What Do the Numbers Mean?
For those new to 2020 election odds, the numbers can be a little confusing.
Odds Shark’s odds calculator is a great tool to help translate who will win the 2020 election into implied probabilities.
For example,
at -130, Joe Biden’s implied probability to win the 2020 election would be 56.52 percent and
President Trump’s at +110 odds would be 47.62 percent.
Trump had -180 odds, or 64.29 percent implied probability, to win the election during the last week of February.
[No, we are not going to hell in a handbasket if Biden wins. Or if Trump wins, for that matter.]
To go to hell in a handbasket means to go to one’s doom, to deteriorate quickly, to proceed on a course to disaster. The phrase go to hell in a handbasket is an American phrase which came into general use during the American Civil War, though its popularity has spread into other countries.
