If Biden is president then there is a slim chance that Harris could also be. So I'd say that's normal.

Just throwing money away though no?

The rules of the market say:

This market will be settled according to the candidate that has the most projected Electoral College votes won at the 2020 presidential election. Any subsequent events such as a ‘faithless elector’ will have no effect on the settlement of this market. In the event that no Presidential candidate receives a majority of the projected Electoral College votes, this market will be settled on the person chosen as President in accordance with the procedures set out by the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Seems pretty clear that even if Biden wins the election, drops dead before inauguration day and Harris is sworn in as president that the bet still wouldn't pay out.

The 12th amendment would only come into effect if Trump & Biden finished tied in the Electoral College vote so Harris still isn't in the running.
