Our respect here is for the people who dedicate their lives to making sure the gamblers lose.
If it were so good of an indicator, then why wouldn’t anyone betting on sports check what the “market” says, bet and win big all the time? Most people lose these bets, otherwise it wouldn’t make sense to bet on things to begin with.
I feel like you’re confusing the people who make the bets with the people who make the odds, those are interconnected obviously and react to each other, but it’s two separate parties.
