Odds Favor Bernie Sanders To Win 12 Of 14 Super Tuesday Primary States
Following last night’s uneventful South Carolina Democratic debate, there has been little to no change across the board in regards to the 2020 election odds.
After winning the most votes in three consecutive early primary states, Bernie Sanders is the clear favorite to win the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
The Vermont senator currently has -110 odds ($1.10 bet wins $1) at BetOnline sportsbook, giving him a 52.38% implied probability of becoming the eventual Democratic Party nominee.
According to the South Carolina primary betting odds, Joe Biden remains favored to slow Sanders’ momentum and win the fourth early primary state taking place Sat., Feb. 29.
Biden is currently listed at -225 odds ($2.25 bet wins $1), giving the former Vice President a 69.23% chance of winning the most votes in the Palmetto State.
Regardless of who wins South Carolina this weekend, each candidate will have no time to rest on their laurels because one-third of the total delegates for the Democratic nomination is up for grabs next Tuesday.
The Super Tuesday Democratic primary will be held on Tues., Mar. 3, and features primary elections in 15 U.S. jurisdictions, including 14 states—Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia—and the American Samoa caucuses. Also, the Democrats Abroad primary begins on Mar. 3 and ends on Mar. 10.
A total of 1,344 delegates could be awarded, and the current Super Tuesday betting odds favor Bernie Sanders winning 12 of the 14 states as well as both the American Samoa caucuses and the Democrats Abroad primary.

Sanders’ betting odds for Super Tuesday favor him winning 12 of the 14 state primary elections. However, 538 projects him to win 13 of the 14 states as well as the contest held by American Samoa and Democrats abroad.
Biden’s odds indicate he’s the betting favorite to win two states—Alabama and Arkansas—but 538 predicts the former VP will only win Alabama on Super Tuesday.
Interestingly, it appears neither BetOnline nor 538 predicts Mike Bloomberg will win any Super Tuesday states. Bloomberg’s odds are currently not favored in any primary despite spending over half a billion dollars on targetted campaign advertisements as of Feb. 24.
