Um no. If people were good at gambling Vegas wouldn't exist.


You can’t go to Vegas to bet on the election. That’s why they have the betting sites. Kalshi is the only betting site in the world where you can actually bet on the Presidential election. And that site has Trump at 58%.

Lots of people like being separated from their money. Buzz is fun.

People are good at gambling...that is why Vegas/casinos have an edge. It is intended that way by the people taking the rubes' money. 

The goal of prop wagering is to have close to even money coming in on each side with the house edge of the competing odds being how they make money. It is why illegal bookies don't want a bunch of money on one side of a bet and will lay it off on other bookies 🙂

See my above post. That is not their actual odds of him winning but odds set up to bring in money on a needed side. Being a wagering house the posted odds are not their internal odds.

You can bet on the Presidential election and other US election events at BCLC.

This is a study that shows they aren't catching and successfully prosecuting anyone who is committing fraud. I already know this. I'm asking for a study that shows fraud is not possible. If it's possible to commit fraud and get away with it, it is happening.

 

Anything is possible...this study shows it isn't happening....

At this point I don't care.  The US is done for.  Period.  There's too many stupid people and money in power.  The only thing sadder is the stupid people that support them and how little money they have while doing it.

 

A 3 point spread r a 5 point gap.  Doesn't matter.  Trump wins, it's a mess.  Harris wins, they riot because there's no way she could have without cheating.  This is the new US reality.

 

I have spoken since 2015 about the US cvil war and how fun it will be to watch in 4k and every day that ends draws us closer to that happening on PPV

US is doomed. It has been acting like a dying empire for awhile now. Onky down side is it will take the rest of western democracy with it.

I’m old enough to remember when those same polls told me that Hillary Clinton had a 97% of winning the 2016 election. Those same polls also had Biden 11 points ahead of Trump in 2020. Kamala is losing steam. Her numbers are going down not up. 

Says the Republicans.

Trump winning over cute Hillary just shows how stupid Merica can be. 
This time the Merica voters will elect the right person. HARRIS stomps fatass.

The Al Smith dinner. Kamala didn’t show up. Trump with a 28 minute roast of Kamala and the Democratic Party…

 

The last Democrat not to show up to the dinner was Walter Mondale. Things didn’t go well for Walter. He lost 49 states to Ronald Reagan. 

 

 

I'll take things Trump can absolutely not claim for $500 Alex.

 

Smith was the first Catholic to be nominated for the presidency by a major party. He got into government to help immigrants and the poor after growing up in an immigrant neighborhood in Manhattan, New York. He did not make it through high because his father died, and he did not have the resources. He had to work to provide for his family and developed a close bond with immigrants in New York.

You would have thought that the Al Smith dinner would have been the perfect event for Kamala to go after Drumpf with a roast of her own.  Even Hillary did it.  She missed a golden opportunity.  Pretty weird to miss the event…

Kamala is reminding me of Regan. I can see her winning 49 states. She’s incredible. That and the other choice is a fat ass penis puss.

If something is proven to have not happened or is "unproven" but someone states unequivocally it happens or happened then is it not in fact a false claim?

 

Example:  They are eating pets in Springfield.  Springfield police mayor council and individual who made the original claim:  it didn't happen isn't happening and has not happened.  Therefore it is not unproven it is false.  

 

So my question here is shouldn't it be on the person (potential VP VANCE) to actually not make "unproven claims" that are in fact false, to which he admitted it was not just false but that he would continue making "unproven claims" to piss people off and get their attention.

 

Which of these standards should be held more accountable?


A potential VP who admits to lying about racially charged incidents in order to drum up support or attention

or

A media publication that used the word false as opposed to "unproven claim"

 

Which is mroe egregious to you?

The newspaper because this lie is a deliberate standard procedure for them. There were numerous whistleblowers on the pets who backed down under intimidation and who can blame them. Trump/Vance should have waited for a verified report before repeating the claim.
