    Hello again, IT:

    I'm laying 5 to 4 that Hillary wins.  If you put up 100 credits and Trump wins, I'll pay you 125 credits.  How much do you want?

    I will do 300 credit as well.
    Your odds seem to say that you are not very confident of a trump loss. Or you really want to profit in credits.

    Hello again, IT:

    Got you down for 3 hun.  If Trump wins, you get 375. By the way, you DO know that my odds make Trump the UNDERDOG..  I'd stick with code writing..  Gambling ain't your thing.

    Yes but if you were really confident of a trump loss you would offer a higher payout to attract more gamblers to lose their credits.

    excon such a moderate bid on such a sure thing?  Bet the building.  Bet it ALL.  Point-wise you will be richer than Trump when this ends.  It won't end well for Donnie unless you count bullshitting and lying about the outcome and his big loss as a plus for him.  He will try and market that for sure.

    I don't know what polls you are talking about I checked CNN and Politico. They have Clinton ahead in most swing states. Trump may win a few like Ohio and Iowa, but Clinton can still have more delegates. Some states don't have early voting. Some states, like Texas, don't report party affiliation of voters. I know Texas had an unusually large number of voters for the first day, compared to 2012, but that was expected. More people vote during presidential elections.

    I did not say poll.  I say actual votes....early voting.  Trump is winning.  Traditionally Dems win the early vote.

    Maybe because GOP election officials won't let Democrats vote early?...;-D...

    I may be wrong, but aren't early votes not counted until the general election is over?  So, how would anyone know the vote count so far?

    I have just seen several people on the news saying Trump is winning the early vote....that says to me someone has and is counting them as they come in.

    Either that or they're doing exit polls.  Counting early ballots and publishing results could too easily sway voters who cast their votes at a later date.

    They do not look at who has been voted for they just count who has returned ballots and if that person is a registered democrat or republican it is assumed they have voted for the party they are registered with.

    Right, they are comparing voters and their registration.   Trump is winning in FL by 120,000 in early voting.  This is a first in history for a R to win the early vote.

    How do they know who's a Republican or Democrat?  When I vote, my ballot doesn't have my name on it or my party affiliation.

    When you go in to vote they check the voter registration list. In states like FL you are registered with a party or as an independent. So they assume those registered as with a party are voting for the party's candidate.

    I call this the Tea Bag last hurrah!  They will TRY and believe they have a chance until Trump tries to get a re-count.  Then when that doesn't work, because he lost by so much, they will start trying to impeach and discredit everything H. Clinton does for the next 8 years.  She has the benefit of seeing what they did to Obama on her side. Hope she is better equipped than he was to deal with the poison.


    Well, I have not mailed my vote in yet and it won't be for Donnie.  Not even as a joke.   To start with this nonsense of TRUMP winning is as big a lie as the rest of his so-called campaign.
