But why would you do that when the market says it will be settled on the electoral college vote? Which was clearly, even after legal challenges, in favour of Biden. Some of these people were placing bets on Trump even as the electoral college votes were being declared.

It's got to be the definition of stupidity.

So my take from that...

Hold the line, It's not the real Biden, Trump has won already, He put £16k to win £350k and can't accept he's lost his dough...

It just mind baffling!
Although this market has been a great insight into how some peoples minds work no matter how overwhelming something is they just become so blinkered and entrenched they won't change their view no matter what's put in front of them

He doesn't care because he thinks he's going to be rich anyway in 2021. I think it was knightwire that came up with that one. I wonder how many people will be throwing all their money onto the exchange next year thinking that money will soon become worthless. :lol:

It's just getting crazy, as it says in the article;

"“I watched the hearings of Rudy Guiliani and Jenna Ellis for ballot fraud, I listed to Sidney Powell and Lin Wood for the election fraud,” she said, in reference to conspiratorial lawyers arguing in Trump’s favor. “It looked very, very likely"

Well I listen to Matt Chapman et el say its very very likely 'Runaway Superstar' is going to win the 16:30 at Haydock - But I still ain't betting £1000s on it!

Trump Exit date went from 2 million matched to 5 since Monday night and is 1.06/07, some more value to be had there!

Many traders will make a 6% profit on their capital between now and the time the market's settled.

i cant sensibly use 95% of my capital on betfair im sure many are the same
anyway the point is that market clearly picked up since the main one has been settled
the market will likely settle in 5 or so weeks

I really don't know whether to laugh or cry at this. On the face of it he seems an intelligent and articulate chap. Then the words that form in his brain and come out through his mouth are just jaw-dropping.

He's just your run of the mill conspiracy theorist. Scroll down the other videos on his channel and you see the word plandemic :roll: People like this tend to believe in multiple conspiracy theories.

There also seems to be a video where he has a serious discussion on whether or not demonic possession is real.

Says it all really

Not sure demonic possession can be used during an IBAS submission. Not sure, never tried.
