Some 42 days after Election Day, a major bookmaker has finally begun paying out on Joe Biden winning the 2020 presidential election—leaving Donald Trump supporters disappointed.
The decision follows, the Electoral College members officially casting their ballots, faithfully, on Monday, giving Biden 306 votes to Trump's 232. Candidates needed 270 to win.
As a result, Betfair, which has one of the world's largest online betting exchanges, announced it would start paying out the following day.
"The Next President market rules stipulated that we would settle the market on the candidate that had the most projected Electoral College votes," the company said in a statement released on its website.
"Following the Electoral College votes being cast, that candidate is clearly Joe Biden." It added: "Thanks for your patience."
