    Election betting markets are notoriously unreliable compared to polls. They’re easy to manipulate and it’s generally younger men who gamble online. Even PredictIt (which limits bets to $850) has tons of stupid money. I know because I won hundreds of dollars on there by not being stupid.

    And by stupid money, I mean extremely stupid. Like even after elections are over, you can often find races where people are buying contracts for the loser because of conspiracy theories or whatever.
