Betting market odds are influenced by the number of people placing bets on a particular outcome. The more people bet on someone to win, the lower that person's odds become. Its well known that sports betters tend to lean right politically. I don't know many left-wing, artsy individuals betting on sports or the ponies. We can see this bias because Michelle Obama was listed at 4-1 odds to win the election, despite no credible information suggesting she was even a candidate. The only source promoting the idea of her running came from right-wing conspiracy circles. She was 4th favorite because right wingers started betting on her because of their misinformation echo chamber. This misinformed, emotionally driven betting strategy also explains why Trump's odds are so favorable.
Political betting markets tend to skew to the right because, while not all right-wingers, many base their decisions on emotion rather than facts. And, as we all know, right-wingers often live in an echo chamber, disconnected from accurate information, especially when it comes to politics
