The election betting thread

Thanks. I was thinking of you when I asked the Q and knew you'd have the answer. I gotta question the odds, though. Who is getting 4.5 to 1 on Harris and 4 to 1 on Trump? I can see it by making wagers at vastly different times, but that didn't seem to be what WES was suggesting. Also, is the draw a necessary inclusion in the case of the election bet? I guess, if it's an EC bet that there can indeed be a draw.

Edit: I know those odds are hypotheticals, but is there really such a gambling spread on this election?

 

Don't mean to pry, but like others mentioned, this has been a fun thread. Was the hundy from other snatch guy?

 

I can not speak to the election mkts. & the odds cuz I've no idea. But with all the diff betting sites, it is probably not hard to find some of these opportunities. the individual sites only care about balancing bets so as to make a profit, so using multiple sites could easily yield these opps. Sounds like @WESGATORS has found an arbitrage opp. A draw should only be relevant in a sporting event, not an election...someone's gonna be the next prez.

 

You're full of it. This was me accepting your bet:

vegasfox: "You want to go straight up $2,000 on the electoral college? I got Trump. Whoever holds the money gets $200 from the winner. Fair enough? Let's keep it nice and friendly. I'll FedEx my $ 2K in cash to the 3rd party if that's okay."

Seems simple and straightforward to me. Look how nice I was.



Here you are making it up again

vegasfox:
"If 2 MSM outlets wrongly declare Harris the victor and then retract than I don't lose my money."

sflgator
"first time I've read this - you keep adding other stuff in which is kind of my point."

vegasfox: "first time you read that? 8 mentioned 3 times on that page, posts 229, 232 and 234.

I made you a simple straightforward bet. I was very friendly and I said I would FedEx $2000 to the mod or whoever of your choice.

I guess the bet was too big for you and you're looking for excuses to run away. It couldn't be more clear.

Money talks and you know the rest

 

He didn’t apparently shirk. He didn’t pay. The bet was he proves he got in the 99% on a standardized test, I pay him $2k. If not, he pays me. I’ll spare you the long ass back and forth before and after the bet.

 

thanks, needed a laugh, been a long day

 

Are they old enough to vote?

 

Depends. Do they have elections in elementary school?

 

I had them pegged for 8th grade give or take a year.

 

If that was the bet show me the quote. The truth is that was not the bet. The bet was I got four 99% on my PCAT, which I did. If the pharmacy school no longer has my PCAT how can I prove it, except to present 3 people who know I smoked the test and had the highest PCAT in my class.

Pretty obvious I would not have called Victoria in the pharmacy school office on August 9 and offered her $1000 if she could find my PCAT unless I knew what my scores were. She will be working in the pharmacy office Thursday October 31. You can call her and see if I offered her the $1K.

Obviously if the college of pharmacy doesn't have my PCAT score anymore I can't produce it.

I do have a retired pharmacy professor and 2 other people who will back me up, but as I predicted you would not accept their testimony. If you did you would have to pay me $2K.

Now, given what you claim our bet was (you mangled it), I could still take a standardized test and score in the top 1%. Would you pay? Very doubtful.

 

I have him on ignore, but I know who you are talking about. What year did the guy take the test? It can't be that hard to produce the test results.

 

Bet Trump against SFL at 50/50 odds and bet Kamala in the market at less than 50/50 odds so Kamala payout is higher.

 

SFL?

 

Think he’s referring to sflagator.

 

It was around 8th grade that I became the magnet that I am today.

 

I wish I hadn’t known you in 8th grade you piece of garbage.

@sflagator my bet was identical to this morons; 1k
