Seriously, do you pull this nonsense with all your losing sports bets too? Do you want a recount on the points scored by the Jets on Sunday? Were there TD's they scored that were not counted?

Electoral College makes it official: Biden won, Trump lost


By MARK SHERMANDecember 15, 2020

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Electoral College decisively confirmed Joe Biden as the nation’s next president, ratifying his November victory in an authoritative state-by-state repudiation of President Donald Trump’s refusal to concede he had lost.
The presidential electors on Monday gave Biden a solid majority of 306 electoral votes to Trump’s 232, the same margin that Trump bragged was a landslide when he won the White House four years ago.

The Electoral College does(unfortunately, hope that changes), and they have spoken.
But actually I'm on your side. How Bookmaker worded the bet, they shouldn't have paid it out until Jan 20th. They are doing a solid for the winners. For loser tickets like you hold, it doesn't really matter when they grade it a loser, today or Jan 20th, it's still a loser. But for consistency purposes they should wait until Jan 20th. I have a Kamala as next POTUS ticket with Bookmaker that they graded a loser on election day. If G-d forbid Biden gets sick and can't serve between now and then, she'll be inaugurated and will be the winner and I'll be revisiting that with Bookmaker.

Pence will preside over the joint session in Congress on Jan. 6, but federal law stipulates his role is to open and count electoral votes, not weigh in on whether they are valid.

Can your daddy also beat up his daddy? Where are you pulling this BS from? Maybe the bolded is something you would do, but theres no reason to talk down to someone for how someone would deal with a scenario thats made up in your head.

& so what anyways? The ticket shouldn't have been graded yet per rules. Aren't rules a thing?

You same jackasses fk all of the honest bettors over by taking handouts from books, applauding them when they do 'player friendly' shit and never once care for the rules being applied, and the people that get ****** when they aren't.

I don't know the OP Personally, and don't care. The complaint is valid. Anyone who doesn't see the validity or brings up anything aside from the application of the rule is a jackass troll with no integrity. Period.

So glad they did it. I was tired of seeing that pending bet.

It also fukks up your rollover if you bust out before meeting the rollover cause that pending bet will force the calculator not to reset.
Good point Joe.


It doesn't matter anyway, if BAC is correct in his interpretation of their rules, which he reports Bookmaker have confirmed to him, then should anything happen to result in Trump remaining in office, then Trump bettors would be paid.

Earliest possible grading is good for all.

No, his powers are largely ceremonial at that stage. It has to be that way given how often a VP is actually a Presidential candidate - eg Al Gore presided over the count that saw him lose in 2000.

Wrt contested electors: it would need a state legislature to pass a law to override the vote, then you'd have two sets of electors. That hasn't happened anywhere yet though, and is highly unlikely. Even if it did happen, it'd never pass through the necessary votes in Congress, and thus the original electors from the governor would stand.

Yeah, I don't see any problem for Trump bettors in the case of Trump remaining in office. Surely bettors will be paid immediately, won't need to fight Bookmaker for reversals. This wouldn't create an enormous issue. I can't even imagine a scenario where Bookmaker would say 'sorry guys, but the bets were final'. Never seen a problem with a book circling back to do the right thing. 5Dimes paying out customers fairly for their markets was surely done too. No threads exist on Bookmaker being as stubborn as they get and being unwilling to reverse misgrades without pulling teeth.

Seriously, wtf did I just read? Just follow the rules. You're living in some fantasy world where you're okay with putting punters at the mercy of books to do the right thing, and put all of the work and toll on punters who wouldn't need to fight anything if the rules were simply followed. After the way you forgave 5Dimes countlessly for not following their rules because if benefited you (Nascar race wins), and taking a neutral stance on players not getting paid - expecting 5Dimes to 'do the right thing' how can you be so naive here onto thinking its okay and 'good for all' for rules not to be followed and set up a scenario where backers get screwed?
