They called it. I wonder when bets will settle.

The media decides nothing LoL.

The only thing wilder than this election was this topic.

My book is currently offering 1/3 on Trump to concede on the 13th or later/never.

Seems like a lock imo.

I can't see him giving up within 5 days.

Fox just called it for Biden.

hoping for some settlements sooner than later.

This is true. They report what's happening.

The standard on Bovada was for both Fox and CNN to call it, but nothing's been settled yet.

EDIT: This was solely for bets on whether or not the election would be called Nov 6th or 7th.

No, they report what they're told.

I got the impression from my bookie that AP:s indication would be enough for the winner.

Waiting for the payout

bet365 has settled.

 

[Crimp_Keeper]

Bovada, my bookie and BAS still have not settled

 

[rev0lver]

Bovada hasn't settled anything for me either. Only election night calls. Still have state bets outstanding in WI PA GA NC and AZ. kinda surprised NC hasn't been called for Trump yet too btw

i was doing some research on Bush v Gore election count from 2000, and you will never guess who helped Bush win his legal case.... ALL THREE of Trumps SCOTUS appointees.
Its almost as if......

Waiting for the payout too

With Trump not conceding Biden wagers might be tied up on some books for a long time.

I mean at the end of the day you can have your own opinion about it, I just think the conspiracy/fixing/whatever angle is really unlikely. I've worked in data science before in a contentious field of research where I've heard those same accusations, and it didn't represent anything I witnessed personally, otherwise I would've exposed it without hesitation. It'd require a large-scale operation where even one whistleblower would risk the whole system. I don't even think poll-fixing would necessarily help a candidate as I've mentioned before. Overconfidence on Biden would've been a bad thing imo, and as an anti-Trump guy I'm glad the narrative was a lot more cautious this time around.

I think these are fair points, but the counter is the eerie similarity between so many these different pollsters in the same direction, and those that don't have the same type of paymasters don't have this problem. Anyway, I think you would have done well with your bets. I managed to salvage most of my bets, so I won't lose too much.

Keep waiting fellas. The media does not call an election.

Most of the UK bookies seem to have paid out too.
