Chance Republicans will win more than 50 seats in the Senate Election in November according to betting sites.
  • Bookies go just 2/1 on Democratic control of the Senate following midterm elections
  • How Much Noise will Donald Trump be making between now and then?

Betting on the number of seats the Republicans will gain in the 2022 Senate Elections is underway on betting sites, and the betting odds would suggest over 50 seats is relatively assured with a 71% probability represented by odds of just 2/5.

There is plenty of time for things to change, however, as the Senate Elections do not take place until November 8th, 2022, following the latest election on November 3rd, 2020.

Right now the current breakdown is  Democratic [48] and Independant [2] seats with the republicans holding 50. It will be interesting how much noise Donald Trump makes throughout the year and what his political intentions might be.
