It's almost like the term "conflict of interest" has a meaning which is narrowly defined with legal implications.
I think the argument that odds may have an impact similar to polls is worth thinking about, but I suspect odds are based on polls, and people's decisions in terms of whether or not to vote are more likely to be influenced by polls than odds. But I'll concede there is room for the odds given for a bet impacting some people's actions.
The ethical side is also interesting, but not a conflict of interest issue. #WWKantD.
