Not surprising. You must be a special kind of stupid to not only vote for Trump, but also assume there are enough people just as stupid yourself that will also vote on him and then wager money on it.

Its a publicity stunt to get more traffic to their book

Nothing to see here people...

The Manchester United-supporting owner of Betfred has tempted fate by paying out on his side retaining the title

LOL epic fail. why would they do this!!!!!!!!!

Of all people you would think YOU DO NOT GRADE A WAGER until the clock hits 0

They are out that cash, although I would not doubt they try to demand it back.

Like I said earlier, it was a publicity play. They just need to eat crow and move on. I would think somebody gets axed at those books for this... but I don't care

the majority of people here at SBR seem to be pretty happy about the election, of course some are not happy at all.

We can all smile when the bookie loses though
