There is probably a reason your government and corporate press doesn't talk about things you aren't supposed to know about.
Vegas Election Odds 2020 - Political Betting Lines Las Vegas
I'd give more odds on Pete Buttigieg, other than that, yeah, looks right.
If you placed some money on Pete those odds would improve.
At this point, only a fool would put loot on anything but Trump.
His point is that Vegas odds follow the money. In other words, the odds move closer to 1:1 the more money is bet on a particular person/team/occurrence. The higher odds are intended to encourage betters to place bets on other persons/teams/occurrences so the money line always leans towards the house. The only odds you can ever put any stock in are the opening lines that are set by the odds makers, or changes in the lines by the odds makers due to information they receive that changes something outside the money line. Anyone who has followed the NCAA tournament has seen this, even though most people are still somehow unaware of it.
