Who wants to be elected at this time and then have to deal with the recession and be blamed for it anyway?
Trump because he doesn't care about 4 years time! :D

If I was the one who had that $1.3m on Biden, I’d think about getting out now

Trump reminds me of an eight-year-old I used to child sit who couldn't cope with losing a game. :lol:

I feel this is far from being a Biden victory & i'm half tempted to dip back in for a lay at this price.

Out of the states yet to be called officially,

Nevada
Arizona
Wisconsin
Michigan
Alaska
Pennsylvania
North Carolina
Georgia

Only Nevada was Dem in 2016. The lead in Wisconsin and Michigan is slim and Michigan still has 8% left to count. Bit of a reach going against what looks to be a Biden victory but I think there is defo room for a twist or 2 yet.

If / when he loses this officially it will be a hell of a man-baby meltdown!

I'd guess a combination of over eager backers (like when Trump was backed in last night into the 1.2s) and more importantly the fact that most of the remaining ballots to be counted are mail-in which favours Biden

Because Biden is in the lead 227 v 213 ?

Bernie hits the nail on the head.

That was always going to happen, that's why the Dems wanted wide margin of victory. If they would have won Texas or Florida the mail in ballots would have been pretty much irrelevant .

Totally agree, just the sudden surge in activity felt bit strange considering Michigan dipped back in by 0.2 percent
