A Momentous Night

False alarm Ozy, it was just an observation i think. No money changed hands and if there was, i suppose a trade would have been inevitable.

Not my first ever losing bet Ozy , have had many's a one through my punting lifetime since the fifties . Betfair did not exist though until about 2000 A.D. , would that it had .

I backed Clinton at 1.24 . She touched 1.13 in running . Huge turnover on that market , approaching 200 million as I recall .

Why won't they settle the turnout market , I had far more interest in it trading wise  than on the outright market .  Have they not counted every vote by now ?

Lazy voters didnt even vote,is it under 55% turnout ?
Got involved in turnout market ,small loss tbh expected few % higher, Thinking the non voters were put off by choice of two or
Just ignorant lazy yanks

good man kelly no doubt you traded out at lowest price again , sharp mind

Sorry, George, I should have known better than to doubt you... I now see that you cannily predicted the direction the market would move....

According to figures only 56.8 % turnout  , so you wonder why there were all these reports about queues at the polls  , which was the first indication I picked up on before I had any bet on the outcome . Shows you cant believe reportage any more , and the pre election polls were way off the mark generally according to most pundits . Trump got about his expected vote out , Clinton failed to get the women and the blacks to vote for her in enough numbers .  Trump is a minority president when all is said and done , and got fewer votes overall than Clinton.

Still have not settled the turnout market , dont know why , still some prepared to lay 1.03 on the 54-58 % section .  Maybe some know something other than what look like official figures .

Further checking up suggests that my figure of 56.8% is still only a preliminary figure , some states are still finalizing / confirming their votes .  I used to think the States were pretty organised , events recently might refute that .

Still a heck of a low turnout for a country deemed to be an economic giant .Reckon the average American voter takes a fairly narrow view when it comes to voting  , broader/ world issues probably of no interest ( the passport figures bear that out reference the rest of the world interest).

Will Trump have to divest himself of business interest activity  now  , or will that get fudged ?

Obviously the uneducated kind Tony , even the Rag.N' bone man knows you need ID when voting . So Trump would have won by a bigger margin if they'd been allowed vote...

The turnout figure has not been finalised yet and i may still win within the 58-62 % bracket on market here
Anyone know more about when its released? Could do with a result on this,tia

Strange as my bracket drifted to 40 etc and other at 1.03 ,flipflop now...

Maybe Piper would know the situation ,seems to have the inside on those kind of stats Padlock.

Ok thx #Waitinggame
