Another reminder that betting markets don't determine elections and are easily manipulated by bad actors (lemmy.ml)

Seems like a good time to take the manipulated odds and go for Harris. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m not a big gambler but every now and again I’ll see a points spread of a football game that seems ridiculous on its face and will put down $25-$100, makes watching a game I wouldn’t otherwise care about fun. But I never bet on a game I actually care about the outcome of, afraid I’ll jinx it and will lose twice. This the only reason why I’m not hammering Harris to win right now

Election bets are risk free if you're willing to rob the bookie on your way out of this shit hole.
