I found these hilarious betting odds on Cloudbet for the US presidential debate tonight lol.

How many times will Kamala Harris say Weird? (under 1.5 or over which im confused about because what is the .5!!! haha)

Will Trump say Bitcoin during the debate?

Also Who will win the presidential debate tonight?

What are your predictions?

Have you come across any other interesting betting markets for the debate?

The bets you get on the US presidential debates are quite interesting and show that such events are quite unpredictable; examples include: Kamala Harris-How many times will say "weird"? Use .5 to indicate that she will say less than 2 times-under 1.5-or less than 2 times-1.5 times-to deal with the uncertainty of exact numbers. Another bet is that Trump will speak about Bitcoin, symbolic of his changes in views regarding cryptocurrencies. And add an element of surprise. Declaring the debate winner is easy but can be tricky since it all depends on individual judgment and how the debate resonates with the public and the media. Other types of bets may be interesting, such as betting on the topics to discuss. Indicators about the candidate's performance could include anything from memorable speeches to the aftermath following discussion in the research. Analysis of betting sites or other forms of forums Other bizarre, out-of-the-norm bets may be disclosed related to dispute.

Seems like Harris is already starting things off being weird. She’s making them give her a miniature sized podium to stand behind so that she looks as big as Trump to the people watching at home. I think this goes to show how normalized it is for her to perform tricks to try and make herself appear different than she is to voters.

What an a observation, and i think it is fascinating what role staging and presentation can play in shaping these ideas. Evidently, everything is fiddled with to influence voters and I think It's part of a larger strategy to raise awareness. I suppose we'll have to wait and see if those measures make a difference in either debate behavior or betting markets. It's one of those sequels that simply adds an element of suspense to the whole situation. Right yeah?

Weird because of the odds that's being placed for Kamala? Well, that's what the bookies are all about for what they think is weird for us might not be for them.

I don't mind if Trump will mention Bitcoin or not because they're all just words and marketing campaign before the US citizens that are into Bitcoin. It moves emotion to make them believe it is.

Whoever wins the debate will get more votes afterwards if something is interesting about them. But I think what people wants to hear is about prioritizing US citizens and world peace.

As a matter of fact, Kamala Harris' 'strange' claim is just an illustration of how bookstores are looking for unusual things they can publish. Interestingly, it is these little things they usually focus on-the ones that probably might sound strange to the average person-but it is part of a greater betting scheme. If I may add in regards to Trump's comments about Bitcoin, they were more of an attempt to appeal to some voters than to actually affect policy change. The debate's impact on us "voters" attitudes will likely depend on how the candidates tackle key issues such as prioritizing people's needs and world peace. For me these are real concerns that can influence voters and change their decisions.
