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

[slapper]

This has been considered the biggest political bet ever.

A British gambler has reportedly staked $5 million on President Trump winning Tuesday’s election — a wager believed to be the largest ever political bet.

The former banker used private bookmakers registered on the Caribbean island Curacao for the bet at odds of 37/20 — meaning he could get a $15 million payout, sources told The Sun.

In a few more hours, we will be announced the results of the presidential race. First, there was a $1M bet, now, $5M has been made. Politics aside, I love to see how people enjoy their happiness with gambling. No matter what the aspect is, they can always make an entertaining bet. Do our cryptocurrency gambling sites have a big wager like this?

With that huge bet size. I'm sure he has a good source on election stats on America. The voting system of USA is unique and quite predictable because the vote is per state electoral vote and not by individual vote count.

This gambling in politics is only available on USA election so I wonder if this kind of gambling will be adopted by different country especially in the 3rd world country since politics can be manipulate.

Well, he's likely to win based on the current results but is he even allowed to bet from England? If I am not mistaken, all casinos registered in Curacao prohibits gamblers from that region. He'll probably claim it if he wins though as the licensing body wouldn't care either way.

He should check FTX too if he still has extra funds

That's a huge bet for Trump i'm not quite sure where to look at the live presidential score but it looks like Biden allocated more votes than Trump as the moment, correct me if i'm wrong. Weill this is really risky in my opinion.

I'd love to check if there's a site giving us live tally of the votes, I'm also looking for it but could not find it. However, about the bet, I guess it's normal to see bettors in favor of trump as he is the president now and he won the last election with an odds very high that some gamblers really made a big profit.

odds on in 2016 is +475 (https://www.oddsshark.com/entertainment/us-presidential-odds-2016-futures)

About the election now, there's a lot of money expected to get in as a bet.

Not really familiar with election betting it looks like the odds are changes dramatically well I think this might happen today. Good luck to the bettor who placed $5M to Trump.

[bunglor]

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.

[Genemind]

That is a huge amount of bet, I would be shaking till the election is over. The last time I saw the tally Biden was on the lead, it seems that the bettor is a huge supporter of Trump, I can't wait to see whoever becomes the next president of U.S. Good luck to huge election bettors out there.

There must be some sort of underground gamblers who want to make a bet on third world countries' political situations. Those casinos only contain rich people or high class, maybe. Moreover, I have never seen any third world countries accepting gambling as a form of entertainment. They scare that people can become addicted to gambling which makes the whole economic system goes down. And if some casinos lists a country election on the pool, I guess the government will not be pleased at all

[acroman08]

it's unnerving even though I am not the one who has to lose that amount of money. and seeing that Biden is on the lead my anxiety is rising(not that I am against or support him)

new york times has a live tally of votes on their website and bidden is currently on the lead by 1.5M+ votes.

here's a link to their website https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/11/03/us/elections/results-president.html

off-topic: I never knew that Alaska was part of USA. huh.

[Wexnident]

Ooh boy that's a big amount. I wonder if he just went all in or is that an amount he can afford to lose. Though I really doubt people could actually just simply afford to lose $5m for nothing, most likely gonna hurt his wallet a bit if he was really rich, only a bit, but nonetheless damage still. I just hope they could provide a reaction towards the person who made the bet, whether online or offline, just to see what he felt when the election is over. Winning or losing, it's a guaranteed explosion of emotions, which really makes seeing these huge bets happening interesting.

[Karartma1]

The player must be in tremendous trepidation right now! Donald Trump won a series of key battlegrounds including Florida, Ohio and Iowa while Biden expressed confidence he would ultimately prevail across key Northern states and Arizona.
On the NYT I see Biden is ahead: Biden Trump 227-213

[swogerino]

That is an enormous amount of bet for someone who by all polls is behind in this electoral race.This gambler must be relying on Russians helping Trump once again but unfortunately for him all the help is blocked now from state structures.I hope he wins as he has put 5 million dollars on Trump but chances are low from what I am seeing in the news.

[peter0425]

Looks like He is going to lose that $5 million bets because as of now it is Biden that making way up though it is too early to predict.

people like Him must have connection in Political world to be allocating that huge Bet in a single time as election for presidential.

This is the most awaited part of gambling world now,If he is going to take home the win or letting that 5 million out of his pocket.

[Janation]

That is a huge amount.

Never thought that people are actually betting on this. I don't know how big some people bet on some online casinos using their cryptocurrencies and the biggest I knew is someone betting number of arcanas in some Dota 2 betting site.

Yep, but it would be too comfortable if the election said will become manipulated. No one will risk that huge amount even you are a millionaire. Unless you don't satisfy with your money. Trump is an influential person and he can wipe out his opponents in election. However, it would be also a 50/50 chance since there are citizens who don't like his governance.

why do you think that Biden is going to win, at the moment, it is a tight race, and Trump is closer to a win, than Biden
yeah, Biden leads at the moment, with more electoral votes already won, but all the undecided states are on Trump side at the moment, except for Nevada, and even quote on Trump, where possible still to bet, is going down, so maybe he can cash-out with a win right now

oh i didnt knew that other country have a different form of voting in politics but what exactly per state voting mean ? individuals will still vote and it will be gathered and submitted on the main counter ? i dont think this can affect the predictability of the voting but unless if the candidates are really solid or well known enough for thier kind of works . with the amount that he used in betting , he looks so confident and you could be right that he has a guide .

This gambling in politics is only available on USA election so I wonder if this kind of gambling will be adopted by different country especially in the 3rd world country since politics can be manipulate.

oh it is ? it could be because i often see u.s election only and not by other country but i didnt knew that theres really no politic gambling catered on other countries . they didnt made one because it will be hard to bet if that happen .

Thanks for the link.

Way back to the actual topic I think the bettor is looking for a slide win even though he knew the odds isn't favor on Trump and this time Biden still on the lead. Well, it's not that I am the one to loss here but I think that's a risky bet but if Trump won since it haven't decided yet that will be huge win on his/her side.

Might be but I think it's too early to say since there are states that are still reporting the votes and we might not know who is the one leading in it. The lead isn't that huge to be honest.

[abhiseshakana]

It's likely he saw the same pattern as the 2016 presidential election, so he decided to bet on Trump (or maybe he was just a true Trump supporter). The wager was enormous, but if Trump comes out as the winner, then this person will get 15M.

The closer to the election day, more and more people are betting on Trump and supporting Trump, even though the pattern is the same as the 2016 election but it does not mean it will produce the same results.
