i am trying to place a bet and cant find a site. I did ask this question the other day, as they cants get their money back if paid out and will have to pay out again at higher odds.

Predictit.org, you might struggle to find places to buy. Remember, you can buy Yes on R, OR no on D winning! Also, lots of fees, so know what you are getting into!

This would be like trying to place a bet as the refs were reviewing a touchdown for the win during second overtime. Seriously doubt anyone's still taking action.

Most bets have closed since November 4. Everyone had been expecting a clean declaration, but as soon as the first night of the election drop occurred, bets stayed opened for about maybe a day before shutting doors on any new bets being placed.

Closed betting markets will probably not reopen. There are several reasons for this:

1. The insane odds. These odds are based on polling data and not amount of bets placed. This is usually justified by the perception that polls provide the most accurate data, even though we know that isn't true at all. The deep state might also be pressuring the bookies to give the illusion of a Biden success.

2. Fraud. This is essentially cheating, and threw off every single prediction by both mainstream and independent media who weren't in the know. This essentially launched a new game that no one was expecting nor prepared to bet on.

3. Biden declared as "president-elect". Any open betting markets may be seen as a signal of dissent against the MSM's declaration that Biden is the victor. The only reason why bets haven't been paid out for a Biden win yet is because the actual condition of victory is the legal declaration by the legislative body.

4. Economics. Millions of $s more in bets have been placed on a Trump win over a Biden win. The amount that they would have to pay out in a Trump victory would be enormous, running into the hundreds of millions of $$$s, and the writing on the wall points to a strong chance of a Trump victory. Odds are the only instrument that a bookie can use to signal the actual situation of the betting market. Since that's tied to polls they can't do much else but to mitigate their losses in case of a Trump win, for example by keeping the betting market shut.

I’m legitimately curious as to what happens now? Would the bookies ask for the money back?

I saw some sites pay out on a Biden win and they said they will also pay out on a Trump win if it happens. Gambling sites bout to lose a shitload of money

Are they too stupid to know how our system works? You'd have to be brain-dead or woefully ignorant to pay out before the electoral college votes. Personally, I wouldn't pay out before noon of January 20th.

I guess that’s what happens if you pay attention to the fake news. Loose big league.
