Will Donald Trump Win?
- freshyill 10y agoSo what's going on here? Something interesting or just copying and pasting poll results from somewhere?
- DrSayre 10y agoIt's taking the odds from several sports books and converting the odds to what the probability is. http://www.oddschecker.com/politics/us-politics/us-presidential-election-2016/winner http://www.oddschecker.com/politics/us-politics/us-president...
- DrSayre 10y agoAny questions you have will be really useful for me to create an "about" page that explains what it's doing. The main purpose of this site is to give people an easy way of seeing who is actually expected to win the election. The site uses betting markets as it's source because that's a better indication of who is actually winning. Even though some polls show Trump has tied or even ahead of Clinton, Clinton is still a favorite over Trump.

- DrSayre 10y agoI just picked it up. Started with Trump because I figured people would be googling some form of "Is Donald Trump really going to become president?"
- brudgers 10y agoThough interesting, because there is nothing for people to try out or play with, the site doesn't really meet the spirit of "Show HN" guidelines. Guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html
- DrSayre 10y agoWhoops, sorry, will remember this for future Show HN posts
