    Dems really need to find a better candidate. I can’t believe we’re going to have these two running again.

    Interesting. Thought political betting illegal in US? Wonder how Vegas is setting odds.

    So now that Trump’s the favorite, are posters allowed to mention him without being told they are deranged for even bringing him up?

    Who's this "we," you speak of? I've certainly never voted for Trump.

    When he crashes the economy again it’s likely we’ll have Lower gas prices. Heck oil may go negative again. So Yay!

    Don’t think his Saudi Bankers will be too happy with that but Bonesaws has ways of making problems go away..

    No, it’s just where all the Vegas gamblers put their money into offshore gambling houses to achieve the same net result. Stick to running a trash company and spare us the nonsensical spin.

    They’re boxed in. It’s an unspoken contract they have with Biden. When the Dems pick their candidate, they ride him/her until the end, no matter what.

    Of course, you’re allowed to. Why would you ever question that? Are you going to let these people bully you into not talking about the presidential favorite? Is this America?

    Look. If you want to make a post where you say he's the Vegas Favorite you should probably know how this works. And if you want to follow it up by saying oddsmakers are generally not wrong, when in fact, they are wrong 49% of the time and basically make their money on the vig, well that's on you to look dumb. Try sticking to Covid misinformation and spare us your subsequent lack of gambling knowledge

    I love too how the delusional OP buys into the calling Trump by his former title stupid trope.

    You are showing a very weak understanding of how odds-making works in a scenario like this. It may be true that oddsmakers are wrong 49% of the time about the margin of victory for any given event, but we care not about margin of victory in this scenario. Trump only needs to win 270 electoral college votes and he’s the next POTUS. That’s all we’re concerned with. Oddsmakers miss the spread all the time, but are still correct about the winner of the game in most cases. Bet you have to be up early in the morning. Get some rest.

    All I want to know is your prediction for the election. That will truly tell us who is going to win

    Well the point I meant to make was not about being legally barred from making statements, but instead not being attacked as literally “deranged” for referencing Trump. I think it should be clear now that since his presidency, Trump has never become the unimportant political figure that many on the right have bafflingly portrayed him as.

    I still like that you want to explain to me how betting odds work when you didn't know you couldn't bet on US Politics in the US. Sleep is for geriatric Trump knobs, you go enjoy some.

    It’s because most people here feel like they have to hedge every post they make, instead of just telling it how it is and dealing in reality. But this is nothing new for some Republican voters, mind you. Recall how many times they predicted Trump’s demise in 2015 and 2016 during the primary season. And even take a guy like Pence, who is delusional enough to think America would ever elect him to be POTUS. He tried discrediting Trump, but he’s delusional, as Mike Pence has the driest personality I’ve ever seen in politics. Look at Chris Christie. On his best day, he’s hitting 2% in the polls. Still out there doing everything he can to marginalize Trump.

    So I think those are the type of people you’re dealing with in a lot of cases and many of those people are simply delusional. There’s no point in engaging them.
