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

1 pointsby nomilk10 months ago
This is what it sounds like, a tiny browser extension to display odds as percentages.<p>Background:<p>Oddschecker normally displays odds in &#x27;odds&#x27; format, for example Trump is 11&#x2F;17 (pronounced &quot;eleven for seventeen&quot; or &quot;eleven to seventeen&quot; - depending on where in the world you are). To a non-gambler, that doesn&#x27;t mean much. But 60.7% is much more meaningful.<p>Helps to use betting markets to infer real-world probabilities. Not perfect, but somewhat informative.<p>Also available as a Tamper Monkey script: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;stevecondylios&#x2F;odds-to-percentage-converter&#x2F;blob&#x2F;main&#x2F;scripts&#x2F;tm-odds-to-percentage.js">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;stevecondylios&#x2F;odds-to-percentage-convert...</a><p>Add the script and visit any oddschecker politics page, for example: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.oddschecker.com&#x2F;politics&#x2F;us-politics" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.oddschecker.com&#x2F;politics&#x2F;us-politics</a>
