The betting odds keep rising for Hillary and falling for Trump.
The odds are now that Clinton has a 69 percent chance of being the next President.
Trump has a 29 percent chance.
These are professional odds makers. Not the old, angry at the world, white geezers in The Villages who have been left in the dust of time just venting their spleens.

Hey, Sucker -
Look at demographics! Look at what demographic groups support Clinton and which ones support Trump. Look at the "battleground states" and tell us how the demographics of those states are the ones who support Trump.
(hint for Sucker) They don't, but tell us your thoughts on each of the battleground states.

Oh, really?
So, you feel that even though Hillary has a very difficult time getting anyone to come out to her rallies (:1rotfl:) and that Trump has tens of thousands come out for his, you REALLY believe she has a chance? How many million bucks has she spend on her campaign compared to Trump and look at her pitiful polls.
You look at the demographics of those that might turn out to vote, not the phone calls that the get their polls from. This is an entirely different election. Totally different.
If I was a betting man, I would easily take your money to teach you a lesson.
Just an after thought, but let me see your odds of her winning in the Villages....ha,ha....:1rotfl:

In The Villages, Clinton would lose.
However, the electoral votes from Florida will be going to Clinton due to the demographics of the large cities like Tampa/Clearwater, Jacksonville, Miami/Dade, and Orlando.
Ohio cities like Cleveland, Dayton, and Akron have the demographics to give their electoral votes to Clinton.
Virginia has the demographics of Northern Virginia to give their electoral votes to Clinton.
...and your view, please.

Electionbettingodds.comWhy this site uses odds from Betfair.com
This site's odds are entirely from the site Betfair.com. After Intrade.com was shut down, Betfair became the only prediction market in the world that has a lot of trading and is efficient. It is based in the U.K., where regulations are less onerous. It does not accept American traders due to regulations. Betfair, however, expresses their odds in a very technical gambling format; hence the need for this site.
How people bet
American regulations are strict, but PredictIt.com has been allowed by the federal government's "Commodity Futures Trading Commission" and is easy to use. However, see the following section for why PredictIt's prices are systematically too high. Non-Americans also have the option of using Betfair.com.

Are these odds makers any better at it than those who do it for horse racing?
Do they come in clors? Some kind of grade like A, B or C?
There has to be some manner of distinguishing one from another, right.
How can all the odds makers be right? They aren't. Some had even projected the losers, at times, to be the winners.
So what desparation, BS scenario is try to be promoted?
Odds making is a business made to part folks with their money.
How about some informaton on the batting average of the quoted odds makers. How often were they right? Wrong? Not even close.
It is so easy to parrot or pass along BS when one does not comprehend the basics.

My view is that the minorities that Hillary is depending on to get her that edge, are not going to turn out for her. They know a liar when they see one and will just stay home. It may be close in Florida but Trump has an equal chance of winning. A bit more campaigning and he will probably have all the battle ground states. More racial rioting may help Hillary because she panders to the radicals. But, the sane minority are not falling for her BS.
I think that by popular vote, Trump will demolish Hillary. By electoral votes, it may be challenging. He is even with her in Florida right now.

Yes, the electoral votes are what counts according to the Constitution. There have been Presidents who won the popular vote but lost due to the electoral votes.

Let the poor guy have his fun with his betting. Some folks never grow up and must have their games. He probably sits home in the dark, playing video games on a large screen TV.

Hillary is now at 72.8 percent chance of winning and Trump down to 25 percent.
Remember, goobers, this is scientific and math and not just geezers in The Villages.

Trump can't even get the backing from one major Newspaper, heck some newspapers that haven't backed a Democrat in over 40 years are backing Hillary

Wow, Trump doesn't have the backing of a newspaper! However, Hillary can't get the backing of the voter. I understand she may have had a large turnout yesterday. A couple hundred.
Trump turned away more supporters at ONE of his rallies than Hillary has gathered in two months total. It takes votes to win the election. And if no one turns out for Hillary on Nov 8th, it won't matter how much money she gets from donors.
Electoral votes do not come without votes. You cannot win a state's electoral votes without the popular vote, regardless of what some think. The popular vote elects the electors of each state. The state electors elect the president. Electors are pledged to cast their votes in accordance with the popular vote. So, they still need our vote in order to elect the president regardless of what some on here seem to indicate. Hillary does NOT have Florida until she gets the popular vote. It is NOT a done deal before the votes are cast.

It has happened 4 times where a President lost the popular vote but won the electoral vote. First was John Quincy Adams and the last was George W. Bush. If you knew history, you would know the facts.
