@uair01 If you expect the outcome will randomly go either way, and others have pushed the odds away from 50%, then you can profit from betting against them.
@uair01 For the S&P , I use the VIX to compare moving averages and expectations.
Take this chart for example:

@TeddyWeverka On Google you can compare S&P to the VIX
Today looks like this so far, much like my example above just not as exaggerated :
