That's one heck of a bad weekend . . . for an extraordinarily bad candidate
Betting markets are not scientific like polls, I guess, but they have things going for them that polls don’t. If a pollster calls you and wants to know what you think about something, it was the pollster - not you - who initiated the conversation and really wanted to know. You just decided to go along and respond. And you’ve really got no skin in the game, so you might tell the truth - you probably will - but the truth is you can say whatever you want and it will make no difference to you either way.
People who actually bet on things like the outcome of presidential elections are making a willful decision to do so, and they’re putting their own money on the line. So they might still be wrong - maybe they believe the media too much, or too little (how that’s possible I’m not sure), or they don’t really read the movement in the polls correctly. But one thing you know is that they’re invested in what they think.
They’re still betting on the wrong horse. The Hillary horse is sick as a dog and won’t make it to the starting gate.
Horses are in the gates, no more scratches.
Weren’t they really off in the primaries? I recall everyone touting these markets as people willing to put their money up but it’s still just a bunch of people gambling on an upcoming election. Not sure they have any special insight.
Also, there was BREXIT.
Well this horse will be too sick to answer the bell.
Obviously they haven’t been listening to Larry Sabato or they would know that the health issue will soon go away and be forgotten.
I’m reading about Jezebel and Ahab in the Bible who remind me of Hill and Bill. Both Jezebel and Ahab were corrupt, murderers, and both met miserable ends. I don’t wish ill upon Hill or Bill but I want them both OUT of public office FOREVER.
Power through the falls!
I put $50 from my NFL winnings late last year on Trump to be the Republican nominee at 6-1, they wouldn’t allow it to rollover for President and I’m pissed!...lol
So the odds dropped like Killary?
