And they just settled the bets as "lost".
You'd better fucking believe I'll be contesting those results once Trump is announced winner. To be paying those bets out to the Biden betters before the election has officially been finalised is as inappropriate as it is financially stupid. Should Trump be announced winner are they going to ask the Biden-ers nicely for their money back?
We will not be bullied into conceding.
To address a few points.
The site was Bet365.
I read through their terms and conditions and couldn't find anything stating I wasn't able to contest results, in fact there is a particular way I'm legally allowed to go about it should it come to that. The only clause I found even slightly relevant was that they reserve the right not to pay out if the integrity of the event is called into question, which it has. . . against the other guy.
So I've contacted them asking what will happen should Trump be declared winner, citing the 2000 election as precedent. I'm awaiting a response now. Wish me luck, pedes!
Any updates here?
I emailed them and they explained that they go off "official sources" and not legal proceedings (which sounds bullshit to me).
They invited me to reopen the discussion once the whole affair is over though, and I fully intend to do so, especially if these "official sources" finally declare fraud to have taken place. I'm gonna raise hell.
