Obviously they're waiting for the actual official result not the media's pretend "official" call.

Well, it's the responsible thing to do. 10% odds for Trump are still 10% odds. If they pay out and something changes, it will be a complete mess for them. I love how people think this is shocking. It's like falcons fans asking for their payout after the 2nd half in superbowl LI. Yeah, it's probably a safe payout, but their quarterback is tom fucking brady.

One site did pay out. Then got bitched at and said if Trump wins they'll also pay that out.

They are not refusing to call it for Biden,

as has been pointed out ad-nausium, newspapers, MSM nor any private entity can call the election, whichever the candidate.

The bookies are waiting, like we all are, for the official call to be announced.

The more interesting question is what do the bookies do when the entire election is declared void. do they refund everybody or keep all of the bets,

I've read that someone in the UK bet 5 million on DJT winning.

if it is declared void, then both sides get a refund, as you are betting on the election

I was wondering about this yesterday, especially about the guy that put a $5 million bet on Trump. I wonder what his payout will be

19
patriotfortrump 19 points ago +19 / -0

I got in at 3-1 so if he was somewhere close to that then that would be 15 million.

bohlah00 13 points ago +13 / -0

I got in some coin at 50-1. Please President Trump don't give up

Dang, not sure that was worth it. I’m broke so I wouldn’t bet $500 just to potentially get $1500. I feel bad for that guy though, I think he was in the UK and according to another comment, those red coats already called it and paid out. Funny how the two largest world powers after the US (China, Russia) have yet to acknowledge any “results.” Hedging their diplomatic bets perhaps?

Im in 55 bucks on Trump with a payout of around 500

PigBeenBorn 8 points ago +8 / -0

I’m in 1000 with payout around 9000. I’m still putting more down. I’m telling you guys trump has it and he’s fucking with the enemy now

Predictit.org

GreenBean 3 points ago +3 / -0 (edited)

I threw 500 on there.

I bought the D NO electoral college victory 60 to 99

Bought R 30-59/60-99

Took R's in MI senate and Nevada presidential

I want to go balls deep but don't really trust the site not to fuck me.

Im debating putting more on PI with the shares so low for Trump right now. But the fact that already settled a bunch of races makes me hesitant.

2
PigBeenBorn 2 points ago +2 / -0

I don’t think they’d settle the presidential election lines until middle of December when electoral reps vote, or at least until everything’s certified. Get it in this weekend, this past Monday Trump hinted hammers would start dropping next week

Ruined 2 points ago +2 / -0

I cant get into the general, it is maxed. But PA, WI, GA and other races are also at 10 cents. Im sensing we have by far the best shot in PA, but past that it is a mess.

patriotfortrump 6 points ago +6 / -0

No credible betting site could call the race based on the "media". A guy who has five mil to bet surely has enough sense to read the user contract first.

True, like I said, I’ve always been poor/working class, so I’m not privy to the nuances of high stakes gambling. I guess I shouldn’t feel bad for someone else who had $5 million to “invest” in such risky endeavors. He should’ve set some aside to donate to Trump’s legal defense if he really wanted to win lol

Speaking at a regular press briefing Friday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said that China "respected the choice of the American people."

"We congratulate Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris. At the same time, we understand that the outcome of this US election will be ascertained in accordance with US laws and procedures," he said.

So China are actually not all in on Biden yet, cautious congratulations from minister. Of course our fake news MSM have already declared it as China acknowledging the result

I know for a fact as a UK pede the vast majority of bookies are waiting for recounts, audits and any legal challenges to be completed

They already makes my Trump bet as a losing ticket. This is in the UK. Fucking retards think the media calls elections.

AussiesNeverShitpost 4 points ago +4 / -0

Weird, opens them up to some crazy law suits if they don't fix that up once he does win. I only had a bet on NY going red become a losing ticket, although I still believe it'll go red if it actually gets audited. And once it does go red, they'll have to pay up anyway.

I tried betting on Trump myself but here it is illegal because betting sites don't Gove a cut to the italian government, at least you could try :S

Same here bet365 declared Biden winner, so I took it to chat and explained the MSM doesn't call the vote, they said to contact after the official result... Told em see you soon :p

TrumpTrainTrackz 13 points ago +13 / -0

Ladbrokes took my £5000 on Trump and said I lost! I spoke to them and they said they would pay me if the result flips. But I guess this means they paid anyone that bet on Biden so will they have to take money back off them??

9
unsquishable [S] 9 points ago +9 / -0

Nope, they'll have paid both.

iliv4gamez 9 points ago +9 / -0

Lot of people are gonna get fired if they paid out on Biden and Trump ends up winning lol.

Danster56 6 points ago +6 / -0

im with paddy power, a friend is with another one. and we still have the bets live, they even stated that they will be waiting for legal challenges, audits, recounts etc.

Paddy power famously paid out both ways in 2016 when Hillary "won" by the media and shortly then trump won, they wont do this again as its expensive for them and why i picked them.

From my understanding most bookies have not settled the best, when was yours called?

Danster56 1 point ago +1 / -0

Good thing they said they would pay if it flips, very stupid move on their part. Could be extremely expensive

Gamblers are going to be filling a lot of lawsuits if this doesn't end the right way.

Bet365 still has some of my bets in limbo (swing state bets). I cashed out when Trump was the big favourite before all this fuckery because I knew it was coming

1
ValsalvaFarts 1 point ago +1 / -0

Also Bet365 I bet on Trump and asked them if they would reverse their decision if he ends up winning after all. Their answer was no it was already settled that Biden won.

The word "refuse" can make any normal behavior sound bad.

MAGAMAN300 1 point ago +1 / -0

They know the truth!!! haha i think sometimes these gambling sites have inside information in my opinion. I've always believed that when it's that type of money involved then someone has connections somewhere that has a general idea of the outcome. There is no way they are allowing that much money unless they have at least an hint on how this plays out.

Im hoping PredictIt keeps bets open, I feel like they will because they take a cut of profits from each trade, and a lot of trades are still happening unlike other betting sites where you put one bet in and that’s it. If (when) Trump overcomes the fraud, my $450 will be $3,900 of future MAGA hat money.

1
Azrael14 1 point ago +1 / -0

Can confirm this is true. I've got money on Trump. When the AP called it for Biden, they collected my bet. But nobody can withdraw yet, until the real results are announced. This and Kamala not resigning from the Senate is how you know we're being gaslit that it's over

Heritage Sports has already marked my bets for Trump as losses

Fandigo 1 point ago +1 / -0

Its amazing how a majority of betting sites paid out early. Most of them are in the UK and too stupid to understand how the system in the US works. Election betting isn't like a sports match, in sports matches, typically its always settled at the end of the game even when the other side cheats. The problem is, the election is almost a 2 year long match. Its not over until lots over and people betting on it need to understand this and we're in overtime right now.
