The book makers and the financial markets had priced Trump a 5.50 to 1 chance at the time I was first considering this opportunity, which represented a less than 20% chance of Trump winning. Book makers price odds based on statistics and money flow, so when the polls continued to show Clinton with an 80% edge and the larger size bets continuing to flow in on Clinton, they had no real choice but to keep Trump at long odds, even though many insiders started to see the money flow patterns signalling an upset. With the polls showing Trump as only a 20% chance of winning, and bookmakers and market makers pricing Trump a 20% chance or 5 to 1 odds, for the typical retail trader or punter, you could not be blamed for thinking he didn’t stand a chance.
