SYDNEY: An Australian bookmaker said on Thursday it has paid out A$23 million to people that had bet on Joe Biden becoming the next US president though the official result is still to be determined.
Former vice-president Biden has said he is headed to victory, though President Donald Trump has claimed that he has won and is pursuing lawsuits and a recount.
Still, Sportsbet said it has paid out on more than 100,000 bets laid on a Biden victory.
“We have supreme confidence that Biden will end up in the Oval Office,” a spokesman for the Australian bookmaker said.
