US Election '24 And The Gambling 'Vet'

It is election day in the USA.

As it stands, and it doesn't completely mean much at this stage in the game, Donald Trump is the betting favourite to beat Kamala Harris for the keys to the White House.

I stated that 'it doesn't completely mean much at this stage' in the previous paragraph because - in the last two elections - I've seen the 'underdog', if you can call them that, move into favouritism on the night and then go on to win.

Hillary Clinton was the fave in 2016 and the then President - Donald Trump - was in that position leading into the election of 2020.

Both failed to win.

Just the other night, Kamala Harris' odds moved into favouritism. At that point, I noticed a sports betting radio host proclaim that Harris was a lock to end up winning. The presenter exclaimed that he was a 'vet' of political betting and implied that 'the books know who's going to win'.

The past two elections prove they don't. Not yet, anyway. The self-professed 'vet' would know that.

If he was a veteran at this thing.

As for me? I'm not a veteran at this thing yet I have seen victories come from seeming jaws of defeat. ON. THE. NIGHT.

No sooner.
