Election Betting Odds
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. |

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. |

So, you feel that even though Hillary has a very difficult time getting anyone to come out to her rallies () 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.... |

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. |

Why 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. |

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. |

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.
