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

[john_nautica]

Too bad he choose the wrong one. However I don't think it will bother him no one will place $5M on a single bet for sure this person is really rich that he can manage to lose that $5M easily.

I think it would no matter how rich you are after losing a bet like that it would surely affect you.
Maybe not the money but your dignify or personality specially if there are people who knew that you lost that much in a single bet.

Of course it will affect him $5 million is $5 million unless he is filthy rich or a multi millionaire where he can make a million in a matter of week, the result could go the other way around because the fight is to close and Trump is 100% confident that he will win, maybe that's what this gambler saw that is why he bet on Trump, let's see if he will make a statement on his loss, Trump do not want to accept the loss.

The vote counting process in Uncle Sam's country is still ongoing, but it is not certain who will win Donald Trump or Joe Biden who will officially win this competition.
Most likely that person bet $ 5 million on Trump because he is a millionaire because that is not a small amount to bet, and most likely idolizes him and believes his idol will win and we will see the end of a legitimate tally of who will win.

As the article says, they have depended on the past election so he have thought that it could be the same win of Trump just like the past election.

Just like the usual gambling, he used the previous election as his reference. He actually even sees that Trump has the edge so he bet on it without a doubt.

This type of gambler, that can afford to lose such amount is already a professional on this industry. While counting of votes slow down, I think he is now preparing for his possible loss. There's a big pain but this gambler will not bet a big amount without a stable and big business as his source of income.

Is this confirmed? What I mean is that according to the article the person that made the bet was a former banker so in theory he could have a lot of money to burn on the bet, however the article mentions that he want all-in, is this just an expression or did he actually put all his savings on this bet? Because if he went all-in then there are very high chances that he is going to lose all what he worked so hard just to lose it all in a single bet.

[Porfirii]

Poor man, it seems that he has lost those $5M 

Oh, wait, if he can afford to gamble this amount, he won't be very poor... former banker you said? 

I'm not a big fan of bankers but, hey! I don't want the pain for anybody, so I hope the "all-in" was just an expression. Anyway, you can still be happy being poor. Oh, I forgot again he was a former banker... then it will be harder for him.

[DoublerHunter]

^ Definitely right, That's an unbelievable amount because that amount would let me enjoy my entire life even the grandchildren of my kids.
That result will come out soon and let's see who would get their guns out of their pockets. However, is it really regulated or legal to place that huge amount of bet in politics? Like what, taxes might wave their hands with a good smile. Nevertheless, we should learn not to risk a big amount on betting, this is familiar with sports betting and we also consider this as a lesson to learn.

I've heard last time that Trump will gonna sued biden, am I right? so I think yes, biden will win this year presidency, trump will not be like that if the knew he can win this time, that gambler make 5M on losing side. he should know the current review of Americans first before Making that, maybe he is also a businessman and if trump will be elected again, it is very beneficial to him and his businesses that's why he has a high hopes to trump. Maybe yes he has some inside connections as well but trump will lose to biden now.

Donald Trump is now a laughing stock on talk shows, it seems Donald Trump is overconfident that the team is not prepared to leave the White House and talking nonsense, Biden will eventually become the winner, and whether Trump likes it or not he should bid the White House, I hope the guy can also say goodbye with no hard feeling to his $5 million


Losing Isn’t Easy, Especially for Donald Trump

President Donald Trump files lawsuits and undermines the election claiming every kind of fraud imaginable.

That's what he does all the time when the odds don't work in his favor. The guy is as predictablw as his election results. That being said, glad that he's losing but not so happy that Biden's winning. It's like you're being forced to choose between crap and piss. And you're stuck with choosing who's much better than the two.

Considering that the person can afford to place that bet, He's not just throwing it but he gambled to seek for some luck who knows
there's turns of events.

The counting still ongoing even the chance is too slim, placing yourself to his shoe what would be your expectation?
going to concede and accept that gamble is a gamble.

Nothing is for sure, it's a risk that you from the start already accepts that there are two possible
results, win and lose nothing else.

[kayvie]

I guess that gambler is regretting his decision betting on Trump. Or maybe it is either he doesn't care since he can take the risk of betting that huge amount of money or he is really depressed right now that Trump is not on the lead. But if he can bet this kind of amount, then he is ready for the risk and he just don't care if he losses.

[jostorres]

But this election is pretty much over, Biden is currently in the lead in Georgia. He only needs one more state in it's done.

RIP 5 Million.

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. Yes, Biden has more chances to win the election, but it's not settled yet.

I am not an expert or familiar with American politics but seeing that Biden is also in the lead on most of the remaining state with 90%+ expected counted votes on the link you shared I doubt trump has any more chance of winning the presidency.

I believe he already won as I googled and saw he gained 290 electoral votes and Trump was stuck on 214 but I saw a lot of guys were complaining their bets are not settled yet and that might be because of the Trump's statements which sound like he is not going to accept the results.

I think as the official results are coming slowly state by state the bets will get settled. I missed a huge arbitrage chance as the odds on Biden was 3.2 something and then the same day it swung around 4 for Trump so was an easy chance which I missed.

Betting millions on Trump must have required some balls because there was always a Biden wave going on despite claims made by Trump that he already won and stop the counting, etc.

Those are the fruits of arrogance. He will have to reap what he sowed. The way he used to talk, it was a though he was going nowhere

Too bad he choose the wrong one. However I don't think it will bother him no one will place $5M on a single bet for sure this person is really rich that he can manage to lose that $5M easily.

It's human nature, it will bother him whether he is rich or not. I mean, he expected to make $15M out of the bet otherwise if the $5M was nothing to him, he could have as well just donated it for a good cause.

[BChydro]

People do take chances to win big and there are crazy people like these who will bet big and making these kind of huge bets has its advantages, he will get popular in a short period and now everyone will be discussing about that crazy huge bet of five million and how he lost that .
I am only a small time gambler who wages online and hence i am not aware whether he is able to cash out while betting in physical book.

Yeah, there are guys who bet 1 million on UFC so betting 5m on elections is not a big deal for some guys. I saw a few guys on stake making huge bets Trump vs Biden and I was surprised to see the amount of interest because usually people from other countries don't have much interest in who is gonna win and I myself don't have much interest.

There are guys who make 10 BTC bets regularly at stake, sportsbet.io and others and 10 BTC is more like 1/6 or 1/7 of a million and they don't even make news so crypto market has some juicy gamblers indeed and there are guys who don't want much attention for their bets to maintain their privacy.

His popular is gonna lived short but the feeling of losing $5 million is with him forever if it's not his usual bet size.
The trust for Trump made some people loses money as they thought Trump had a good odds and he has a high winning chances at the same time.

I would not say "I pity" on this bettor because we never know his financial capability, but losing $5 million in a single bet makes me think he is a whale in sports betting.

Still if the outcome was the other way around he'd be enjoying the rest of the weekend in euphoria state. I do think that's a whale and he'll never bet like that amount if he's not or he was just too confident he saw a pattern from the past election. I don't think I should pity too but I guess that's just some cents in this gamblers pocket.

People who really bets against the odd are those who have risky appetite thinking if their bet would won it would harvest them some great rewards that's all there is to it, it's pure gambling.

It's definitely pure gambling because we have the odds and we are just betting on it, and also, we can never tell who is going to win even if the stats are showing a certain candidate would easily win, and we have proven that in the past when Trump was a heavy underdog but he surprised world and made him the president of the USA, this time, his charm doesn't work anymore.

It's over for Trump, Biden is now officially the new President of the United States

JOE BIDEN WINS THE PRESIDENCY

Joe Biden will become the 46th president of the United States, CNN projects, after a victory in the state where he was born put him over the 270 electoral votes needed to win.

He will take his oath on January 20th, Trump is the first incumbent President not to get re elected after thirty years, I guess the Americans have had enough of his chaotic administration, I hope Biden administration is a Crypto friendly administrator, so things will be easy in the US for us.

And for the guy who bet $5 million I hope he can get back his loss to other elections

[Ziskinberg]

And for the guy who bet $5 million I hope he can get back his loss to other elections

There's more time to save for $5 million to be again, and I'm pretty sure this bettor will be betting against Biden. lol...

Maybe he was betting on Trump because he was following the trend, which gives his bet a good chance to win though.
But this happened!

Trump is the first incumbent President not to get re elected after thirty years,

[Shasha80]

All countries I think will focus on this election. Even though I am in a different country, I also always follow the development of the world from other countries
and also for America. About this bet, I was quite surprised because it turned out that there were people who would bet that big to support Trump.
But maybe this gambler from England is ready with all the possibilities that will happen. And he is also ready to lose if President Trump does not win the presidential election.
And the New York Times, which has a live vote on their website, shows Bidden getting over 270 votes beating President Trump.
