Will new revelations that POTUS and HRC founded ISIS have any effect on betting markets? This is a big deal. Some people are saying that ISIS is a very BAD group. If HRC is co-founder of ISIS I would suspect that DT+300 is stealing money.......shame on you if you wake up tomorrow and see it at even money.

The stench of desperation or lunacy. How many feet can he stick into his mouth? We're still counting.
From the way that Trump persists, it's very likely the odds of HRC winning election could jump over -400 not for long.

I'm seeing -400 now. betting odds finally catching up to polling odds. could change. still 89 days out. lots of crap can happen. if it's still going this direction after Labor Day, it's going to be tough for Trump to rebound. if not impossible. all in all, liking my HRC bets at -165 and -220.

right. and the chances for a fluke go down every day. economic meltdown, terrorist intervention, something like that. or trump actually organizing a viable campaign.
ideological voters (and there's plenty of evidence on them here on Covers just like there were four years ago) have kept the trump numbers artificially low. at least up to this point.

Donald Trump's chance to be the next US President has hit the lowest point at 10% in the CNN/Pivit since i have followed it since earlier this year. GOP senate could lose the majority in this campaign, the odds of "Republicans no longer Senate majority" have hit highest point at -265. Pretty alarming for the GOP supporters, it could potential turn ugly in this race.

Agreed.
Van would know better but I believe part of the number comes in the inticement knowing that the money will be tied up for three months (like any future).

I wonder if there is a prop that says they Clinton will get more electoral votes than Obama did in 2008 when Obama completely obliterated the GOP...
I remember putting money down when palin appeared and energized the sad and sorry GOP at that time and the odds started to shift....
Trump could go down as the Biggest Loser Candidiate of all time...
Might be something to bet on for the right price
But I think the idea that Trump is the Worst Candidate Ever may not be far fetched... At least that is how things are shaping up... Plenty of time for him to make that true and prove that... He seems to be doing a good job so far

I believe it was Dems 369.5 +200(approximately). At the time, it seemed very unlikely they could reach that number, but not so far fetched now.
Wow that seemed like an impossible bet a while back and now it seems possible... Probably why it's not up anymore...
Good contribution to the disucssion...
It's interesting how certain posters are able to contribute while others seem to have nothing left other than desperate attempts grasping at anything possible other than participating in the intelligent dialog about the topic

Actually, if you go to his site, he doesn't say that. this article is characterizing what his algorithm are saying. he's been quite cautious about saying that it's over. lots of time left.

hard to do worse than McGovern because there's a definite firewall in places like Wyoming and Alabama these days. Mondale sucked it up pretty bad, too.

From Washington Examiner:
Republican Donald Trump should win the presidency by a slim margin according to a model that has accurately predicted the popular vote since 1988.
Using several standards to make his prediction, Alan Abramowitz’s “Time for Change” model done for the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics “Crystal Ball” shows Trump winning 51.4 percent to 48.6 percent for Hillary Clinton.
He added that the model shows a 66 percent chance of a Trump victory.
“Based on a predicted vote share of 48.6 percent for the incumbent party, these results indicate that Trump should be a clear but not overwhelming favorite to defeat Clinton: There should be about a 66 percent chance of a Republican victory,” Abramowitz added.

the time for change is but one component that the Crystal Ball uses. Despite this information, the UVA site concludes Clinton should win in a landslide with 347 electoral votes. this is what happens when you cherry pick news.
