Not sure why Trump is odds on with the bookies based on what we know.

because he is more likely to win at this point .......

 

some states yet to call (eg Georgia) probably know their numbers and it’s the job of betting firms to have insight on these things to avoid losing a lot of dosh

UNITED STATES BEST NATION ON EARTH right? Definitely not..... Their electoral sistem is god awful. Insanity Is Doing the Same Thing Over and Over Again and Expecting Different Results. This applies to choosing Joe Biden over a decent human being like sanders. Oh well.

So why is he claiming fraud? If he knew he was going to win, he wouldn't be doing that.

 

Biden has just won Arizona which is big.

Or it's the job of the betting firms to get as much money as possible so they can manipulate the odds to suit them :dunno:

Presumably because he's in a position to shut the process down. And because of the remaining states Biden needs to take 2 the Dems lost in 2016, and there's not been a clear enough trend in his favour to give confidence that that's going to happen.

Edit: Three.

it’s possible - I doubt much is now being wagered on the outcome. they try to balance their book so they can’t lose ...... Having trump strongly odds on says they don’t want any more money on trump .....it means that there isn’t really any support from those wanting to place money on a Biden win.  That should tell us something ..... and there are some people out there who know how Georgia has news stations are happy to keep the game going but if you could make a few dollars then why wouldn’t you .....

Betting firms might be dodgy ****ers that target vulnerable people but they've got no need to manipulate odds, especially with a bet like this where the vast majority of the money on it would have been placed before the first vote was counted. They already hold a big enough edge without risking shenanigans.

Gonna be a total shit show 

China must be loving it. How do you convince over a billion people that their shite system is the best one? Stream the cluster**** that is American democracy to every screen in the country. Trumpet has done their work for them.

Shit constitution, shit institutions, shit democracy. The US is a complete rogue elephant on the world stage.

The voters play a part too.

 

+65M and counting voted for that scumbag, most of them twice. Despite everything that happened the last four years, especially in 2020, despite him being one of the most repulsive human being on the planet, despite his ideas and moral values (or lack thereof). Or maybe because of that.

 

A democracy is only as good as the people who vote in.
