Some REALLY Good News! Betting markets have Biden winning the GE

[Thekaspervote]

I’ve been following the betting market predictit.org for some time now.

Sanders never lead trump in forecast betting for the GE, in fact he always trailed trump by anywhere from 12-18 cents

Biden has been gaining since ST and passed trump in the last 48 hrs
Current bets on who will win the presidency, Biden 49 cents, trump 45 cents
Current bets on which party wins the WH: Dems 56 cents, gop 46 cents

Betting markets do look at trends, but are very accurate. As I often said to a couple of friends that really really liked to gamble- that casino was not built on your winnings!

1. Fingers crossed. But, you know they had Hillary winning, too

2. My worry though is that their figures don't take into consideration

the Russian, Nigerian, and Ghana's meddling.

3. 'Betting markets' are worth about the same as a pail of warm spit, imo!!!

6. You certainly are entitled to your opinion!

I could post a half a dozen articles showing why betting markets are much more accurate.

But, even more than that, I am TRYING to give a positive spin on the Dems chances. Do you really have to spin it so negatively? Really?

Thanks....no thanks.

7. I have no need to spin it at all,

but enjoy your 'hobby.'

8. Rude!

9. 'Enjoy your hobby' is RUDE???

10. Yes, assumes no intellectual ability to extrapolate or digest hard facts

Please just stop!

I’m trying to shed some positive light on a very difficult GE coming up.

Again you had your say.

This is why I and others go away from DU ....it just gets so it isn’t worth it

4. Hope they're right!

TY, Kasper!

5. With complete shitshow in the stock market and economy

people are looking for new leadership. Biden offers battle hardened experienced and actually listens to advice from qualified experts.

I'll take a few gaffes if we can have stable sane leadership again.
