Trump's Betting Odds Waver as Election Day Unfolds

As the first election results come in, betting markets show a slight decrease in former President Donald Trump's lead over Vice President Kamala Harris, with odds favoring Trump at around 57% to 60% across various platforms. However, poll-based prediction models suggest the race is nearly tied, with some favoring Harris by a narrow margin. The discrepancy between betting odds and polls has sparked debate, with some arguing that betting markets may better predict outcomes due to financial incentives.
