instead of believing polls, wouldn’t gambling odds be incredible way to figure out what the people want?

500 Anti-trumo memes a day shared on facebook and 1000 tweets, but 3rd grade indoctrinator Mrs. Cortez, wouldnt dare bet $500 of her money on Biden winning.

What are the odds that Biden is still on the ticket by Nov. 4? To me that’s the only relevant thing to bet on.

I trust the gambler more than the polls. The gamblers are objective. When they bet on a college football game they don’t care who wins the game just as long as the team that they bet on covers the point spread. Gamblers are not emotional. They are rational. Losers let the emotions decide.

Bookies and gamblers have no idea about elections.

currently gives Biden a 56% chance of winning the presidency

That's a problem, especially given Hillary was given 95% odds of winning.

I’ve seen sites that merely “post odds” favoring Biden, but a site I looked at that was actually taking bets had Trump with slightly better odds.

I don’t know if this site takes bets, but this was typical of the odds I saw:

-120 is better than -110.

Wasn’t Hillary at a 80% chance at this point in 2016?

I’m just some dumb rube, but I don’t know of anyone who voted Trump in 2016 who is not voting for him again. However, I know of one usually democrat voter who is talking about voting for him.

This hurricane is another opportunity for him to shine. He’s one heck of a project manager, and the opposition can only carp and complain.

Or burn things.

Bookies change the odds to keep the books even. Giving odds on Biden means they have too much money out on Trump. It’s simple math and has zero to do with popularity.
