Knightwire is fishing, can't believe how many of you have taken a bite.
I'm increasingly of that opinion.
By contrast Emmson, i think im the only one on this thread who had the balls to show how much i had bet! Ive yet to see any of you other "experts" do that! :lol:

I thought he might be taking the piss when he suggested Biden's dead and replaced with a double but it's hard to tell. He posted his liability on Trump, over £4K at the time.
Biden isn't a clone and Knightwire knows it. Biden is simply on the Marina Ambramovich diet, anyone who's anyone knows that.
well said! Although i have seen videos of how amazingly lifelike clones can be, so im not ruling it out ;) As for Abramovich, my guess is she was taken out long ago. One of Trumps main objectives was to stamp out human trafficking, and from what i hear he went after the main offenders pretty early on after he got to power
I'm not dragging this any deeper, I think the forum needs a break, I'm probably half way up the naughty step already and there is no way I'm going to suggest that she's still alive, probably treating the scolds on John Podestas adopted.... that's it, I'm off before I get banned.

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

You avoided the question as usual - how much is the lawsuit of over 1000 people including you costing?

You can't critisise my for not wasting 3 hours of my time watching your fantasy videos when you can't find 15 seconds to reply!
sorry if i missed your question Derek, i do try to give you my full attention, but so many posts on this thread i do miss things at times :(

There is no lawsuit as such as yet. Over 1000 have signed up to it, if it goes that far, and will be with a no win no fee solicitor. We have to see if first Betfair will pay up without it going to court. If they dont, or if IBAS rule in their favour (which we doubt) we go with the lawsuit
Slight misunderstanding there. When you said "there is a huge lawsuit of over 1000 people who - me included...", you meant there is no lawsuit as such as yet. "As such" and "as yet", as they usually are, are purely cosmetic but completely redundant words to most sentences. So what you really meant by there is a huge lawsuit is that there is absolutely no lawsuit whatsoever - just people dreaming of it.

Everything is out there online. You just have to take the time to look for it :D
Nobody lives long enough to read everything on the internet. You have to be selective, read information pointed by reliable people, ignore information pointed by people who say there's a huge lawsuit involving 1000 people when they know there's no lawsuit, or a lawsuit involving 0 people. :)

It doesn't take balls to show how much you've bet unless you've got an ego.

Tell me if you have had enough guys.
At the risk of depriving Derek27 of entertainment, I think this thread has run its course. Only reason for keeping it open is to witness knightwire2 saying 'oops I was wrong'. But I think there's a greater chance of the earth being hit by a metorite than that.

I always thought the only good thing about George W Bush was his two daughters, but I'll credit him for speaking out now.

We may as well let it run until the inauguration, but beyond that, the thread could get taken over by conspiracy theorists.

As I type there's talk on CNN about the 25th amendment, whether Trump's mentally capable of being president. He's still got two weeks to start the first ever nuclear civil war, might be worth going for it!

See, you fallen into the trap. Bush was killed and replaced by a clone. It's SOOOOOOOOO obvious.
Sorry, few days into lockdown and I'm losing my mind (not that there was much to begin with). But at least my lunacy has some basis in fact ( I think, but then how would I know if I'm barking mad). Fwaff!, Flange!! Cullender!! ....errrr......crevice!!!!

Communist governments around the world must be watching and pissing themselves laughing about how the west deal with security and public order - can't even run one of the most important days of the year in the US political calendar. :lol:

I don't think that's what Euler was asking :)

As for the thread I think its like the death by euthanasia or natural causes debate. The thread has already died once by natural causes and I think it should be let die the same way again .

Have his daughters been replaced my mechanical clones that remain forever young? :D

Twitter going into overdrive to try and prove that this was all Antifa's doing and that those who broke into the Capitol weren't Trump supporters at all!

it was nothing to do with ego Derek. I was asked by others on this forum to back up what i was saying, by showing i was confident in what i was saying. If you were not willing to do that, i guess that is just a sign that you are not particularly confident in what you are saying. Anyway, im off, this forum is giving me a headache ! Good luck! :D
