* BREAKING NEWS*
Trump reckons “BIG VOTER FRAUD INFO COMING” in the not too distant, just checking on the POTUS market & it seems to either be closed, suspended or in limbo?
US Presidential Election 2020
Peter got in and put his bank on
The Betfair market is still open, with Trump now at 25-1 and drifting. Once the odds of something have fallen that low, you can generally forget about it.
Trump has known for a while that he has no chance, he just wants to crap on Biden's parade, so to speak.
I wouldn't be surprised to see him dragging out the drama for another couple of weeks, but he'll concede once all the certifications are done (before Dec 8th).
FWIW I agree.
The popular vote winner has also moved into 1.02/1.03

What does "generally" mean, 95% of the time?
I can't imagine Trump ever conceding. He might walk out of the White House of his own free will and accept he's no longer the president, but that's not the same as conceding. He'll continue to insist to his dying day that the election was rigged and he was the rightful winner.
I agree with your assessment Derek. Just as he never accepted he lost popular vote to Hilary in 2016.Derek27 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 22, 2020 2:59 amI can't imagine Trump ever conceding.

On other hand some people (eg NYT, the guardian, some dems etc) never accepted the outcome of 2016 election was legitimate blaming Russian interference among others. A bit like remoaners not accepting Brexit.
Trump is doing something similar. Trumps actions strike at the legitimacy of the democratic outcome but so did the complaints from the losers in 2016. It’s all goose and gander.

Massive market flucs coming this week. I expect to see some large moves by Friday.
Edit: this is only my opinion. obviously.

I forgot about this thread, it virtually fell off the board.
The clue was in the words "I expect".

You didn't say which way the large moves were going, but given that Biden was 1.05 odd and 1.01 isn't a large move, were you suggesting heavy backing for Trump?abgespaced wrote: ↑Mon Nov 23, 2020 10:21 pmMassive market flucs coming this week. I expect to see some large moves by Friday.

Trump reminds me of some heaty arguments I had with my older brothers when I was ten years old. When it dawned on me that I was wrong, it was usually a slow climb down, whilst insisting I was largely right, or right about one thing or another.
I reckon now that he's cornered he's forced to take advice from whoever's around him, and he's beginning to realise he can't barricade himself in the White House.
