You and the markets, mate :lol:

I have bought GBPUSD at 1.286 on Sunday, with view of Biden winning and positive brexit.

Lets just say I'm studying and listening to it more then the Muppets on here
 
Sitting here watching betfair, not even looking at the coverage. This is mad. Trump jumping from around 1.7 to 2.0 every few seconds, Biden 2.0 to 2.3.

Seen some people doing betfair scalping in the past where they take advantage of short-term odds changes ahead of horse races etc. and they lock in a profit whoever wins. With the way this is fluctuating there must be a lot of opportunity for that.

You're not allowed mention Betfair here.
 
Trump is going to win by a few tens of thousands of votes again.
 
Social media has tilted the world in favour of right wing politics. As long as Zuckerberg and Dorsey let the Neo Nazis, Conspiracy nuts and Qanon run amok on their platforms every major democracy will keep voting right.
I think this is a major problem.

Maybe also why the polls are recently so inaccurate, voters who don't engage with traditional politics, news outlets, polling companies etc. Are being influenced digitally to come out and vote by clever digital marketing. This digital marketing is rarely factual, but often effective.
 
I can’t work out if CNN is slow, or my stream is behind. You were all talking about Biden leading in WI about 6 minutes before CNN reported it.
The stream on their website is also a fair few minutes behind the live TV coverage (at least here in Belgium).

If Green Bay is usually red, this will go down to the wire in WI.
 
Milwaukee is at 100%. Unless it is majority of mail vote remaining, can't see Biden holding his narrow lead.
CNN just said that Brown County has 32k absentee votes still to count. So far 95k votes have been counted there. Now if that is Green Bay, which went for Hillary last time, he might even increase his lead.
 
I wish Transfer deadline day was this exciting, I'd like to ship in Jim White as he'll be better than the Hobbit trying to use that screen at least
 
The odds have wildly flung all over the show as things have been reported and yet still people will think they actually mean anything.

For me at least it's the most accurate portrayal of the current state of play

its bound to fluctuate a lot in in a tight race as the information trickles through and momentum swings back and for
 
Fecking shouting guy on CNN has woken everyone up.

Wish we'd him earlier instead of John king
 
Betting Markets are the equivalent of Franzisko Romano. They just follow what is happening, yet people are convinced that they know something more.
 
Donald would be proud of you.

Great.

Trump is a United States problem, not a problem for the rest of the world. The United States has always been a complete shitfest when it comes to meddling in international affairs, spying, starting wars, throwing governments, pretending that this current administration is one of the worst ever is bizarre.

Whats the latest? Evens now?

Biden is winning this now.. Unless something really goes wrong.
Should've had it wrapped up by now.. but still favorite.

All depends on how informed the betting population is. In the case of an election, chances are not very.
 
Time to chill and wait for the counts to be done over the next day or so.

Going to be very close, that is the only thing that is certain for the moment.
 
I yearn for the day when right wingers can debate an issue without resorting to whataboutism.
As if these supposedly "racist remarks" Biden made decades ago is equivalent to dismantling a law that protects the rights of LGBTQ folks.
Go to a Trump rally, a conservative American forum or any of the Pro Trump political commentators on Youtube and ask the members in the comments for their views on homosexuality.
I yearn for the day when a left winger can debate without calling the contender a right winger.
Again, you are implying that every Trump voter is homophobic. I’m saying that,s not true.
Go to google, write “gays for trump” and tell me if they are homophobic
 
I fell asleep and had a dream that I beat trump in the presidential race. Then I jolted up when I heard my laptop cnn stream say Biden took the WI lead :lol:

Whats the summary on PA?

What? Are you saying that the odds change according to how much money is bet on the different options?

That can't be true as that would make them reactive and useless in predicting future outcomes. ;)

No they're just selfish people who have found a niche they can make money/get exposure from.

They are just acting to news and making necessary adjustments. The fact that Trump went from twenties to seventies, to now back to even odds tell me that they do not know anything more than the polls.

Indeed, if you're taking a quick look and don't want to understand the detail they're a decent indicator thats about it

In that case you shouldn't be talking about things you don't have any in-depth knowledge about.
