It’s astonishing how much of an alternate reality it is. While I find the political views ill thought through, reactionary, self defeating and unpleasant and based on a very poor grasp of what’s going on, this is a step beyond. It’s really stark just how removed from reality a high proportion of the US population (and a small slice of nut job gamblers here) are, as evidenced by a pig headed refusal to believe in things that have obviously happened.

What's worse, they then bet on it!

but even if you think the election was completely **** seriously the chances the courts are gonna get involved to overturn it are infinitely small and he needs 3 or 4 states reversed not just 1

I can well believe 3% of punters think Trump is going to win

I can see Eamonn getting sacked soon.

Well, my Christmas betting will suffer liquidity issues if he's right, so I'm trying to get clarification.

I think that with the way their recent statement was written, and with SCOTUS rejecting the Texas case before the 14th, I think they will settle shortly after electors meet on the 14th, assuming nothing strange happens on that date.

If they sacked help desk staff for talking rubbish, there'd be no one left.

Judging by how difficult it is to get someone, I think it's happened. I'd love to see
what BF Towers is like inside.

Our traders = two blokes, careworn and cynical saying 'feck off' to everyone.

Support = two twenty somethings masquerading under 50 different names saying 'feck off' to everyone.

Tech = two bitter old programmers who think javascript is just a fashion and can't wait to go back to COBOL,
who tell everyone to 'feck off'.

Marketing = two miserable gits that Paddy Power were going to sack. Guess what they say to everyone?

HR = don't be fecking silly, HR?

Without £50m sitting at 1.01 and 1.02 it would be over. It takes a while to bite away at
that size of bet. I know that I am stating the obvious, but you can see what I'm saying.

This market isn't X-matched by BF, is it?

Prices all seem to be contracting with a resolution possibly being tomorrow. Biden now 1.02/1.03.

just as lfc explained it would

even more amazing then that the consensus on here is now in line with what he wrote 3 weeks ago

Don't be absurd Charlton - the consensus is that betfair are not abiding by their rules. Obviously when they have ignored their rules and given a new date when they expect the market to be settled, the consensus expects them to do that. But it is notable that despite that you can still back against Biden.

This thread was referenced a bit earlier but worth reading the full thing. Every poster is Timber. Insane idiots and Betfair has let these people do their conkers.

Lol

Rhys Jones on that thread is funny

His profile starts...


You may find yourself in a position where
you need to sell your house quickly.     



Others don't know difference between back and lay


It's typical of other threads I came across


Heaven help betfair if somebody digs into letting this
happen.... You would have thought the money saving expert
first goalscorer thread would have taught them

Send copies of those threads to the committee
looking into gambling regulation, and these
companies are shown up for what they are.

It shouldn't be this simple to lose money.

You would think chance a fiver, ok. Maybe even £50 if you have money to throw away, ok. However, there is someone on there with £2K on Trump who clearly hasn't even read the Betfair rules

Hard to justify betting against these people

But somebody has to

I strongly suspect timbuctooth lost upwards of £20K going by the bets he posted on that democrat nominee market.
