According to The Sun newspaper, the former banker placed the bet through bookies in Curacao. It is claimed to be the largest political bet ever made. If the man wins, he will walk home with a whopping $15 million payout.
The USA Today has reported that the US presidential election 2020 is expected to involve more than $1 billion in offshore betting.
Meanwhile, another person in Britain has placed a $1.3 million bet on Joe Biden, according to Betfair Exchange. If Biden wins, the player would bag $2 million.
