After casting your votes today in the 2020 election, you can head to FanDuel to bet the ballot, choosing which aspects of the election will be won by Democrats or Republicans.

The free-play contest will award $50,000 in total prizes, with the winner getting $5,000.

Predict 2020 Election Results Using Play Chips and Taking Odds

Unlike similar contests, like DraftKings’ challenge for the Fourth of July hot dog-eating competition, FanDuel tasks players with wagering 1,000 in free-play chips on at least five of 17 questions about the election rather than just choosing winners or losers. The format adds a challenging layer: do you load up 200 chips each on five questions, or spread them out across all of the questions?

On top of that, the wagers will pay at true odds, so you can bet 200 chips on Joe Biden to win the presidency at -175, which will pay out just 114.29, or risk the same 200 on Donald Trump to win re-election, which would net 276 at +138 odds.

The participants who most astutely pick the results and end up with the most free-play chips will top the leaderboard and claim the free cash.
