However, according to this month's Scientific American, political betting futures are more accurate than opinion polls.
ReplyDeleteThree weeks ago, political betting was showing Ken 2/1 on and Boris 2/1 against. They tend to exagerate and wildly fluctuate and anyhow follow polls but with a time lag. If we have another poll showing Livingstone moving further ahead - see where the betting moves then.
ReplyDeleteThe trouble overall with political betting sites is that they entrench positions and trivialise elections.
I think arguments of this sort were made against the people who did the original study, as reported in the magazine. To some extent they do address them. It's an interesting article.
