Election season is in full swing, and betters are gearing up to make some serious money. The latest development is the first-ever political show, where experts Doug, Fez, and Kyle dive into the world of political betting. The premise is simple: it's not about who they're voting for, but about finding betting value.

Fez, a self-proclaimed mercenary, is all about making money, not winning an argument. He's not swayed by personal beliefs or emotions and is only interested in the numbers. Kyle, on the other hand, thinks that parlaying is a bad idea, especially when it comes to election betting. He believes that the numbers are already stacked in favor of the Democrats and that it's better to lay the big price to take advantage of the implied probability.

The conversation turns to the US presidential election, with Kamala Harris as the slight favorite at -120 and Donald Trump at -200. The experts agree that some states, like Maine, are essentially a cash grab, but Kyle believes that the probability is already baked into the number. He thinks that betting on the Democrats to win Maine at -700 is a good idea, citing the high likelihood of the party's victory.

The conversation shifts to the importance of keeping a level head and not letting personal bias influence betting decisions. Kyle emphasizes that most people are willing to throw their money away by betting on a side that they're rooting for, rather than making a logical decision based on the numbers. The key to success is to keep emotions out of it and focus on finding value.

The experts agree that the key to finding betting value in the presidential election is to look at demographics and states that have changed over time. By doing so, you can find opportunities to make smart bets that take advantage of the numbers. As the election gets closer, the stakes are higher, and the experts will return in two weeks and on the day before the election to offer more insights and betting advice.
