Show HN: Browser addon displays oddschecker US presidential odds as percentage

1 points by nomilk a month ago

This is what it sounds like, a tiny browser extension to display odds as percentages.

Background:

Oddschecker normally displays odds in 'odds' format, for example Trump is 11/17 (pronounced "eleven for seventeen" or "eleven to seventeen" - depending on where in the world you are). To a non-gambler, that doesn't mean much. But 60.7% is much more meaningful.

Helps to use betting markets to infer real-world probabilities. Not perfect, but somewhat informative.

Also available as a Tamper Monkey script: https://github.com/stevecondylios/odds-to-percentage-convert...

Add the script and visit any oddschecker politics page, for example: https://www.oddschecker.com/politics/us-politics
