If rightoids truly believe the election is rigged
they should have no qualms about dumping all their life savings into betting on Kamalam's victory and secure the bag

I don't fully understand how betting odds work, is this 60/40 trump prediction accurate or is it just the result of rightoids betting the farm on drumpf?

The latter. They dumped gorillions on drumpf causing his "odds" too skyrocket.
If you compare top Holders it's pretty obvious it's just few accounts driving the price up:
A single drumpf holder sank more money into it than top 8 for Kamala together

It's accurate to the point that if the odds are mispriced, then smart money would buy the Kamala position since that would mean it's currently undervalued. Either people are leaving free money on the table, or there's a 60% chance trump wins.

How does this site work? Some of these bets are even more r-slurred than ours.
Do insider trading rules apply to this? It seems so easy to manipulate if you or someone you know is one of the bets.
Edit: Mark Cuban has a stake in this one. He spoke about it a few days ago
It's all foreigners lmbo. Burgers can't bet on the election on this site.

Since the point of betting markets is gleaning information, isn't insider trading a good thing?
