Betting data shows Harris's chances are on the up but Trump is still leading - eviltoast
With Joe Biden exiting the 2024 US presidential race, betting data shows that vice president Kamala Harris is gaining momentum. But despite improving odds, Donald Trump remains in the lead.

Reminder that you guys should go out and vote. Trump has been ahead since September 2023. Don’t let the echo chamber make you feel like it’s a done deal. That’s what I thought until I saw this article.

    Betting markets also work based on available information.

    Harris hasn’t really started campaigning but the betting markets are getting money down for her and as such adjust the odds.

    I also want to point out that these articles also act as an advertisement for the betting markets.

    I don’t expect anyone to stop posting about them but this is one way they gain business - getting stories published during notable events to bring in the suckers.
