    2nd Georgia Senate race also to go to Runoff.

    that is a big deal! i had perdue needing nearly bang on 50% of remaining to win with the 50% majority.

    that'd be a huge win for the dems

    What do you mean "why", obviously if Biden is voted as president and becomes incapacitated (heart attack, assassination, another stroke they can't hide) Harris becomes president. The odds are shortening along with Biden's odds. It's still a few months until the next president is actually inaugurated.

    The started shortening quite suddenly. They are not shortening with Bidens.




    I didn't think this would need so much explanation.

    They seem to be heavily favoring Biden.

    Trump's lead in Georgia now just 0.27%. 98% of votes reported.

    With Fox calling Arizona for Biden, they will be forced to declare Biden President if he gets Georgia or Nevada.

    While CNN will still be waiting.

    Trump will go banannas then.

    he's been about 1.10 for a while. think it all changed when the postal votes were counted.

    and i tend to agree with the sentiment someone mentioned - to keep the viewing figures up.

    Well maybe they figured it was some throwaway bet and didn't think much of it like that other poster was suggesting. They're in the business of politics after all, not life expectancy or disabilities. Then some smart punters saw their chance and started putting as much as they could on it and the bookmakers reacted.

    Some people are betting on Kamala Harris as next president, anyone know why?

    She was 1000 (999/1) up until today (on Betfair). I noticed she moved to 880 a short while ago. She's now down to 400.

    Edit: She's now down to 200

    Maybe if the court cases etc are all done, then Biden might be in poor health? Outside bet but maybe that's what the thinking could be.

    there's no way that can happen. she doesn't become VP until biden is sworn in.

    Trump is literally going to get people killed if he doesn't put down his phone. Dangerous and irresponsible to be riling gun totting elements of his base.

    With odds that long, 1000-to-1, being given then the bookmaker will shorten them as soon as any sort of money starts coming in.



    It would not take much money for them to shorten that down. It is a novelty bet.

    Its not a line of succession thing. Its about who the EC delegates will cast their votes for. It would be Harris (and there would be court cases).

    That's fine? Oh wow that's fine guys, don't worry guys he's not mad at us for being so stupid.

    Hey smart guy why did you ask the ****ing question all if you're so smart yourself and just going to badmouth all the answers you get? You got more answers than anyone asking any other question here.

    Tosspot. You have no clue what you're talking about. And you're asking us about what happened to Biden as if we're going to have some inside information on something like what are you imagining here? A heart attack or something?

    It is true that betting markets aren't nearly so affected by betting patterns as some people think. But on betfair they completely depend on the betting patterns.

    this aint a jibe at biden BTW.

    is there a fit and proper persons test for president?

    just when you mentioned kanye, i remember news outlets saying he has bipolar or something so shouldn't be considered.
