Biden tanking

Post by bmw » Tue Oct 27, 2020 9:17 pm

Bettors have Trump nearly winning this thing now. Biden fell below 60% in PA tonight for the first time, and Arizona is now close to a coin flip.

Of course, I'm getting richer by the day :)

If this is the case, why was Trump even bothering with Nebraska today?

There's 1 Congressional District that's a toss-up there. 1 electoral vote. And in a Pennsylvania-win scenario while losing the rest of the rust belt, that 1 electoral vote could be very important.

So under 60% is worse than over 40%? I was always lousy at math.

All about momentum, my friend. Even a team in the lead in a football game can quickly become the underdog if the momentum shifts.

He’s there because he’s absolutely desperate. Biden isn’t tanking... Trumps entire campaign is collapsing. Look at the places he’s gone dark including Ohio and Florida praying that he’ll win them. That’s not a sign of strength...

I think the bettors are stuck with some 2016 syndrome and don’t want to get caught betting on the more obvious horse if it’s wrong. But the fundamentals are different, the lead is more stable and movement closer doesn’t make a hell of a lot of sense right now. The only outward indicators here are hedging bets.

Folks like bmw underestimate the Democratic and Independent anger at the Republican Party at their own peril. He ignores how incredibly precarious Trumps electoral position really is at the peril of his wallet.

Assume nothing. We need poll watchers in every area but especially cities. Tell your friends to vote. I am going to be making several calls Thursday.

I assume nothing and nobody is being complacent. We remember 4 years ago. I know people who didn’t bother to vote before who will this time. This isn’t 2016 at all and any attempts to compare the two or use one to predict the other as some bettors appear to be doing is foolish.

Trump ain't winning Texas. Even TCT says that is a pipe dream. It'll be kind of close, probably Trump by 5. But no way in hell that state is going blue.

If it’s within 3 Trump loses overall. Biden should have no business even being discussed as competitive there... but he is competitive anyway. I think rather than a Trump undercount what’s happening is a Biden undercount.

I’d say Biden has a 3% chance at it.

Bettors are putting actual money on where they think this thing is going, and they are not reacting to silly polls. The fact that you keep suggesting that bets are based on polls is mindblowingly stupid.
Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.
