Betfair did indeed settle but there is a huge lawsuit of over 1000 people who - me included - who are fighting it cos they settled early. Its all a bit confusing but there seems to be some indication that Betfair will pay out when Trump wins. Apparently they did exactly the same in 2016 - they never learn!

My market today is the Trump Exit date - 1.02 to lay trump leaving in 2021. Waiting for a mug to take my money :-)

And lambo is still on hold!
Do you want to be right, or do you want to make money?

Imagine suing Betfair over a lost gamble :|

Dems won the 2 GA senate seats, Republicans definitely have to move to someone less divisive but if Trump decides to run can the Reps stop him? Or he could just register as an Independent.

For all our sakes I hope this doesn't open the floodgates to wokery and worse. I'd suspect not because there will be many sensible Democratic senators but make no mistake, the woke will be emboldened on their assualt on freedom.

The left wokery fits all the characteristics of a religion, looks a lot like the Spanish inquisition, focuses on beliefs rather than search for truth, in fact the woke don't believe in any objective truth just subjective use of power.

if the dems take the senate and biden forces through his gun controls then the US is heading for civil war. I think 70 million gun owning americans will be seriously pissed off.

Both wings of Repub and Dems are crazy. The Trumpians seem to favor a dictatorship-theocracy (happy to overthrow democray), the Wokians want anarchy (police gone, but social policing of thought and speech instead).

Trump seems to be a wannabe authoritarian-strong-man who was too much of a buffoon
to pull it off.

Ok, so the Repubs just lost both senate seats in Georgia because most voters realized they don't want to live under a theocracy.

There may be challenges to the electoral votes today in Congress/Senate, but Pence basically must certify Biden as the winner. Pence's only other legal option might be to 'send back' the electors to the state legislatures for confirmation, but this would only delay a Biden win for another few days.

So Biden definitely wins either today or in another few days at most.

The only chance for Trump to win would be to stage a military coup, but I'm pretty sure he just wouldn't have any support in the military to carry it out.

just to add that .. he wasnt asking to "invent" an extra 11,000 votes out of thin air. The extra votes are there, Trump already has the evidence of that and knows exactly how many votes he got. He just wanted to gve Slazenberger the chance to come clean, admit to it, and hand over the votes that trump legally got
It's a bit late for you now as Betfair have settled the market and your bet's lost! Not much point in having evidence if only you and Trump have seen it and won't share it. Trump can't be inaugurated now as he's planning to be in Scotland to avoid having to watch Biden get sworn in. :)

I've just read some of your posts. Thanks for the laugh and insight into how delusional people can get! Now I kinda understand why Trump was trading at 1.02/1.03 for so long.

My unsolicited advice for you is to take some time off, reassess things, have a serious think about how you got to this point and try to unpack/reset all that bullshit you've swallowed up over the years. Perhaps go on some sort of spiritual journey. I'm not trying to take the piss, it's serious heartfelt advice.

Do you mind if I ask how much it's costing each of you to sue Betfair over a bet that lost?

I get genuinely confused why people think Trump is an authoritarian? I can only assume its from listening to propaganda outlets like Sky News / BBC news / GMB too much? Trump is OBLIGATED by the Constitution, which is what the law of america is based on, on behalf of the people, to ensure that the election was done without any fraud. He has an absolute obligation to do that. He is absolutely not being a dictator in any way. The tyranny that much of the world is experiencing right now - under the hoax of this pandemic - comes from the very deep state that Trump is fighting! If Trump were to go down, the tyranny of lockdowns etc will become a PERMANENT thing, and we will be under worldwide communist control. That is an absolute fact.

Sorry for such a long post but many people dont seem to realise the enormity of what is happening right now. Trump and the alliance have been aware for many years that if they dont beat the deep state - which includes the royal family, vatican, ALL main stream media, Hollywood celebs, and influential people all across the globe - then the world will go dark. He simply CANNOT let that happen. He is literally fighting for the freedom of humanity. Put simply, if we want to ever be free from lockdowns, Trump HAS to win.

Its your choice as to whether to believe me or not, of course, its no skin off my nose. However, you may want to watch this if you want the full story of what has been going on behind the scenes for the last 4 years:

https://youtu.be/eMP1C7ImjjQ

I know most people probably wont even bother watching it, but if you do i promise you your view of what is going on will change dramatically.

Of course, alternatively, you can keep believing that there really is a dangerous new strain of the virus which has just arrived. How convenient!

Its going to be one excuse after another to keep locking us all down!

In the meantime, Trump Exit Date 2021 is still looking an exceptional lay at 1.02 / 1.03 !

Betfair are giving indications that they may voluntarily pay out once Trump WINS. They also sent me an email saying they will abide by any IBAS decision. So it shouldnt cost anything. But if it does go to the legal lawsuit, i guess there will be some sort of commissiont to pay to lawyers etc
