Just as the typical gambler in Vegas loses at the roulette wheel I think the average bettor loses on political bets. I'm more inclined to look at the polling firms with the most accurate records and add 1 to 2 points to DJT’s numbers because he's always underestimated in polls.

What is surprising is that PredictIt.com, which has always skewed heavily to Kamala, suddenly switched to Trump 2 days ago, 54 to 49.

It’s due to the bid-ask spread. It’s not uncommon for those binary “futures” markets for that to happen.
