    Did you see Nate Cohn's comments today about polling?

    But since you're open for business, how about the UF-UGA game? I know with your faith in Napier, you're betting on UF. ;)

    lol, I went from cautious supporter to extreme hater faster than anyone in history. However, I was thinking of betting on UF to cover before the line moved.

    I did see this and it's basically what I've been saying all week, and what the Republican poll guy told me. There's no reliable way to measure, and internal polling is usually better than large scale polling because it's targeted to a certain area or certain group which helps eliminate some of the inherent bias.

    Harris' people are acting like they are winning or they at least have a shot. Trump's people are running around like maniacs indicating to me that they believe that he is losing. Dude is already going apoplectic over PA. So I don't really care what the polls say because it's pretty clear what both sides are thinking, and it doesn't look too good for Donald.

    honestly the more I look at it the more I think it's not even really going to be that close.

    I don't know if it'll be close, but my gut continues to tell me that it's a Harris W. We'll find out soonish.

    Don’t gloat.
    We know you’re going to win.
    Neither candidate is good for America.

    He doesn’t seem like he’s taking the current state of things well.

    @sflagator, @okeechobee I have to tell you that I don't have the "power" to ban anyone from a forum. I will have to ask @solari to do that. Of course, you can voluntarily abide by the terms of your bet.

    I’m assuming lots of money moved to Harris and the arbitrage has disappeared.

    I believe Harris wins easily too.
    Too much hate for Trump.

    All the same.
    Honestly…he deserves to lose if he can figure out how to act right and win over some independents.
    He an asshole and an idiot.
    Kamala would be an easy opponent to defeat for a normal candidate.
