TAKING BETS

[jbauer]

Still not had our coffee, at two thirty p.m?

The point is, troll talk is cheap, but not a one of them actually believes Trump can win the general election. Not one. Whatever their reason is for telling us Trump can beat a Democrat, it isn't an honest belief that Trump can actually beat a Democrat. They are 100% bluff and excuses, and zero percent true faith. Even the one whining about how odds have nothing to do with actual probabilities refuses to post proof that he bet on Trump elsewhere. Obviously arguing is his reason for existing, not settling the argument by putting his money where his big mouth is--whether here or elsewhere.

I thought that rather plainly obvious, myself.

Um......you started the thread.

If the RNC screws Trump then kiss the general election good bye. Trump as of now is the best chance, like it or not unfortunately -

RNC I dare you to screw Trump.

A Note from RNC Chairman Reince Priebus:
The nominee will be chosen by primary voters and delegates, as allotted by state parties and RNC rules.

I see it different . . . at the last "very elegant" debate where Duhnald comfortably stood while Rubio could give him more lessons -
Trump didn't know the nomination was won by a majority of 2,472 delegates regardless of how ever many ballots it takes at the convention.

So now . . . all because Duhnald doesn't know the rules, he'll create the narrative that he is somehow being cheated if his
less-than-majority plurality isn't good enough - what a douchebag.

In Trump's mind . . . he is so special and so powerful that he deserves better than Dwight Eisenhower in 1952,
who at first was 9 votes short of a majority, with a plurality of 95 delegates over Senator Taft.

A brokered convention is the best chance to get a consensus candidate to beat Hillary - unfortunately that could mean Jeb!?

I hate to be a party pooper, but online gambling is a bit of a legal grey area; I'd be careful fellas.

You might get yourselves or RPF in trouble.

Too bad we don't have a play money betting system for RPF...

Anyway, Trump is definitely going to lose in November, and I'd be happy to take non-money bets to that effect (perhaps rep points, somehow).

Well, it was St. Paddy's yesterday, so if bars closed at 4am . . .

Nobody is selling anything here, though some of you are trying awfully hard. That site deals only in sales.

So why aren't you turning Cleaner44 onto that website you found offering odds? I'd rather take his money myself, but I'd be content just to see him put his money where his mouth is--with anyone.



Is it about Trump, LE? Or is it about people on this site making claims they don't believe?

What do you really believe, lady? Is the thread about Trump? Or is it, by process of elimination, about you?

Have you bet on The Hildabeast?

[acptulsa]

Sure it is. This from your own words and is the first sentence of your OP.

Did you read what you quoted?

Dude. You're the one who started a thread with "Taking Bets". People are just trying to get terms.

So I suggest you "put up or shut up"

Did you miss the post where I said I'd be content with proof you placed a wager at the website of your choice? Or the posts where Cleaner44 (the only one so far who has done more than argue and obfuscate) and I came to mutually agreeable terms--regardless of whether or not they would work for you?

Regardless of the number of lies you tell, anyone can see that only one person has put up so far. Yet no one seems willing to shut up.

Well, that's the kind of person one expects to jump on something as completely silly as the Trump bandwagon.

[openfire]

If we're only talking about $10, then sure I'll take that bet at even odds... Same arrangement as Cleaner44.

Put me down for Trump - $10.

I sincerely doubt it'll be an issue.

Unless Trump wins. And you know how unlikely that is as well as I do.

Heh.

Sure. Not that I expect you to be around in November.

[openfire]

You kidding me? The schadenfreude will be most enjoyable.

Yes, it will. Very enjoyable. In the unlikely event any of the people enduring it share it with us.

Definitely not illegal to organize betting without vig on a forum for either the forum or the participant. This thread is a poor decision on a lot levels but it is allowed. And no form of online gambling is illegal for participants. It is only illegal for someone to offer a game for profit.

You might be right, but my reading on the subject tells me the law's pretty ambiguous (FYI, I'm not a lawyer).

Everyone will have to decide for themselves.

To all of those who are pretending to believe that Trump can actually beat the Democrat in the general election: Here's your golden opportunity to put your money where your mouth is! The only catch is you have to actually put your money up!

Come on, fools. Shell it out!

For those of you not stupid enough to take this bet, please bookmark this thread and bring those who run around blathering how Trump is going to skunk Clinton right here! Thank you so much!


SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

I wasn't going to have anything else to do with this idiotic thread, but when you call me a liar, I will. I haven't lied one bit. I pointed out the fallacy of your bedwetting behavior. You're pissed because Trump is being talked about on this forum so much. Understandable. But, then you and your fellow travelers proceed to talk way more about him and start way more threads than anyone else. This thread is case in point and I quoted your first sentence where you mention TRUMP. Without TRUMP, you wouldn't have started this thread. True?

As Ron Paul always said, you get more of what you subsidize and you and your cohorts are subsidizing the discussion of Trump on this forum. lol

But, hey, knock your socks off.

[acptulsa]

Without TRUMP, you wouldn't have started this thread. True?

Not true.

I've been calling the bluffs of this forum's trolls since they were all Obamabots.

Any difference between this thread and those is probably related to the unfortunate fact that when the Obamabots claimed their pet cretin could win, they weren't bluffing.

Next!

Ya , I think I would put 2 bucks on Clinton and the Dem machine at this point .

I bet a cool million.

You are rich!

[Cleaner44]

juleswin you owe me $10:
http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthr...83#post6300683

Good thing I only took you for $10 instead of you 10 to 1 odds you offered.

Done. If either fails to secure the major party nomination, the bet is off (that's obviously to protect you). Otherwise, I'll be bumping this in November.

You can pay me by Paypal if you want.

I bought my shares for .20 each so that is 5 to 1 on my money!

I wasn't sure about all of the fees when I started the account. I bought $25 of shares on the Republican party to win the White House. The price at the time was .20 per share, so that got me 125 shares. I earned $125 and they removed a $10 fee. I should be able to withdraw the funds in a few more days. I don't yet know if I get all remaining $115 or if there will be more fees. All in all a pretty good take!
