I'll nail my colours to the mast now.I agree 100% with Biden.
"In a speech after the announcement, he said the US democracy had been "pushed, tested and threatened" and "proved to be resilient, true and strong"
Totally agree with you Mr Biden.

I think that was a pivotal market in my betting career. Not just in terms of scale or anything, but in terms of how the market acted, how the voting process went what path people followed.

It always surprise me when information is presented in a clear manner, but it still splits opinion.

I had closing positions on Biden at various prices but none were taken, giving me a final bonus.

I had a big bet on Trump, it lost and I've moved on - you will always get people complaining.

missed the medical stuff that you guys were talking about, but to save anyone else the fruitless searching, here it is in brief:

Your heart is located between your lungs in the middle of your chest, behind and slightly to the left of your breastbone (sternum). A double-layered membrane called the pericardium surrounds your heart like a sac. ;)

whats your estimate of the comission they made on the market, think its a tiny percentage with so much time and liquidity to trade back and forth and lot of people cutting liabilities in the end

must a be a fraction of the overall average

Betfair should open a 'Who wil be sworn is as US President on 20th Jan' market as it seems there is still a lot of differing opinions on this and money can still change hands.
