You're brave trying to bet 2k on a 1-3 or 1-4 shot and get 1-1, it doesn't matter if people think he's going to win easily, you're allowed to be confident but being confident doesn't waive your right to get the proper odds.

How am I brave for offering a bet that is overwhelmingly in my favor?

And I already addressed the legalities. You can legally bet on the election at PredictIt.org.

It isn't illegal. Did you even read the article I posted?

No, it's not. Side bets between two individuals are never illegal. It's why politicians can bet who wins on the golf courses.

It's only illegal if there is a house talking bets from multiple people.

I'm being sarcastic calling you brave.

Getting the proper odds is a right?

I always knew you right-wingers live in a different universe.

What no takers?

Look at all the yard signs, the silent voters who don't tell polls who they are really voting for, that poll in LA, the bombshell that will tank Clinton and put her behind bars....? Seems like a sure bet to me.

PredictIt has Trump at 28 cents on the dollar. I'm not betting person, but aren't those odds a better payoff than Wittgenstein's Ghost's?

Trump supporters are all talk, deep down they know his chances of winning are extremely slim and dwindling with each passing day. I wish both parties had been able to offer better presidential candidates than these two.

Well now we know that the Trump supporters don't believe what they're saying.

They won't even take a friendly bet to change their status for a couple of months. That speaks volumes.

You're going to send money to a billionaire so that he can pay himself to rent his own property for an event?

Poor OP. No one will take the bet.


I'm SHOCKED.
