Hm, this is interesting. Give me a few days to think it over.

I don't think that Pence has any shot of being elected if Trump was to be impeached and found guility, dies, etc. I think that if Trump is gone, Pence is probably going to go with him and the GOP has no shot of winning.

So yeah, going to think that one over and shoot back to ya here with my thoughts.

Sure, no problem.

It'd be worth the comedy value alone if you pick Hillary for a hedge Grin

The real hedge is to pick Biden

But yes, it would be worth the comedy value IMO to pick someone like Hillary, Bloomberg, etc.

I mean if those were the conditions, I think you'd have to pay more in the event that Trump does win -- as you're missing a good deal of conditions in that one. This one is fair, as it's 1:1 with a good deal of conditions ensuring that as I said before, both sides are happy.

I'd be willing to make a bet like that, let me know.

Do you mean you'd want to do a 1:1 with the same conditions like the OP? Boring

How about this: pick Trump and one other person who you think would be elected if Trump dies etc, can be a Republican or a Democrat, doesn't matter. Let's say you pick Trump+Pence, if either of them is elected President - you win, if not - I win, no other conditions, even-money bet (1:1). Then your risk (other than Trump losing) is only (1) something catastrophic/unconstitutional; or (2) if you picked the wrong 2nd person, e.g. Pence is impeached along with Trump LOL.

Actually I haven't checked what odds bookies are offering for Pence, I might be too generous here Grin

Big fan of how this bet was laid out. Makes both sides feel as if they're not cheated in the event of something catastrophic happening or in the event that some Republican senators flip on Trump.

I would still love to have a straight YOLO Trump-all-the-way bet without any conditions. There are definitely some users here who are 100% convinced that the impeachment is a hoax and that the re-election is a done deal. I would consider a bet against that but it would have to be decent-sized multisig-escrowed no-bullshit offer to make it worthwhile.

Can't wait to see how this turns out. I'm assuming this sort of betting is also present on ugh -- ETH decentralized sites -- probably not with the same amount of clauses though.

Local rules: this particular bet, as well as betting on 2020 presidential election in general, and discussing the election itself is on topic. Everything else, including the usual P&S bullshit (you know who you are) is not.
