    It feels very weird that you can gamble on election results.

    Like, casinos have deep pockets, lobbyists, and are in bed with politicians. It feels like it would be easier for them to influence an election than, say, sporting events.

    Not to mention that providing odds for the election results is also something of an endorsement for who they perceive to be a favourable party.
