I can't believe we ever get to a stage in gambling when we get the option to bet on what somebody will say or not say, and how many times he or she will say the word, it's unbelievable to be honest, I haven't actually gone to cloudbet to confirm this but if true, then it's absolutely (again) unbelievable.
Human intelligence is really hard to predict and sky is the limit.
There are a lot of things to bet on even just for this presidential debate and every bookie have their own ways of making the stage theirs by having this kind of betting.
Well, it's all fun and games but just a few months left for the actual election.
I don't think there is much about human intelligence going on here, to be honest. It is rather about casinos and bookies being as clever as possible in order for them to make a good profit out the demand for wacky markets like those you have seen in this thread/discussion.
Instead of intelligence, I would rather call it randomness.
And the sky is not the limit, advertisment and techniques to influence over human beings are pretty much well defined and used in the markets. Casinos and bookies know this election is unprecedented and it is likely the one which will receive the most attention in a long time, so they are going to try to get as much wager volume as possible, keep people engaged with wacky and weied bets that serve as an appetizer for the main course coming in November.
