    Except you never invited me to pick the person. Not until I pointed out your scam 4 or 5 times. Why don’t you throw your money into Polymarket and brag to us all about how much cake you won? I’ll be the first person here to congratulate you. Take a screenshot of your wager after it’s made on there so we know you’re not scamming that too.

    I was capitulating to your ridiculous assertion to show that it wasn't serious, it was just you trying to deflect. But I will do it. For the fifth time, you pick the person and put up the money. Unless you are afraid of losing.

    If you could tell me how to scam polymarket though I'd be interested in that

    I think @tilly would be a trustworthy $ holder. I'll do it, but I certainly hope that my rep is more chequered than his.

    Google. You'll know how very quickly if you know how to read at a 3rd grade level. 3 to 1 odds. Have fun. Take a screenshot after you wager not like the one you took when you are trying to make us think you were going to sign up.

    I can't sign up on polymarket it doesn't allow US citizens.

    For somebody who had some shit to say about reading on a third grade level you don't read very well

    again, because you don't seem to get it I don't really want polymarket's money. I want your money. I want you to feel the sting when you have to pay it to me. But you aren't confident enough in your position to risk it. Because you are a [insert relevant word here]

    You’ll be MIA in 8 days. That’s the much safer bet.

    i'll bet you $1000 that doesn't happen either. You don't even have to put up the money with a third-party, I'm just curious if you'll make the bet

    edit: I'm not actually curious because I know you won't, because you're a :emoji_pouting_cat:

    I don't know why people aren't lining up to take advantage of this I've said numerous times I'm like the worst gambler out there. Although I have made some good money here on GC over the years

    I follow polls pretty closely, and there's one out today I haven't seen before: The Cooperative Election Survey from Tufts. National survey of 47,000 likely voters, and Harris up by 4. It's listed in 538, but not Real Clear Politics, whch is not surprising. I'd also be intrested to know which polls the RNC commissions because what sflagator says makes perfect sense.

    Florida has had mail-in voting for over 30 years and anyone can request a ballot. By that logic that would make Desantis an illegitimate governor. Is that what you were saying?

    careful I might scam you.

    One of them was patriot polls I can't remember what the other ones were. It wasn't all of the polls it was just some of them, but they tend to skew the polling average

    i'm not sure national surveys mean a lot. Unfortunately we are once again prisoners to like five counties in Pennsylvania and the rust belt

    always some kind of excuse with these guys. gotta blame the mail in ballots, or the absentee ballots, or the regular ballots, or the dominion machines, or sunspots, or the lizard men running the government
