maybe they're going for induced apathy; if it's close you're motivated, but if it's not at all close maybe that'll just make you depressed.

Or maybe they just really believe in the orange fascist, and have enough money to burn for betting on him.

It's also possible the market isn't as distorted as they think; it's not easy to quantify how much one individual bet has affected others' decisions.
