    You can make $3 back for every $1 you bet on Polymarket right now. Why would you entertain less?

    I've been on gator country for like 20 years so if I'm a Russian shill I'm definitely playing the long game

    All based on the “lunch” you had with a GOP operative? As if the billions of dollars already wagered on this thing don’t have their own sources and data to pick through. In fact, I would bet there are a large amount of operatives who have their money in Polymarket, Bovada, etc. Everything about your posts says fraud. Even if I’m wrong, it’s the internet and there are a lot of scammers out there.

    like I said, the smooth brain will look for any reason not to put their money where their mouth is. Do you really think me, a member here for decades, a confirmed insider, and a VIP would be trying to scam people? For pocket change?

    keep making excuses you're good at it, I said any amount of money, and I meant it. Maybe I'm just crazy, you should take advantage

    also he was a pollster, not an operative

    Oh, he was a pollster? Well, that changes everything. I’m sure there’s nobody that knows any pollsters out there throwing hundreds of thousands of dollars down on this thing. And I’m sure no pollsters would ever attempt to monetize their knowledge in that way. You’re the luckiest bastard in the world, because your pollster friend picked you. Nobody else has this insider info but you. And the great thing is, you can profit 3 to 1 on take your pick.

    Your proposal has all the markings of a scam.

    LOL, dodge and weave. I never said I was the only one I just said that this particular guy cemented my belief that the polls are not only unreliable but they are being intentionally manipulated to appease the Lara Trump GOP that is paying for them

    ANYWAY, at this point either put up or shut up. Pick whoever you want to be the person who holds the money - That way you can't claim it is some sort of scam. I already know you won't do it, but I invite you to grow a pair and put your money where your mouth is

    lol, again excuses.

    I obviously can't change the method of voting. If you are confident in your guy put up some money or pipe down

    Lara Trump is running the NY Times, CNN, WSJ, Forbes, CNBC and Insider Advantage? When the basis for your proposal contradicts reality in so many distinct ways, I owe it to my fellow Gators to call out what appears to be a scam.
