Gamblers are no better at predictions than anyone else, quite possibly
worse. That money is involved means nothing. Las Vegas is full of people
with money - from which they are quickly parted.

The last people I would take seriously on predicting the outcome of the election
are gamblers. Their predictions on past elections were no better than
anyone else's. Worse in fact.
