Betting had no influence on the outcome on the US presidents election at all. Thr main question who will win it but that is a different discussion. I would never vote for Trump but is Biden a good alternative? The guy is 84 years old and didn’t really make a lot of impact this last 3 years…
We can't bring the conspiracy theory here that is happening mostly on sports. Maybe sports could be rig, but this election? Not gonna happen as it's the nations future is at stake here, rigging for someone just to make a lot of money in risk of making a country struggle, doesn't make sense at all. We never know who would really win, just like when Trump as a huge underdog, people got surprise that he won, but that's official. now, as to choosing the president, it's entirely our personal choice and just like our interpretation on the bible, we have different.
Regarding conspiracy theories and indications of fraud in elections, I think that will always happen. The reason is that those who cheat are people who want their own profit, they don't care about the future of other people or even the country because their target is personal gain.
I myself have seen a lot of fraud in "politics", although it cannot really be proven because it is very difficult, especialy if you don't have enough evidence to commit the fraud.
The "elites" will definitely move to win one of the candidates, because they have an interest in it, for example when that candidate wins it will be easier for them to have access to certain matters. So my point here is that cheating in gambling practices, be it sports gambling or politics, has quite open space.
Sorry but I have to disagree with you, on the grounds that you said gambling and politics have quite an open space for cheating, this is completely disagree with, and I will tell you why, one fact I know in gambling is that every gambler, or let me say that most gamblers will cheat if there was truly that open space as you said, but unfortunately, there is absolutely none, it's totally wrong to compare the level of fraud in politics to gambling, those who understand politics well know that no politician can be trusted, not even that one that seems to be loved by everyone, he or she still can not be trusted because, right from the beginning, the foundation of politics is built on lies and deceit, politics is a complete game of who got the balls to lie the most, steal the most, commit the highest fraud, do the highest wickedness, without getting caught.
In gambling, this case is completely different, why, because casinos have built their system well strong enough to discouraged gamblers from cheating, or trying to cheat the system even if it's in man's nature to try to cheat when the have the means, that means, is what lacks in gambling, casinos have not made any means available for people to cheat, but such means, is always available in politics, and this is what differentiates politics from gambling.
