    I bet Dems with 3 different books, and not one has graded the election bets as of yet. Any idea what has to happen for them to see the election as final? I contacted betonline, however they were not much help as usual.

    Two things normally  - although now 3 things.

    1/  The state "electors" have to make their call on Dec 14 I believe.

    Believe it or not, in some states, their electors are NOT bound to vote in December on the same candidate their state voted for by majority.  The overwhelming majority almost always do.  If their state picked Biden then on Dec 14, that state's electors will make it official that in for example Michigan's case, their electors are sending 16 electoral votes for Joe Biden....and so on. But there is always a possibility of a rogue state deliberately defying the will of their own constituents.

     

    2/   Technically even that is not really official until Congress certifies it all on January 6 -- even though it's inevitable.

     

    3/  In 2020, depending on the bet of course, legal challenges by the a$$ho-in-chief, could delay things.

    As a result of uncertainlty the books are within their rights, and I agree, to temporarily hold everything until it's all concluded and official.

     

    I made several very, VERY heavy bets on the Dems to win the WH.  I believed Biden would win it since BEFORE the pandemic hit and was just waiting until the final week to lay my bets for fear of possible "October Surprises" in trump's favor, like happened in 2016. Most of my bets were in the -200 range.  But I bet on the DEMS - not Joe - because in this day and climate of division and right-wing-vitriol, there always looms the possibility of some gun-toting discontent on the right taking out Joe from some rooftop prior to inauguration.

     Thanks Fubah, great explanation! I probably wouldn't have put as much of my bankroll into Biden if I had know, sheesh.

    Pinny wrote back and said it was due to Trump's lawsuits. I'm sure it not going to drag on that long, just until there is no possible way the decision could be reversed, i guess.

    You are looking st 2 months if not more with a possibility of Trump remaining in office through 2024.

    Trump is not going away quietly because the media says so.

    The long, tough uphill fight for America starts tomorrow.

    Did you watch the speeches given by Harris and Biden last night?

    That is why it will be better for you if your money is tied up a little longer than you would like.
