Go to the site and read the explanation of the origin. These odds are calculated and used by folks who are wagering real money and a significant amount of it. I fear your perspective has more to do with wishful thinking than with reality and math. |

These odds are calculated and used by folks who are wagering real money and a significant amount of it. But the folks who are wagering are not Americans, who are the ones with the best information and who have "skin in the game" that is more than just some spare cash they can afford to risk at the track. On the other hand, foreigners might be less affected by their own emotions and political opinions when predicting the outcome of an American election. https://electionbettingodds.com/about.html I fear your perspective has more to do with wishful thinking than with reality and math. And election wagering, like the stock market, is just an aggregate of opinions. Granted, the people expressing an opinion are putting up some money, so they presumably think a little before doing it; but they are also susceptible to fads, delusions, and manipulations. Not sure what your point(s) is / are. The people calculating these odds are taking tens of millions of dollars in wagers on this and numerous other issues. There is little doubt they are going to parse, ad nauseam, all available, relevant data to maximize their return on investment. In the end, they are attempting to predict the future which is never a sure thing. However, in my humble opinion, they have a far better record of accuracy than any other soothsayers. Even without these odds I am confident Trump is toast. He screwed the pooch with far to many women and as most men know, women have long, long memories. Unfortunately, I suspect Clinton's smack down of Trump will be epic. |

Unfortunately, I suspect Clinton's smack down of Trump will be epic. The main hope Trump has is that people who will vote for him are not saying that when polled. They may feel that in the environment today, to say they will vote for him implies they are some low life or racist. So, they may not be honest with the pollsters. Another hope is that people will vote for him because they are fed up with the leftist media and scoundrels like Gloria Allred running around with women who now claim they were sexually assaulted by Trump. I have no use for Trump, but I also am not dumb enough to believe the crying woman act, that Allred puts on. A woman who met Trump at a tennis match 20 years ago, where she says he hugged her, put his arm around her, and touched her breast, is so devastated by that she's crying at a news conference today? It's crap like that which a lot of people are fed up with. Could enough of them make the difference and elect Trump? I doubt it, but it's possible. |

He has a new TV station launch in the works and if he was president he would have to throw away his biggest asset, marketing the name "Trump". I still would not be shocked if he quit before the election to avoid losing. We would be voting for Pence (using the rules of secession) and that might be why he is there in the first place. |

You must have missed the story, all new Trump hotel properties will not bear his name, instead they will bear the name of "Scion".

I said months ago that Trump was demonstrating bizarre, destructive behavior by likely tarnishing the one thing that makes his empire valuable, the Trump name. I haven't been a Trump fan, lost respect for him a long time ago, but I would have stayed at one of his properties or bought his products, but would never now, that's for sure. |

Even without these odds I am confident Trump is toast. He screwed the pooch with far to many women and as most men know, women have long, long memories. Unfortunately, I suspect Clinton's smack down of Trump will be epic. I am not sure Trump ever wanted to win. He certainly could not do more to throw the election now. He has a new TV station launch in the works and if he was president he would have to throw away his biggest asset, marketing the name "Trump". I still would not be shocked if he quit before the election to avoid losing. We would be voting for Pence (using the rules of secession) and that might be why he is there in the first place. You must have missed the story, all new Trump hotel properties will not bear his name, instead they will bear the name of "Scion". Apparently his hotel census is down significantly since the nation learned what a dick he is. See: Trump Hotels Drop Name for New Hotels http://fortune.com/2016/10/22/trump-hotels-scion-brand/ That may work on new hotels but the existing ones have his name plastered everywhere from the dishes and linens to the marble in the lobby. It would be interesting to see what effect his circus has had on the resale values of condos/apartments with the Trump name on them. If the brand name is having trouble in the hotel markets, the same should be happening there too. You would think alienating so many people, especially college educated, wealthier people and women, while appealing to red necks, can't help sell $2 mil properties. |

You would think alienating so many people, especially college educated, wealthier people and women, while appealing to red necks, can't help sell $2 mil properties. That comes across as a little too elitist for my tastes. Trump supporters might be a little gullible or naive, but the vast majority of them are good Americans, good people who want the best for our country. Unfortunately, Trump is a con man, a stereotypical carpetbagger. Because of his notoriety, brashness and braggadocio, many people in the flyover states, who are not accustomed to dealing with such deceivers, have allowed themselves to get too close to Trump's gravitational pull and have ended up in his orbit. Negative things can also be said about those who support Clinton. However, many of those voting for Clinton will do so because they are deathly afraid of Trump. If the alt-right had not been so artfully deceived by Trump and if we conservatives had nominated any one of a number of other candidates, Mrs. Clinton would barely be at 30% in the polls and our nation would be on the path to unification instead of further division. Mrs. Clinton will be elected POTUS and this is a loss for all of America, not just for Trump and his supporters. The same could be said if Trump were to become POTUS. All the above is simply my humble opinion. |

John T. More likely it's because Trump is a jerk. I've heard similar stories about how he screws people he does business with and that was long before he was running and it became a public issue. |

A better track record is your best argument. The fact that money is involved doesn't really mean that much. The millions wagered represent the sum of many small bets rather than a few large ones placed by savvy investors. The individuals placing those bets didn't necessarily parse ad nauseam. If most people were rational about betting, especially with small amounts, there would be no lotteries. -- Let all the poisons that lurk in the mud hatch out: vote for Clinton. |

Cruz is a thumper but he is also very smart. If he was in a debate with Hillary he would mop up the floor with her. Once he gets away from his Texas base, I bet he would loosen up a bit on his dogma. He would also be capable of presenting Hillary's indiscretions as a prosecutor, using legal points not hyperbole like the orange one. |

John T. The Clinton's are multimillionaires who made their fortune off the government selling government influence at the stake of the taxpayers yet are supported by the have nots and other millionaires. Trump made all his money in the private section yet is not supported by the have nots and millionaires. Trump is obviously advocating more for the common working man. |

See: Trump Hotels Drop Name for New Hotels http://fortune.com/2016/10/22/trump-hotels-scion-brand/ Not unexpected. I said months ago that Trump was demonstrating bizarre, destructive behavior by likely tarnishing the one thing that makes his empire valuable, the Trump name. I haven't been a Trump fan, lost respect for him a long time ago, but I would have stayed at one of his properties or bought his products, but would never now, that's for sure. I'm sure this bothers him |
