A gambler living in England makes a $5M bet on Trump

[Natsuu]

~~SNIP~~

Lets wait for the final result. Bring out your beer for this exciting event

Yeah, I do feel involved in this bet with this kind of money they put into. It feels like I would personally lose a lot of money just by thinking of this man's bet. I do not personally care whoever wins between Trump or Biden, But I would like to know as soon as possible whoever would win. Cause I wanna take part of this hype. His bet aside, Whoever bet at the other end must have gotten in the same situation, no matter how big their bet is, they would still feel the intimidation of someone betting this big.

I will look for the result of this election, that is a really huge amount of bet, I wonder how he got that confident to bet $5million for this election, I am hoping that there is no source from anyone about the winner of the election. I can't imagine myself spending a huge amount of money on betting, even though I will have a huge amount of money in the future, I won't take $5million to risk.
Maybe if he will win on that bet, I will follow his betting side.

wow that's really huge bet, right now I was planning to place a bet maybe I could follow this bettors bet it looks like he is confident to place such amount on Trump. hopefully i do the right decision.

That is a good move mate, if you don't have any idea who to bet then you may do copying the bet of a popular person or following a person who bet a huge amount of money.

It is really a huge bet and it looks like he will lose his $5M.  I don't think that it will be a devastating loss for that gambler, but it is really unbelievable. I would never make a bet like this even I become a billionaire. Because there will be no reason for me to bet with even a small amount then.

[pawanjain]

Wow that's really a huge bet but it seems like the odds are not in his favor. But I guess he would be definitely having that risk taking capability to bet such huge amount.
As per the current status the Biden seems to have higher number of Votes. It would be a thrill to see the final results soon.
This bet has made it in the news and has grabbed many people's attention.

People on this world had different financial capability and you cant say that you wont make those big bets if you are that rich enough to do so.
We do have different interests and things that can really entertain us.Majority would say that $5M bet is totally out of this world and thinking up
that he's crazy but we dont know that those amounts is the money that he can afford to lose so its not really in our business on how much
he would spend on said election.For now the counting is still continuing but basing of on the current run then it seems that he's losing it.
I cant imagine the feeling on getting cold when you do see that other bets is winning.

[bitbollo]

impressive bet for sure and I guess he has a very good reason to place so much money in just one bet!
what I am asking is why it become public. since the gambler is anonymous why share it?

I have won some Italian politics gambling in the past. It was easy with discrete odds (up to @2.80)
The winner has been always "Other option" since it's from 3 governments we haven't voted directly the Prime Minister.

[safari88]

i guess the bettor would lose a $5M for voting Trump, looking at the current status of the election we can see that Biden got more votes than Trump. that's really a huge bet though he must be really rich to take risk that $5M bet to Trump.

[ecnalubma]

Thats a hell of a bet he’s probably don’t care if he win or lose that bet, but I’ve never seem such huge amount of political bet before. Crypto gambling platform are not even close to this but who would dare anyway I believe only multi millionaire or billionaire would cast that crazy bet.

[bonjouros]

He should be facing some problem right now as I can see that Joe Biden is in the lead as of this moment base on the latest US election result.

I guess he can afford to loss that amount of money as he risk it in betting for Donald Trump to win though the election is not yet  finish but he is in disadvantage as of this moment and his $5 million dollar bet is in danger to loss.

You would really be having some sweating balls right now since Biden is on the lead.

Right. Even losing the said amount, I think that gambler will soon move on. That gambler won't just insanely bet that crazy amount if he doesn't understand that there's might a chance he will lose it. He accepts that and considers that as a loss already to minimize the pain of losing.

We can't understand his feelings since we don't have the guts to even bet at $1,000 at minimum.

Let's see if there's an update on that gambler if ever his bet will lose, which is likely now to happen.

If he can throw such amount for election result no doubts he have  lots of money. It's almost over as Biden is really close being declared as the new

leader, maybe that gambler already knows the possible outcome and accept it.  Gambler like him will move forward knowing that luck may not be

on he's side on this one.

Politics always become a very interesting sector for gambling. there will be big parties that are involved in that gambling, betting for higher and higher numbers for their favorite candidate's winning.
But, 5M is very high, isn't it? or, it is something that is normal for the rich man? 

And about the election, we can really enjoy this not as the politics bit for the gambling, drama, and also other condition related to this. And after the election, we can also see how it will give impact the crypto world (this is most important  )

And actually, I personally cannot judge if he loses his betting, what will happen to him. Probably he is ready for it and not even mind about it. Or probably he is totally sure that his candidate will win absolutely. Let's see

Looking to the possible result of this election, I'm the one that's nervous for him. Watching people to gamble with such amounts sure is an entertaining thing. I can't do such but if they can do it, for sure, they are aware of what they do. $1m, $5m and maybe with another event, we see rich people betting more than that. Just a few more counts if not, we'll see it up to the courts for the recount. We can understand a gambler's feeling and this could also be the bet of his life.

and based from the article, he wen all-in. so i dont know what exactly they mean about that. "all-in" of his funds or what? because if he bet all his savings, dont think he will be sleeping in the next few days. but wishing that he will win in some miraculously circumstances.

if he will lose his entire life savings. guess, what his biggest lesson in life here!

Ahh man, I cannot imagine what would happen if he lost this bet. To be honest, I am just amazed on how he managed to build and create this kind of bet especially that the odds are relatively against him. Well if he managed to create a $5 million dollar bet, he definitely has a rich lifestyle and such money affects him relatively low.

I would not call him crazy but he is on the borderline of being crazy. I mean, betting $5 million dollars for a political election bet. He could have divided his bet in huge amounts! Regardless of the results of the election, I just wish the best for him.

[sunsilk]

OMG, this is not a huge amount, this political massive bet should be on the top 3 losers list.

I guess you misplaced "not" as it's a really huge amount of bet. And the article says that this is the biggest bet for politics ever been recorded. There could be some underground or any sort of rich people's club that are gambling like this but it's for the record the biggest.

The election hasn't ended yet, the 270 votes haven't met by Biden but as we see, the chance of winning the bet is at the lowest.

Biden is not announced as the winner of the election, but he has tweeted on social media about the odds of winning against Trump. Maybe it is time to call Biden a Mr. President, it is very sad to watch crazy gamblers in all sections of this industry.

He hasn't claimed it but he's eager to say because he's leading.

[MCobian]

I'm sure that british gamblers who are willing to bet that big on Trump's victory right now are definitely worried. Because based on
the information I got, Joe Biden is still ahead of Donald Trump in the meantime. If the final result doesn't change then the gamblers
actually lose $ 5M. I also bet on the election for the president of America, I bet on Joe Biden's win, even though my bet is not as big
as the British gamblers. But if I win I should be grateful, I also can't wait for the final results of the US President Election.

[harizen]

Maybe that person is already used to staking a decent amount like that, not just in presidential elections but on the usual gambling (maybe even a hardcore casino player too). After all, if he nailed and win it, a big winning of $15,000,000 is waiting and waving to him.

Crazy bet to others but we can just say this because we can't afford to bet that amount. In a case of loss, there will be frustration but I think that gambler can handle the after effect.

As of the current unofficial tally, Biden was in lead. Surely, that gambler is so busy monitoring the tally since it commence.

The more he monitors the more he will feel the pressure as Biden is currently on the lead, I hope he is okay after the winner is proclaim.

If I'm in his position, I would just relax and wait for the result because I can't take the pressure seeing my bet is going to shrink soon.
