    Presidential odds curious, have you seen this?

    I understand the 3-way: Democrat, Republican, other party

    But my site has Odds to win: Trump at +350

    Then, Clinton at -500. Field (any other candidate): +400.

    Why would you ever take Trump as opposed to the "field"?

    These things happen all the time. Right now Justbet has the following odds:

    WILL HILLARY CLINTON BE THE NEXT US PRESIDENT? YES 1.17

    WILL DONALD TRUMP BE THE NEXT US PRESIDENT? NO 1.18

    So if you want to bet on Hillary to win, you should bet on Trump to lose to get the best odds.

    What are the general rules for President, by the way. I couldn't get a definitive answer as to how these books would grade it, even though I called and talked to them. Consensus winner on Wednesday? Inauguration?

    Limits perhaps. To get down as much as possible on Trump/other candidate.
