this is just an ad for that gambling site
100% something you see gambling sites do to encourage people to place bets.
I'm getting pretty tired of the notion that gambling odds are better predictors than polls.
It’s just like a poll! Only you’re only polling people rich and emotionally disconnected enough to want to place these types of bets. I’m sure that won’t skew anything, right?
Wait, are we still talking about money skewing the bet, or are we talking about the bet skewing the reality?
i have family stupid enough to follow those things as if they predict the future
It's also good to keep in mind that the gambling site is predicting only a 50% chance of a sweep. That's still coinflip odds.
No, you see it's an ad for that gambling site that was boosted by a twitter influencer who added value by saying "Let's fucking go!!!! 🔥" And, after that, someone screenshotted this influencer's post that boosted the gambling site and posted it here. Then people upvoted it.
Was that influencer paid to promote the gambling site? Probably. Was OP paid? Probably not, just a useful idiot.
It's not even a gambling site.
It's a site for idiots to funnel money to greedy assholes with insider information.
If you only have publicly available information, you're just throwing money away if you regularly use the site.
