Political betting

[hotshot64]

Just for fun, let's do some betting on the upcoming elections and other stuff. Small change so no one loses too much gold (I know some of you nutters are addicts), but still a way to compete and maybe win some gold.

So here's how it will work.
1: Place a bet here, specifying which issue you're betting on, and your stance, and I'll take your bet.
2: Trade your gold to me within 1 week of posting, or your bet will be removed.
3: When betting is closed, for example after an election, winners will be highlighted in green. PM me for your prize, or I will contact you.

A basic explanation of odds: a 1:1 odds bet with a 100k gold stake will result in either losing 100k gold, or breaking even. 2:1 odds would result in either losing 100k gold, or having 200k gold returned to you (a 100k gold profit).

Disclaimer: no refunds will be given, and Daer will take a 10% cut to facilitate transactions by covering goblin tax.

Current bets:

Democrat Primary
Bernie Sanders wins: 2:1 odds

Republican Primary
Donald Trump loses: 2:1 odds

General election:
Republican party wins: 3:1 odds
Dorklords: Donald Trumps wins the general election, 3:1 odds

100k on 1: Donald Trump maintains an RCP average poll of at least 33% until January 1, 2016. Favored at 4:1 odds.

Ps im british i aint got a clue about american politics

Will maintain the average

Remember, you can bet either way. For example, Donald Trump will NOT maintain a 33% average, or Donald Trump WILL maintain that average. Please specify when you place the bet

didn't Bernie Sanders get in trouble when his campaign staffers breached Clinton's data or something like that?

A bit yeah, they revoked his campaign's access to the database for like 24 hours.

Not hard to check the current campaign status and statistics with a quick Google search.

Update: the only available bets are for primary/general election wins. If you think you know without a doubt who will win, bet now, because those odds will change over time.

Your bet has been added.

[Akilthedestroyer]

I bet 1 million gold (Who decides the odds? I am totally new to this) that Donald Trump will NOT become the President of the United States.

[hotshot64]

I decide the odds, but the general election will probably not be bet upon until the primaries are over.

[Soxson]

I bet 1m that Hillary Clinton will NOT sit in the oval office chair where Bill Clinton probably received a blow job.

Bets were for 100k only, your bet was invalid. If you're lucky I'll pay out 300k.
