If you know for sure that hysterical yelling in this forum and (perhaps) elsewhere will save our democracy, by all means go for it. And please do some for me too, I am all for democracy myself. Meanwhile, I will spare my throat and rather go for a walk to take in some fresh air, watch the beautiful foliage and otherwise enjoy the last idyllic days of said democracy.
And speaking of gambling... You are right this time, the house always wins. Furthermore, the betting odds don't always pick the winner. Apparently they failed to do so in 2016 when they predicted Hillary's victory. Curiously enough though those wretched losers somehow managed to correctly determine the winners of the other 10 of 11 last presidential elections since 1980. Or so says Newsweek. Go figure.
It's worth noting that the Newsweek article is dated last week and so their "neck and neck" in betting odds is decidedly a thing of the past. As of now (Oct 16th) RCP Average shows 58--41 in favour of Trump. Not yet a total blowout, so don't despair. Things may change -- in either direction.
Betting odds can influence people's expectations about the result of the 2024 election, but how accurate have they been in the past?
