  1. John Stossel has a video up about this but it was made a week ago. Last time the bettors were more correct than the polls, we’ll see if the same happens this time.

    1. @Wasabi Warrior the least favourite pays better then the favourite, and if there are only two to bet on, it means if you bet the favourite and it wins you still lose money. trust me i know allot of gamblers and have been around it for 39 years.

    2. @Carson Allaby thats what im trying to tell you, trump isnt the favourite if hes being bet on. he’s the long shot.

    1. Funny how “Landslide for Trump” just gets under their skin. It’s like when you confront a guilty person and they know its true and they start gettin all mad about it.

    2. @Nick Bonney not going to happen. Even if he somehow wins, it’ll be a squeaker like last time. The national polls on the other hand indicate a win for Biden. I guess we’ll see in the next short while.

    1. @jpla1886 the Primary Model, a model which has correctly predicted 25 out of the last 27 elections, gives Trump a 91% chance of victory and estimates that he will win 362 electoral votes.

    2. oh Cute. it can tell the future. tell me oh from the Future one. what are the winning lottery numbers for tommorrows lotto 6/49?

  2. This is a marketing strategy. They are trying to get any possible person to put wagers in.

    No thanks. This type of betting (where the house has guaranteed itself a win by accepting probably millions of dollars but only giving away $100k worth of gifts) is a fool’s game.

    Make friendly wagers with friends and family where that’s legal. Don’t give these giant companies money for nothing.

    1. Trump shut down the entire Global Health Security and Bio-defense agency. Yes, he did. Amid the explosive worldwide outbreak of the virus Trump proposed a 19% cut. Those happen to be the organizations that respond to public health threats.

    1. @squamishfish hall That would be an act of war against the UK Commonwealth and a sovereign nation. Never happen; not even a hint of a whiff of possibility.

    1. Not necessarily.
      Statistics relies on question, weighted averages, sample size, random sampling, etc.

      The only advantage is sample size, here. It isn’t random, weighted, local, or even a fair question. It really does depend.

  3. Gamblers are reckless and always assume they can predict a scenario until its too late. Make sure you voted, everyone.

  4. When you consider that those states that have Joe Biden up by a small percent, are ALL within the margin of error, a Trump win is possible.

    1. I wish I could give you a Fair count….
      that should more fair than the elections have given Trump during this coup election count.

  5. “Betting is illegal in the United States.”

    Proceeds to explain how this is totally gambling with betting.
