Those of you who are familiar with me know I am far from a concern troll but this is really starting to get under my skin. The news has been reasonably favorable over the last 36 hours for Trump yet he is crashing and burning on the betting sites. WTF gives?

Markets are not totally rational.

My guess is that someone knows the fix is in.

He’s down 8pts but is still at 58%. Far from crashing

I think that the Democrats, being flush with $ billions in stolen loot, would invest in the betting markets to skewer them to Kamala. They have to do something with the money because the impact of advertising at this point in the race is almost nil.

People are hedging their bets. Plus, the Harris campaign and its surrogates with plenty of cash may be trying to impact the results. The people who are betting have no more knowledge about what’s going to happen than you or I do.

First of all the betting markets are absolute foolish horse manure.

Second, the “crash” is to a more than 10 point lead by Trump.

It’s just people hedging their bets as the election is around the corner.

Wouldn’t surprise me if you’ve got some rich Dems trying to swing the market.

He is not really "crashing and burning"

Hard to know, could even be a billionaire trying to influence the odds. Seems unlikely.

Those who swear that the betting markets have some insider information that isn’t available to the rest of us...let me remind you they had Hillary at 80/20 on election day 2016. That’s why I didn’t bat an eye when Trump was at 40 in the betting markets two weeks ago and also didn’t bat an eye when he was close to 70 last weekend.

Tightening is only natural 4 days out.

The polls have tightened in last couple of days. Rich Baris made me feel better today when he said these are intimidation tactics by the left to try and discourage us from voting. Some of this probably bled over into polymarket. Like I said, I was getting a little panicky until I tuned into Rich.

Harris’ betting market-implied odds of victory stood at 42.4% Friday afternoon, hitting the highest level since last Thursday, with Trump inversely at an eight-day low of 57.2%, according to the site Election Betting Odds, which tracks odds movements across five platforms which allow users to wager on the election outcome.

“Crashing”. LOL!

Harris trying to scare off GOP doomworshipers from Election Day voting. Has $ to burn and nothing else she’s tried with it works.

Maybe someone throwing in millions of dollars into the market could have an effect. Once they do that, it becomes totally useless.

My suggestion is to quit watching the main stream news.

My question is what the heck is polymarket and why should I care? Gambling is obnoxious and counts on an individuals hopes and dreams, it’s a ridiculous past time with nothing meaningful to offer.

The libs can keep their psyops
