LOL! voluntary money gambling crowd sourced opinions. . .
and in most financially based outcomes, the crowd is usually wrong (not always, but usually). . . its what they want, not what will most likely happen. . .

YMMV

Well as of 12:41 PM, the were only 11 candidates that you could bet a penny (to win $1.00). You would have to click the "more contracts" link to see them. But I suspect from your comment, that you did not understand this market.

Dramatic shift today. Biden and Harris were each around 40c last night. Has the interview been leaked? Insider trading?

I am not sure what this means. More than half of the crowd will be right on almost all of the available bets, right?
