Politics Betting Thread

[Chism]

thought this was the punting thread not the conspiracy thread?

This and the next post that is not punting related is getting deleted and the offender is getting a thread ban regardless if you are replying to someone that may have quoted you etc.

Take it to other boards that are discussing the election and it is not like it is not being discussed anywhere!

This is from Wikipedia from the 2020 Election for popular vote:

 

[Reveen]

Final tally of volume:

Matched: AUD 3,005,395,665

 

[NYRB]

Just rang the TAB their customer service 'they are getting conflicting numbers.....just hold on to your tickets. Consider it to be an 'interim result' and things may change once the final numbers are tallied up."

Rather be hearing that then them saying 'its a lost bet'

Im pretty certain they are over 158.5 million popular votes for sure....Michael McDonald the Uni of Florida professor has it along the lines of 159.6 million, and im hoping it can nudge over 160 million votes.......


In Michael McDonald we trust!!

Waiting 6 weeks to pay out and then going with Wikipedia results is a classic TAB move.

they did tell me they are referring to 3 different sites.....so i take it they will eventually come to a number once the dust settles.

 

[NYRB]

wow speak of the Devil, TAB just sorted the 'Popular Vote'



amazing what 1 call can do.

 

[NYRB]

157.5 to 159.999 million voter turnout settled as the winner.

 

[CHuggySera]

Gratz everybody it has finally come to an end. I am still waiting on lads/neds and pointsbet to settle a couple of bets. Might give them a call as well to hurry them up haha.


EDIT: Ladbrokes paid me out after I messaged. Pointsbet said "We are still waiting for offcial results" lmao. Honestly pointsbet has been the worst to deal with over the last couple of months. Absolute joke of a company.

EDIT 2: Okay maybe I was a bit harsh. I have now been paid out by everyone.

 

[NYRB]

Im still holding on to the thought that there will be over 160 million votes cast.

I withdrew my winnings from TAB today. I'll keep an eye out on Michael McDonald's turnout count, which still has 4 states, with 'unofficial counts' to be finalized.

Oregon, Nebraska, Missorui, Idaho

If somehow i could nudge another 370,000 votes or so - I'd be more happier.

McDonald's initial estimation was 162 million votes cast.

Im not complaining, just would be a bit cream on top of a cake if there were a flurry of late votes.

 

[ricardogp]

Late votes??? Don't you mean FAKE votes??? Fraud!

Check out the loon in a video Nate Silver has tweeted.

Some fair laughs in that class action group, this is one of my favs "You cant settle a market when the fav is only at $1.04" . Hell, even former Dees player Matty Bate makes an appearance

 

[iluvparis]

Some external power.....it is nearing Christmas.......

 

[CHuggySera]

That facebook page is a proper laugh. No offense at all to people who bet on Trump before the election, there were deffinitely arguments for why it could be a winning bet.

But the people who piled money on after the results were known... they are legitimately insane. So i'm not surprised by their comments or the page. Just sad really.

Didn't Betfair also telegraph that they will settle bets after the 14th when the projected electoral votes are known. How people still bet on Trump is beyond me.

 

[anabac]

and Ladbrokes hopefully

Lads paid out Biden pretty much immediately after the election

I had a bet on the EC votes by states, which was settled this week. It was one of those novelty bets.

There is an 81% chance that the UK-EU will sign off on a trade deal before the end of 2020.
