Polybet is backed by Peter Thiel’s VC firm. Thiel is the former CEO of Paypal, billionaire, JD Vance financier, and blood-boy aficionado. The skewing is coming from inside the house. It will (probably) be used as “evidence” to drive the fraud allegations if the wrong side wins.
But on to the whole gambling odds thing: Odds given by gambling sites or bookmakers in general, are not just based on the likelihood of the results, but also the bets placed.
They are a useful indicator as to who gamblers think will win, but that’s all. It's wishful thinking at it's most distinct example.

It's much like the stock market. It's efficient for participants to bet rationally.
If you know better then go make a fortune in the markets!

Might want to find some more friends. Charlie is in a panic and trying to round up more incels.

I guess we'll see the results soon enough

Sure maybe, are you suggesting the polls attempt to suppress/ discourage Dem votes by showing Trump is likely to win?

That's a pretty big leap regarding my suggesting anything. I'm just showing polls say lots of things, and often don't mean jack shit. Personally, I think Harris is going to win. Clearly you don't think so. We'll all find out soon enough.
I encourage everyone to vote. We get the government we deserve. If folks can't be bothered outvote poor misguided MAGAs that have been consumed by a conman, then that's what we should get.

Ah, so you may be the guy to enlighten us benighted peasants. Could you elucidate the con?
The con I see is our politicians and the rich getting richer, and common people poorer, with less rights, less free speech and us just electing these conmen each election cycle.
But maybe you hold a more rational and convincing perspective?

No "maybe" about it. I'm certain that I do.
But it's not my job to teach gown ass people to think for themselves, it's just my job to go do my civic duty and try to out vote them. If you're looking for someone to educate you, you'll have to find someone that gives a fuck what you think. I don't.
