Betting on winner, or on popular vote? Because even assuming the betters have the odds right, those are not the same thing.

Betting on winner, or on popular vote? Because even assuming the betters have the odds right, those are not the same thing.
- valval 2y agoTo me the popular vote is irrelevant and in my original post I meant the winner, despite saying the majority which you interpreted to mean “more than 50% of the population of the US”. We have a system in place to counterbalance the fact that large numbers of likeminded people concentrated in one area could otherwise rule over everyone else through tyranny of the majority. To me the majority therefore just means “most of the US”. If you think betters do not have the odds right, you should start betting right now.
- dllthomas 2y agoUsing "majority of people" to mean anything but something over 50% of people is going to lead to miscommunication. I'd advise against it. > If you think betters do not have the odds right, you should start betting right now. Sure, depending on my risk tolerance and existing exposure.
