If trump becomes next president you win. If trump becomes sworn in by the scotus you win. However trump is elected you win. If either biden or trump fail to make 270 eletorial votes, the winner is whoever is elected by court process. Trump.

Now here is the problem.

Betfair have said they are likely to close the market on the 15th dec, when congress certifies the electorial votes. If biden is sworn in then, we likely lose. But they might change their rules and prolong market ie if there is major court cases going they might keep market open past 15th dec.

They dont care who wins and said they want to settle the market fairly.

I have a lot of money on it. I am hoping biden doesnt get >269 certified by 15 dec and we win.

What do you think?

Yep. And i think it is in everyones best interest to keep the market open as long as possible. Betfair are making like 60k per day on interest alone. Over 2 billion market and adding. Betfair are happy making 100 milion plus lol. I think they will try to be fair as possible. They have said they can change the rules. I also hope somthing big happe s before 14th dec to stop certification. Trumps 2018 act allows tell 18 dec for him to use it.

Read the fine print on those bets. They have a lot of details where they won't pay out if the election does not finish in a traditional way. This one won't. By the time senators vote, there will only be one presidential candidate due to corruption by Biden, quite possibly. Also, some places don't pay out if electors are "faithless" (if they vote against the apparent winner in their state)

Betfair is an exchange so, essentially you are placing a bet against whoever decides to give you that price. Betfair take a commission of all bets placed regardless so they make their cut the same regardless of who's 'first past the post'. The 'Next President ' market is just that. So personally th he current price of 30 which Trump is trading at represents excellent value all things considered. That's just my opinion as a punter as if his price comes in to say between 10-16 (which I think it will), then you'll have a good trade out at that stage anyway.

Even if he wins the presidency by default and not by election? By default, I mean Joe Biden is found to be compromised by China and thus ineligible for the office.

Oh that's cool. Looks like those terms are way better than the other betting markets. Nice.

Good luck anyway (I have £300 on Trump @34 which I staked last week). 👍💪💰. It makes the run in a bit more exciting anyway. As a UK patriot I firmly hope he wins for you all.

Trump is well aware that We The People are headed for war if this fraud is allowed to stand. He will pull it off. I expect in a way that has little to do with fraud, which is why I mentioned Biden becoming ineligible.

I trust Trump. He's got this. He knows the stakes better than anyone.

I put a bet on with smarkets at 20/1 2 days before the election. They settled on Biden but have told me they'll re-settle if Trump wins.

Don't know if they will or not, remains to be seen
