Been checking the odds on a Trump victory on the Betfair Exchange.
The odds dropped from 27-1 down to 14-1 over the course of the Gettysburg hearing.
Just now someone dropped $100k at 20-1 and $50k at 21-1 (taking the lay side of the bets). Deep state player propping up the odds to reduce panic for their side?
Note that dropping $150k lay at those odds means you need $3m in your account as liability. Which really makes me think its a deep state player propping up the odds.
Baker, please can you add this update to notables. To go alongside this notabled post >>11784574.
The odds snapped back up to 21-1 about 20 mins ago after - what must be a deep state player - added $150k+ lay bets at those odds (would require $3m liability to back that).
Think they wanted to prop up the odds to reduce panic on their side. It would be huge news if odds on a Trump victory collapsed down to below 10-1 after being close to 30-1 - which is where it was headed.
