<p>Prediction sites like Polymarket and Kalshi work differently from traditional polls. Instead of asking people who they plan to vote for, these sites let people place bets on who they think will win. These odds then reflect the bets and the overall feeling of people using the site.</p>
<p>Since January, Polymarket has seen over $3 billion in bets on the presidential election. Typically, Trump has been the favorite among younger, male users who are interested in cryptocurrency.</p>
<p>Last month, one bettor on Polymarket recently placed a massive <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/10/24/french-trader-bets-45m-on-trump-to-win-2024-election/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$45 million bet on Trump</a>.&nbsp;Although Harris has taken the lead on some prediction platforms, Trump still has a slight edge on Polymarket, with a lead of 15.7 cents as of Saturday morning. He had been increasing his lead since early October, but recent events have caused that margin to close.&nbsp;</p>
<p>On the platform, Trump currently has the support of $1,225,567,333 worth of bets, while Harris stands at $776,568,898.</p>
