Aren't the majority of people that gamble on horse races, sports events and casino games regularly LOSE?
So then why should anyone put any faith in gamblers who bet on future election results?

The public is very good at making odds.

You just trade back at 1.53 and take the easy profit.
That’s how you make money on the exchange.
Some bot prolly made that bet.

Thanks for the reply but I believe that the public forms their selection/opinion mostly based on readily available public information, such as in horse races and elections.
Do favorites in horse races LOSE 67% of the time, or is that an outdated statistic?

Of course. It prolly is a little lower than that given the small fields.
However in two horses races, it’s well over 50%

i do, but this number is so big because of all the handouts in the quarter.. next quarter will be bad though. they probably didn't give any money away now because it does no good for this election, plus it only weakened the country.
