You're also forgetting that the market isn't about who makes it to the white house. So even if the US military takes command, the US is under martial law and the military reinstate Trump( :lol: :lol: :lol: ), Betfair can still settle the market with Biden the winner!
yes that has crossed my mind. Betfair rules, and what actually ends up coming to pass, may be 2 different things! However, 5k loss against a 100k win means im willing to take that chance!

If you're intelligent, your views don't depend on what media you listen to but how your brain processes information! Whatever channel you watch we're all hearing Trump having a tantrum over being cheated just like an eight-year-old who lost a board game but his lack of evidence means you can ignore it. Shame about that £5K you've lost. ;)
hhhm it seems to me that the only ones saying that trump is having a tantrum are the desperate main stream media! Fortunately i dont listen to their 'programmes' as i dont like to be "programmed"! :D

Must admit im confused why people are saying there is no evidence. Even on social media there are plenty of videos of people slyly inserting usb drives into the venezuelan -made dominion machines, whilst at the same time trying to hide themselves from the cctv. There are also vids showing suitcases full of ballot boxes being wheeled out after republican poll watchers had been told to leave, so they couldnt see what was going on. Plus hundreds of affadavits of course.The amount of evidence is overwhelming! And of course im sure there is plenty more that hasnt been released to the public for legal reasons.

Anyway, whilst im waiting for trump to be announced president again, ill continue to daydream of how im going to spend all the money that the biden backers are graciously donating to me ! You guys are too kind! :D
I don't work for mainstream media! If you take your blinkers and earplugs off you'll find everybody is saying that - because he is having a childish tantrum.

The evidence is overwhelming?? :lol: :lol: Social media is full of it why don't you post the links? And why didn't they present it in one of the 40 court cases?? As I've said before, inserting a USB drive into a computer is not a criminal offense, nor is moving ballot boxes - they don't have legs unfortunately. Enjoy your daydream while it lasts. :)

Have you actually read the rules? It's arguable that Biden's already the winner of the Betfair market. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the lay orders on Biden are people who just want to cash out, given the length of time it's taking to settle the market.

i did read the rules yes (admittedly AFTER i had placed the bulk of my money, in a moment of panic). My understanding is that it will come down to the due date of the electoral college votes, and up to 48 hours afterwards. if that is the case - and given that reps outnumber doms- i think it should still go to trump as they constituationally have to vote according to party lines. Also, my understanding is that if the election gets cancelled - which i believe it will, all bets get voided anyway. So unless Biden wins - which i sincerely doubt will happen - im pretty sure i wont lose my steak.

Ultimately , just to complicate thigsn even more, if biden does get in, it will be the green light for The Great Reset. In which case the deliberate worldwide policy of taking away ownership of evrtything for all of us, destroying all small and medium sized businesses, and taking all our money from us, will be brought in. So it doesnt really matter if i lose anyway! The world is in for a big change either way!

It's pretty obvious that the odds are literally against you but I hope you win, just because you've put your money where your mouth is & personally I like a good plot twist... anyway, I better get back on the reality train, we are all off to erm.... nobody knows. We will know we're there though when a fat lady sings. Good luck!

Sorry, but Biden will certainly be declared the winner by Jan 6 at the very latest when the electoral college votes are declared. Trump is a con-artist who just wants to milk as much money from his supporters as possible before he has to leave.

There's going to be a funds transfer from your Betfair account to Euler's I'm afraid :lol:

You lost all your money, let this be a lesson to you in the future to try to use your brain a bit more.

So, you placed the bulk of 5 grand on a market without having a clue how the winner's decided, and now you're giving us advice!

Not quite sure how on earth brain-dead Biden will be declared winner as he has an indictment out for his arrest out of Ukraine! Plus an ankle monitor to boot!

From what i hear, the electoral college is made up of 31 reps to 19 dems, and according to the constitutionit has been reported that they have to vote along party lines.

Good luck with getting a Biden win out of that scenario!

My money is looking very safe i think!

I wouldn't call anyone brain-dead if I were you. ;) Last week you were speculating that he's under house arrest, now it's a fact!!

Have you actually received reports from a reliable source that a warrant is out for his arrest or have you just got confused and forgotten that you were dreaming it up? Like you forgot to read the rules of the market before betting thousands and still seem to have forgotten that the market won't be settled on who becomes the next president? Perhaps you're just believing what you want to believe for the sake of your bet?

Waste of time and energy even engaging Derek, when you counter his argument with verifiable facts he just ignores them and moves on to the next fantasy. To be fair he's not the only one on this thread who has done that, or maybe he is? Its hard to know how many aliases some have on the forum.

I think this is something I can definitely 100% agree with you on... life is full of little surprises :lol:

Problem with debating people is it leaves your ego open to exploitation, be it by wind up merchants or aliases.

If I can rescue just one person in my lifetime from a world of delusion it will all be worthwhile. :)
