You guys seem to be delusional in so many ways. Georgia and Pennsylvania won't flip anymore. Arizona could flip, but I doubt that will happen. Trump going to court and moaning like a loser won't change anything. Move on people.

What do you base the Biden Win on?
Because the associated Press said so?  Cheesy Cheesy
Do you understand the Voting System at all? Seriously?

The Media does NOT determine Presidents, if it was all done and decided why has the electoral College announced Biden as Winner?
Oh wait, BECAUSE HE HASN'T WON!

Wow. Crazy accumulator win. Those odds are insane. I usually stick to betting on 1.1 or lower odds in such long accumulators for obvious reasons which is why your win is truly impressive.

He most probably will, biden lead is shrinking and GA PA AZ went back to undecided and biden has 259 votes now, he will prolly lose others as the process unfolds.

Official stake elections statement

Summary:"We have chosen to pay out on Biden early while allowing Trump bets to remain unsettled until there is more clarity."


We're actively settling Biden bets now as a win, if you bet on him you will get paid within 24h.

1. Voter fraud is proven
2. Votes are recast
3. Trump receives 270+ electoral college votes
4. Biden concedes

Please clarify point number 2, because recast means re-voting If I'm not mistaken (or re-arrangement?)

What's gonna happen is recount in some states and re-arrangement of votes, it's unlikely they'll go for a re-vote unless the election as a whole gets invalidated and replaced.

My question is most probably a technicality on the term but please clarify recast.

Hey,

Well if the Votes get re arranged in some states, which makes Trump win that state, then the electoral college votes for that state will go to Trump and be removed from Biden.
Then Rule 3 will become effective.

I think with them 4 rules, they have all bases covered in terms of voting.

So, people will win either way.. no matter who they bet on? I know Eddie said that there was over $4 000 000 that was bet on this election results, just on Stake in his Stream over the weekend.  Wink

Well, I will be happy... because I dropped a few dollars on Trump for a win.. even if I do not really like any one of the two. Thank you for keeping us up to date on this matter, because it dominated the discussions in the chat the last few days.  Wink

Great way to handle it.  

Lots of books aren't settling till Jan (or even Feb).  Paying out without settling losing tickets is not something most would even consider.  Hopefully you don't have to pay the losers.   Wink

I agree, a great way to handle the situation. Smiley

And hey, I was one of the losers, I sure hope Trump somehow becomes President Tongue

Pretty cool because I was watching over the weekend before the bet concluded with the last two matches left to go.
But they were certain they would win those because they were with a Tottenham win and Liverpool BTTS,

What is going on here?
 

 Do you get your history and account information back? Or is this still not solved?
 Things like this, should not happen. What if they can not restore it? They should use a decent backup system to solve these things in minutes.
 

 They settled and fix it now.
 You just have to refresh  the browser for you to be able to see your updated transaction bets. Yesterday, even notifications isn't working but kinda okay now. They've been updating the site, that is why. But it wasn't lost its just slow in showing the updated bets.
 
 And about that us election voting, I voted for Trump  Sad . Yeah, lose but anyway that's how it went.

Trump hasn't lost, the result it's still pending. Some bookmakers are paying early for Biden but ensured to pay for Trump if when the election has ended is legally certified as the actual winner. To have a winner you need to have the Electoral College to vote and the loser to concede. None of this happened. These are all projections

All compliant bookmakers pay based on legal based win, those who are paying Biden now are doing it discretionary to calm those who are complaining because they see the news. But legally they're not binded to pay those. And most bookmakers put everything on hold because despite what the media says the result is still unknown and highly disputed. The elections hasn't ended officially and ZERO states have certified the win of either one or the other candidate. The result is when EC certifies and/or loser concedes.
Trump fans could try to make it look like "let's do recount!" and "let's get to courts!" all day want, but the result will not change, not from here on out. First of all we are talking about 306 votes and nothing short, even if you can switch just one state you won't get it, hell you can even change 2 states and you won't get it, which means it is already a sure fire thing because we are not getting 3 or more states flipping with recount all of a sudden.

Secondly and most importantly, Trump team has been firing cases left and right all week, they have been trying to get anything to attach, but from mainly conservative judges of supreme court to all state level smaller places, there has been ZERO that got accepted, which means he has ZERO proof that there were fraud.

Yes, I understand they managed to make voters believe there is fraud, but courts saw literally zero proof of that, only talks.

I am not sure what is the reason behind it but it seems irresponsible to me to keep taking bets on this market after its almost certain that Biden will be the next president.

BetFair exchange still has 1.06 odds for Biden and 17 odds for Trump (both options with tons of volume), so betting markets clearly don't consider the election decided. I'm pretty surprised that Biden still pays 1.06 but clearly I don't as much about the election.

According to google:

Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. is an American politician who is informally regarded as president-elect of the United States after the 2020 presidential election. usually, Google is quit actual. as long as it is informal, and not formal I think it is still not a closed case. they can also make protest against the votes, which must be taken into consideration as well.

Yep, I got that part. I'm just surprised that Trump still has an implied ~6% chance of winning the election after looking at various news outlet projections.

This is literally free money. 6% is pretty awesome considering the fact that we know the result already.

Betting exchanges are generally considered sharp, so I wouldn't call it free money. Personally I placed 0.25BTC to win 0.019BTC on Biden total but I'm hesitant to bet more *just in case*.

But rest assured if we settle this for those who bet on Biden and Trump somehow gets elected as president we would have to payout all the bets made on Trump as well.

This is the reason i am against settling this market prematurely but as we always try to do the best thing for our players we might do this.
You guys seem to be waiting for something which is literally not possible at this point. Biden leads Trump by a big margin at this point. Even if something unexpected happens later, Biden's lead could just decrease by a few votes here and there.

Biden has won both the popular vote while setting a record and the most electoral college votes. The bets should have been settled once the results were declared.

We will be making a statement within the next 24h regarding how we will handle the US election settlement. As noted we need to take our time to get this right.

Well, just wanna put this winning bet on here



Risked more than $80k in a single bet on stake, and made total profit almost 20 btc from US election from few casinos,

reference : https://bitedge.com/blog/i-won-19-7-bitcoin-betting-on-the-2020-us-presidential-election/

Betbtc also shared that in their ANN thread, the bettor uses different sites in gambling, maybe to avoid the limit and minimize the risk.

All we demand is integrity, transparency and clarity. All you demand is to illegally and unfairly settle this because you want to be paid early and get your way regardless of rules.


@janggernaut I wouldn’t be surprised if more such bets pop up in the next few days, and I also believe that it’s a lesson for all of us, that we too can win if we choose to put faith in our beliefs.

@Hybridverse first of all I don’t think that Stake has cleared the bets relating to US election, and @Stunna has already asked for 24 hours to announce their intentions regarding the election bets, so why’re you trying to raise an non existent issue?, at least let them reach an conclusion before you raise your voice here.

Hi, I am just answering to those who are denying the facts. Based on what I've seen so far in Stake.com track record and compliance I expect them to result in a fair decision that protects all involved and grants the decision based on the official results same as any professional and LEGAL provider is doing. I am not raising my voice against Stake. I am just stating facts for those who want to get their way unfairly. I hope this is clear, didn't want to give you a wrong impression. But the issue is here because integrity, transparency and regulatory procedures are a must follow and to be honest it shouldn't even be said that Biden bets are going to be settled today or that the sports team wants to settle Biden. Because if they do before the official result and such result differs from what they did. It'll be a big issue and all should know this. This isn't a partisan matter, is much more of granting a fair outcome for everyone involved based on  regulations and electoral procedures. This isn't a soccer game. However, I have faith in the integrity of Stake in this sense. It's easy to see what all providers are doing and seeing the ongoing dispute as very contentious. Closed markets aren't settled anywhere across major regulated providers. Only sportsbet.com and they clearly stated to cover if Trump wins. Some markets are open with Trump odds are raising because it's clear that is not over and yet some wants to call it off because they bet biden. That's ridiculous, selfish and guess what, illegal. Sportsbet.com market is still open after early biden payout and they accept bets on both so

I have to agree that what sportsbet io is doing is pretty ridiculous if they still keep the market open.

On other hand as Stunna said we are looking into ways to settle this for our players faster than just waiting for new president to be elected.

But rest assured if we settle this for those who bet on Biden and Trump somehow gets elected as president we would have to payout all the bets made on Trump as well.

This is the reason i am against settling this market prematurely but as we always try to do the best thing for our players we might do this.

Anyhow we apologize for the inconvenience this caused, unfortunately it was out of our hands.

Does this message means that what Sportsbet was doing was incorrect and they took advantage of the situation in order to trick people?
Or maybe it was out of their control and it was just automatically showed up.

I am not sure what is the reason behind it but it seems irresponsible to me to keep taking bets on this market after its almost certain that Biden will be the next president.

We could have continued taking bets on Trump but we decided to close the market as our odds provider closed it.

They are not tricking people i mean there are still people that believe that Trump can turn this around and win and that is totally ok. But at this point in my opinion it's impossible to determine fair odds on both candidates so any sportsbook that keeps it open is probably taking huge margins which are not fair to players.

Let's make sure that sportsbet.com and .io are differed in this conversation because:

Sportsbet.com isn't tricking anyone, they just succumbed to crybabies, they're going to pay out both so it's fine, they can keep the market open and they clearly stated that biden bets that have been set after biden early payout will not be paid if Trump wins, which he likely will, because the legal case is real and the fraud too, reason why there's no official result.

Sportsbet.io on the other hand, of which I don't know much about, seems they settled early and if they don't pay Trump bettors if Trump is the official winner, They'll be in BIG trouble as it's quite illegal and an act of gross negligence which is easily enforceable in a Court of Law because Official Bodies are withholding for serious reasons. This is why sportsbet.com is taking the right approach in setting biden early which is doing it at a risk.

All major providers (Paddypower, Betfair, Pinnacle, etc) are withholding the settlement for these very serious reasons until IMHO either 14th December when is the ultimate call for the Electoral College or even before with recounts and in some states like Arizona it's possible that the results are overturned even before Electoral College (federal) through Electoral Commission (national). In any case, the official result of is what stands. So if Stake settles early for biden they're just doing you a favour and they're risking big for you and they'll be probably at a loss because there's plenty of evidence to show where is this going.


Which would be remarkable because they're not binded in any way to do so and no single major provider did this.

Well said.

Yes sportsbet.com and sportsbet.io are two completely different operators.

Your are right that anyone who settles this market before official decision is doing so at a huge risk.

That's why although we can cover the loss if we settle incorrectly, it is still a very hard decision to make. And we appreciate your guys patience on this matter highly!
