9/4 now looking very good on Biden. I got 15/8.

Trump is a Gemini so perhaps some of his personality traits should be given a bit more leeway?

Sorry I don’t follow at all? Are you suggesting that star signs excuse behaviour? That’s really weird.

I am still hanging on to the hope of a Biden Victory.

However when you see the numbers of American Voters who must have went out and Voted for Trump. They sort of deserve all they get if he gets back in.

I sort of baulk at myself for hating an individual so much in Trump.

Someone needs to save the Americans from themselves. I feel sorry for them that they can't even recognise the dangers of their actions.

It's important that Biden remains patient, dignified and presidential during these tense final hours.

Trump whining like a little bitch comes across as desperate, and claiming the vote is rigged - on his own watch - is not how it should be in " The Land Of The Free"

What star sign are you? Maybe you are typically skeptical?

I don't know if the BBC has a major lag or the Guardian are going too early but they've not been close at any point in the last 4 hours

You're right on this although, to add, I started watching about 5, so it's been c5.5 hours now.

And now down to 1.86. The markets are all over the place.

It’s just based on what people are betting. No one has a clue.

What happens if they get 269 electoral college votes each?

They both move into the White House and have wife swapping parties every weekend.

I’m not really sure why anyone expected a landslide.

Because yet again the majority allow themselves to be swayed by the usual suspect media channels.

Indeed it is.

Biden's winning this NSC poll. I want the voting to stop....

Take it to the mods.

If that doesn't work then take it to the supreme Bozza.

[MENTION=30242]spence[/MENTION] said it was going to be a landslide for Trump.

What else were we supposed to think?

The way the odds are swinging you could potentially bet both and not fail to come out winning if you wait for the right odds

A lot of people have made a lot of money the way this has fluctuated over night.

You sound like a Virgo

Think you will find that the majority on here, and in the mainstream media, were pretty clear that while Biden would win the popular vote easily, it was going to be very close in swing states. And that Trump would initially look to be ahead in many of those states, with Biden gaining ground towards the end. Which is how it is playing out so far.

Most did think Biden would win, but I can only remember one or two predicting a 'landslide'. And one of those was [MENTION=30242]spence[/MENTION].

Almost to cover the loan cost of an election campaign? but not enough to cover the cost of the shit storm and tax bill if rumbled after losing?

Trump 2.18 Biden 1.84 now on Befair. The Wisconsin count having a big impact on the betting.

That can only happen now if Biden wins Georgia and NC and Trump wins the mid-west states. That's a very unlikely scenario

EDIT. No, it can also happen if Biden wins Nevada, Wisconsin and North Carolina and nothing else. But it's still unlikely as NC is almost certain to go to Trump

This is the scenario played out with great hilarity in Veep. She'd been a Veep all that time, then her one shot at becoming POTUS, and her Veep running mate ends up being president.
