Kamala Harris has a nearly 40% chance of beating Trump, bookies say
The article’s thesis:
The race is now wide open and the bookies and gamblers are just guessing — like everybody else.
Wow, what a terrible headline. Wtf man
I don't care what celebrities have to say about politics, why the fuck would I listen to a mother fucking bookie!?
Well, they have money on the line.
Do they?
Or are they just Republicans who are losing money on purpose to make it appear that the odds favor Trump?
We're talking about Tech-bros and Cryptocoin-bros here. (Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, DJT SPAC bullshittery, etc. etc.). These are people who are 100% willing to (spend other people's money) to pump up fake metrics.
These are literally the same people who are willing to lose money on meme-stocks for the lulz. They don't actually care about making money.
why the fuck would I listen to a mother fucking bookie!?
It depends. If they're just spouting off numbers for the sake of spouting off numbers, then their opinion is no more or less important than any other random citizen.
But if they're actually backing up those numbers with money, then they've got at least some data to back them up unless they really, really hate money.
I'm not saying I'd take their word as gospel, but if they're willing to put money on the line, I'm going to at least consider their opinion something worth looking into.
Sounds like this is just a look at what bets have been made.
There might be a correlation between fascists and gamblers...
Or idiots and gamblers.
So… if I bet on Harris, I can earn some money and win too?
Nearly! Wow.
