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

[TimeTeller]

Poor guy, that bet will probably hunt his days and nights! If the game was rigged it will hunt him even more: losing $5M due to some fraud must be so painful. But if he can bet so much money on a single bet he must have way more than that.

For sure his trembling out of his pants now since imagine how big the losses he got for the result nearly ending up. And for sure he's started to cry for believing that he can earn millions for believing that trump will win. But it's still a good try for him since imagine also if he win for sure a party will go on but sadly that's not gonna happen today.

I hope it does not hunt him, what if he is so rich like Floyd Mayweather who can put millions in his bet and then just forget it as he can make easy money. We never know what the financial capacity of each bettors but a better risking this huge money, we know he has the capacity.

Such huge amount wasted for nothing.
But it is his money, and he bet for his personal satisfaction.
If he can afford to spend that amount, then more than likely he can very well afford such kind of lifestyle.
For a lot of us here, it will take so many years for us to earn that amount.

[Betwrong]

That'sa huge bet,

Who would have thought that there is someone who will wager a huge amount like that. Trump is not in a good position, and some says that this election is rigged so maybe that gambler will probably saying his goodbye on the money he just bet for Trump.

Based from live US election results, Biden is leading. 264 vs. 214 as we speak. This gambler will have a long day today waiting for the final tally. Biden is likely to be the new US Pres, but let's wait for the final count. That's a huge amount, hope he has other stash to live by.

Surely he has. No doubt about that. I bet $5 million is less than 10% of all his savings, given that he's a former banker.

If Trump isn't winning, I'm going to lose my $8, which I bet on him, in total, on 2 different platforms, and some people from this forum are going to win their bets. But I'm pretty sure this guy will still be heavy loaded, even after losing $5 million, compared to most of us here.

For sure He is because there is no person unless he is out of Mind to bet 5 million dollars when he cannot afford losing it?

or maybe this person is a Billionaire thats why only us here who can't move on with the losses while he as the bettor is just fine and drinking His expensive Wine now while waiting for the final result?
but still 5 million is 5 million lol.

That's why we called it a gambling because we don't know the result, we are just predicting and then we put our bet based on our prediction.

What would people think now if Trump is winning the election? Could be the opposite which is praising the bettor for his big winning, right?

For sure he is willing to gambler his $5 million, for all we we know, this is not the first time he has gamble huge amount of money in sports or US elections. Or maybe, he had won betting on Trump in 2016. I guess he will take this loss in stride, and could go back betting again on any other sports to at least recoup some of the money he lost on Trump in this election.

[Mauser]

Just wow, that's insane. Why would someone bet auch an amount on 1 bet alone? This is the perfect example in my opinion why it would be better to spread large bets across different bets to decrease risk. Imagine that guy had done 5 times a 1 million bet. His chances would have been much higher to not lose it all. Let's hope he has a nice salary and can atleast get tax credits for his loss.

We don't know what is his capabilities but the fact is he lose millions for a single bet for sure he will sleepless for so many days. And provably he won for the past election when betting trump but sadly these time he's luck didn't and now he ends up crying with trump with this losses.

[CryptocurencyKing]

That stake is so huge! $5M on a political bet well, not just any states political bet but, American politics, theost debated and watched out for. It's not surprising people of the world are making bets on the politics of the world power country. It's just amazing how much people have to spare because, before you can make such bets, your sure to be a billionaire.
That must be president Trump's biggest fan and when he gets the news that such a bet was placed on him to win, his going to be socked as to how someone could believe so much in his political ambition and should he win finally, that bettor could be recognized!

Before we go further, this is from the OP https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/british-gambler-bets-5-million-on-trump-in-biggest-ever-political-wager

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.

This would be remembered as it's the biggest bet in political gambling and the gambler was a former banker, so we can't say he does not think, for sure he made a good analysis before he came up with the decision to bet on Trump, why I'd say that? because he is a banker.

[plvbob0070]

I guess Trump's confidence is not enough because Biden is leading and it looks like Trump will likely lose this election since Biden only needs 6 electoral votes. I wonder what this gambler is feeling right now while monitoring the live results? Was he able to fall asleep knowing that he'll likely lose that $5M bet? Although this guy is probably rich af to bet such a huge amount of money, it's still a big loss.

The US electorate can already declare the winner, the gap is just to wide, I read on my social media feeds Facebook that Trump will go to the Supreme court or make a protest, very interesting the gap is to wide to contest the results, he should concede, he's just fooling himself if he think that still can win the election, as for the guy who bet $5 million in favor of Trump I hope he is ok and he is aware that gamblers should gamble what they can afford to lose.

Well, he still can't accept the reality that Biden is leading and that he'll probably lose. You can see on Trump's recent tweets that he thinks there's election fraud. However, Twitter is censoring some of his tweets saying that the contents might be disputed and misleading probably because of his claim with no basis. But let's see, what will be his action after this.

The one who made this huge bet probably spend his day preparing and accepting his $5M loss.

[Eternad]

As of now, votes in 41 states out of 50 states has be counted, and Biden is still leading. Out of 270 points needed to win, Biden at 224 while Trump at 213. The election has seemed unpredicted right from the start, and who to win is not yet known. But, with the look of things, likely Biden could win but still unknown for now.

Sincerely, nothing is 'likely' here becasue Biden is almost there to be declare winner in the ongoing US election. The high stake from England just remind me that, addiction is real for some gamblers, how could you stake such high odds for just a President that doesn't care or care-less for his citizens, what about black lives matters?. The staker of this bet should have known better.

The votes were too close but gamblers should accept the result as what voters  will need to do, There are many factors that affect the voting and Bidwen closed be announced as the new president , the bet price risked were too high but think of it ever reciprocal happens, we really experience lose in gambling especially in betiing.

Yeah maybe he has more than this thats why He can just risk and lose that $5 million.
The highest record in gambling history for a single Bet and a very controversial as well because it looks like a total failure now as Biden is closer to take the position.

But if trump wins but now that Trump seems to be living the whitehouse now?hope that being fanatic will bring him another fortune in Biden's administration.

[STT]

I was just thinking about how a smart bet would be Trump to lose placed about 3 years ago, might have been good odds but to place Trump now and while knowing how the layers of various votes could largely alter initial perceptions and result counts even does not seem best.    Maybe it was a tax write off in some way, not sure thats possible or maybe he is just seriously jumping the gun on his bets.   Cant figure out how this was a clever strategy to bet, just seem impulsive and a mistake and Im not just saying that because now we know better.    
   If Trump won Arizona or a significant marginal state then the bet could have made sense, it would have been a large indicator in the early stages but I saw no sign of that and didnt think Trump had this.   This dude was misguided unfortunately.

[Becky666]

Trump is very confident that he is going to win I just saw on my Facebook feeds that he sounds like he is winning when in fact the stats says otherwise he is being trailed by 13 to 14 states this is not a small gap and if this continues with 97 States to go we will see a new US President on Biden, I hope Trump can take the lost, he is over confident.

There's nothing wrong for anyone to be over confidence in this case of US Presidential election but, for a gambler to stake $5M for a bet on Trump to win amazes me. Sometimes i wonder if these guys are real or just fake, becasue the effect of the pandemic is still be felt around the globe and someone just made a bet on what might not be successful. Come-on, let wake up and learn financial risk management.

[mu_enrico]

Well, Biden vs Trump was tight, and he was leading before the counting "time out."
With all the huge rallies and excitement, I think he will win as well. But gambling is gambling. Someday you lose, someday you win.
If I had 100x net worth ($500M), I'd probably did the same thing.

People with HUGE bankrolls have different perspective than small time casual gamblers. I suppose he didn't bet that blindly. Most US Presidents are re-elected for a second term so the odds for Trump winning is also there. How would you spread your bet when there are only two candidates to choose from and there can only be one winner?

Actually both sides are declaring their own victory now lol.
Biden can still win and so do with trump he can still win despite high odds on trump currently @4.5
As we can see yesterday trump odds was as low as @1.6 and things changed quickly , it shows how this election are so unpredictable.
264 electoral for biden , 7 left and biden up for the us throne. Crazy 5 million dollar bet and it is sad to see the fact that it is almost over and the bet will settled as lost, heavy and tough lost.

I'm sure he has a good job to make a $ 5 million bet...
By now a quick count has won Biden, and I wonder how he feels when he finds out that his money has almost flown.

He is rich. So i guess he does not feel anything. To rich people, gambling is sort of entertainment, unless you make money daily with this game of luck.

Up to now, there is no clear result yet. It has been more than 2 days already and I does not expect this outcome. So fascinating about what is going currently. Everything is stil obscured even though Biden has only 6 votes left. Some sources (such as cnn) has claimed that the situation in Arizona have not finished yet and there is still a chance for trump in this state. Votes are being counted right now. No precise prediction can be made here. And this bettor still has a chance to win more than $11M

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

[ChiBitCTy]

I know quite a few people who lost money last election as here in the United States many thought that Donald Trump had absolutely no shot back in 2016.  I myself put a few bucks on Hilary, but my confidence was certainly sky high. This is one heck of a gambling loss here lol.
