I might be wrong from time to time, but I am a straight shooter and will admit when my preferred party is wrong or losing. I think Biden's lead is insurmountable.

You don't understand how odds are set and why they fluctuate...

Bookies are only after one thing: money. They want to balance the amount they payout with the amount they collect. When those equal each other, that's a perfect line. They make money on the vig.

At 2 am the morning after the election (before the fraud was initiated) Las Vegas odds were Trump winning 8:1.

When are all the payments finalized for the Vegas bets? Have any of them been paid?

If any have been paid, what happens when the fraud is reversed and Trump wins?

They bet on everything in Vegas.
You can find odds on just about every circumstance in life and bet on it in Vegas

FACT CHECK: Misleading and lacking context.

You need to put a warning on your post.
