Am I the only one who can't wait for this election to be over so this thread can be buried in a vault somewhere?! :D

And he would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling postmen :evil:

This is the most entertaining election you'll ever see in your life. I love it when CNN inform viewers that Trump is lying again. They couldn't do it over here. :D

Smarkets and Matchbook have settled the market, but Betfair is still open and 1.05 available.

It would be a huge credit to Betfair if they waited for the official results before settling the market, rather than just relying on MSM declarations.

STOP THE C**T

If Joe Biden were to tweet that one out, he would forever be my hero.

Biden actually drifted a tick when the election result was announced. :? People think it's going to be reversed in the courts?

I really can't see how he can lose but with uncertainty in the rules and when the market will be settled I'm not getting involved.

Enjoyed the speeches last night. When Harris said "Joe's a healer", I thought she was saying "Joe's not here [he needs a nap]". :lol:

What made the speeches even more enjoyable was thinking about how Trump was feeling watching them. :D

The allegations made were that GOP poll watchers were forbidden entry to examine the mail-in ballots in Philladelphia, only for the court to say they were allowed but then were kicked out again hints at fraud, even though it might be legit it just doesn't look good.

There's also been a mistake in tallying votes in Fulton County (Atlanta, GA) that has to be rectified that could swing Trump's way there.

I have shifted some of my green back onto Trump @ 28s.

Only takes a court ruling in his favour Monday or Tuesday and his odds will come back in.

It’s really odd that you can still back Biden @ 1.05. Seems as though the market thinks there is going to be another twist to the saga.

If they got a serious allegation they should make a serious allegation instead of making 200 allegations. Let's face it, the sharpie pen allegation was sheer desperation. :lol:

I loved what Giuliani said: From far away, the handwriting on the ballot papers looked the same, it might even have been the same pen. :lol: :lol: :lol:
