I love to gamble too, and there are no sure things, but when I believe the expected value of a bet is positive and there’s a real edge to exploit, I’m going to make a play.
If thethe thinks Trump is even 80% likely to win (which is low estimate given his rhetoric), then fair odds of a Trump bet would be -400. If books are offering -125 (which is roughly a 55% implied chance), then that’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. Not saying thethe or anyone else should stake their net worth on it (feel free to use the Kelly criterion as a starting point), but it’s clearly a smash play.
