The betting odds are a much better indicator of the national mood than any "opinion poll." Right now, the spin is on full steam ahead trying to give Kamala a boost, and speculators are overreacting and moving their money around. It will settle back down in Trump's favor in another few days after people have had enough time to digest and recognize that just because this wasn't another Biden debate, that doesn't mean he lost.
People seem to be forgetting something: if the odds are actually even, you bet on Kamala as a hedge:
Trump wins: All your other investments go up, you win if you bet or not.
Kamala wins: US economy tanks, any gambling winnings work in opposition to your other losses.
So she should always have a bit of an artificial boost in the betting odds.
