FAQ
Are betting odds a forecast?
No. They are market prices. ElectaMeter reports them as one signal beside polls and seat models.
Why do odds and polls disagree?
Markets price different questions (often seats or government), while polls measure vote intention. See our guide on polls vs markets.
How often do odds update?
ElectaMeter scrapes betting data regularly; the live odds page shows the latest successful scrape time.
