Damn, you degenerate Aussie gamblers! My hat's off to you...

Predictit.org takes around 15% off the top so $250 ended up being around $1000 after a few buy outs I took and final pays + fees. I'm happy with the 400% return.

With bet365 I'm in a slight predicament. I can withdraw 650 and lose my bonus 650 unless I bet 400 of that bonus. To make 250 more eligiabke for withdraw... thing is I don't know where or what to bet he 400 on now without realistically losing it. I'm kind of pissed with that. I've not really looked into paddy power or winner but they don't seem to be letting my withdraw either. I pulled an all nighter n now at work so I'll look into it later.

Find any bet which has close odds to an exchange like smarkets. Place the bet with bet365 and lay it at the exchange. You lose a couple of quid but gain +395 when all is settled. PM if you need more info. Happy to help.

I think that was probably the best idea.. I've done some higher risk bets across the board. I've placed bets on 28 soccer matches over the weekend. Most of which are today. Last one is one 11th November (Saturday). Most of the games are today.

Well done everyone, maybe we should start a thread for the French election?

I heard from a French relative that Sarkozy was going to do well but he's 9-1.

I caught backing Trump at 7.50 X. I am curious when they will pay out the bet. Now I regret putting only $ 500

Also, newb question and thought experiment.
If I would have bet
1000 € on hillary, 3:1
and
1000 € on Trump, 5:1

Would I have liabilities of 3000 € for Hillary and 5000 € win for Trump --> 2000 € profit?

Fucking hell - I had Puts in SPY and Calls in ABX. Things were looking great overnight, was gonna turn $1000 into $5000. By morning things settled, volatility collapsed, and I was left with $200 left in my pocket...

Wish us Canadians could have participated in the betting markets.

No.

You would lose your 1k bet on Clinton, and gain 5k from your Trump bet, plus your 1k stake returned. Assuming your bet was Clinton to win.

The type of betting in the datasheet is more complex and I'm not familiar with it at all.

You can bet with bet365 from Canada.

I have a feeling that winner.com/winner.co.uk may well be a scam site. I betted there and I know of another member who did perhaps on my own recommendation. They were offering the best odds and had a generous sign up bonus. I have no been able to withdraw my funds and they've put in a rule that I have to

I am supremely pissed that odds checker have vetting them and deemed them to be an acceptable betting company. I guess it is unsurprising that they have received appalling reviews from this website.

There are claims from some reviewers that this company is withdrawing money from their bank account at will.

In the heat of the moment and suresightedness of a trump victory I was willing to put money down on a company that was ultimately out to scam me. Fortunately I won enough elsewhere to cover my £200 initial deposit. For those members who use this site off of my own recommendation I am truly sorry.

I wouldn't bet on the Frogs and their bullshit political and domestic cowardice if I was forced. Le Pen will be rail roaded by the opposition and the liberals will elect their elite pay masters as usual despite their country spiraling into the abyss.

[mikado]

Not wise to do the same for french elections because it is not a one-time vote. Marine will probably prevail in the first vote but not in the second.

Most betting websites have a rule that you have to let the "free play" points rollover a certain amount of times, so if you used the free play points to bet, you can't withdraw for a certain amount of time. If you don't take the bonus, or if you don't use the free play (depends on site) then you can withdraw immediately.
I was confused at first until I looked into it a bit more, and talked to them (sportbetting.ag) on the phone.

This is a cross-post from the other relevant threads:

First of all, thank you to those that started the various betting on politics threads as you as a whole eventually convinced not only me, but others to bet big league on this election.

A number of you have PM'ed me, I've tried to pull numbers out of the various threads, but I know there's still a few winners at least missing. I included profit (stake subtracted), but did NOT subtract fees or taxes as these vary greatly and are not really that significant to this summary. I'm pretty confident the forum membership made over HALF A MILLION DOLLARS on this election as you can see below we are already basically there.

MAGA



Please PM me if you or someone else you know is missing from this list or if you think I made an error. I will be updating this as more information comes to me. It's been a really fun time getting it together.

[Blake2]

I don't post about politics, but this is a special time:

Just cashed in bet slips for a thousand!
Thanks Mr. President-elect

All my friends who bet on Trump thanked me for the tip, and those who didn't now see me as a wise man. Thanks RV forum, 100% quality info here.

High energy effort!

The 82K was my total return, not my profit.

My profit was 58638 in AUD, or about 44230 USD.

I assume the other aussies would have reported their winnings in AUD as well, rather than doing any conversion.

[Luvianka]

US$522,900.78? Man...
Guys, just imagine this: Had we been gathered in the same place, let's say at a Vegas casino on Tuesday 8th? Could you imagine the kind of party we would've thrown as soon as the 270th vote had been called? Could you imagine?

[AneroidOcean]

Thanks to those who PM'ed me and others like Neo who corrected me on their actual profit. There was also some adjustment for Canadian or other currencies. This is all in US Dollars. This still leaves us over half a million with 50 winners at this point in the tally.

I've got a lot of thanks for putting this together, but it's only a small contribution compared to others and an easy one with all the help I've received here.

I'm out of state sitting in one of the super liberal cities that has had violent protests recently and I don't know if I would even dare to wear my Make America Great Again hat here due to the penchant for violence in the area, so this is a nice thing to be able to compile.

Now sorted by highest to lowest per request.

   

[The Beast1]

Not to be pedantic, but burneremail and Accuride 6 figure bets are from australia. The AUS to USD conversion isn't 1:1.

Accurides bet in USD: 100,316.58
Burneremail: 79,575.18

Not nearly as much energy, but still HIGH enough!

An unnamed woman in the UK puts £450,000 on Hillary (Christ knows why anyone would risk that much with the shitty odds) and loses.

Barmy or brilliant? Brave woman bets 500,000 euros on Hillary Clinton to win presidential race in her first ever political wager
The unnamed woman placed the bet with British bookmaker William Hill
She will win £180,000 should Hillary Clinton triumph over Donald Trump
William say she is a regular gambler but has never bet on politics before
A woman lost £100,000 after betting on the UK to remain in the EU in June

A woman has placed a 500,000 euros bets on Hillary Clinton to win the US presidential election in what is probably the biggest political wager in history.
The gamble, which is the equivalent to £450,000, was with British bookies William Hill who placed the Democratic party nominee at 4-11 to win the race to the White House.
Should Clinton triumph over Donald Trump and become the first female president the unidentified woman will accrue £180,000 in winnings.

illiam Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe told the Mail Online that the woman is 46-years-old, a regular customer, had never placed a political bet in her life and had made the gamble in EUROS.
Mr Sharpe wouldn't divulge any further information on the bettor.
'As far as we are aware the Clinton bet is the biggest wager ever taken on either the US presidential, or the UK general elections.
'As a result of taking this bet a win for Donald Trump has now become a favoured bet for us,' he told the Times.

Mr Sharpe did have a warning for those who had bet on a Clinton victory citing the rise anti-establishment politics.
'At the moment, political outsiders are on a roll, coming off the back of the European referendum, the Tory general election victory in the first leadership campaign, which was a 200-1 long shot at one point.'

'Maybe those who have backed Hillary should be aware of that.'
Soon after the bet was placed the bookmaker slashed the odds on a Clinton victory to 1/3.
While odds on Republican party candidate Trump were lengthened from 9-4 to 5-2.
The immediate cutting of Clinton's odds proves a reminder that prices set by bookies don't necessarily reflect the chances of victory but only how companies hope to make the most profit or lose the least amount of cash.

One unlucky woman lost £100,000 to William Hill after betting big on the UK to remain in the European Union.
They also said a London woman bet £10,000 on a Leave vote at odds of 11/4, meaning she made a profit of £27,500.
The odds of a remain victory were cut after a series of wealthy punters bet on the UK to stay in the EU.

I bet you her ex husband is extremely pleased with her post marriage life.

one of the spokesman for William Hill said that because of the very large bets placed on Hillary they wanted Donald to win. This supports my betting theory that I mentioned earlier in the thread. That odds are dependant on value betted on that outcome (amongst other things).

Another woman had lost £100k in the EU referendum and another made £27k.

Anyway, thanks to this woman (who lost big), she has essentially paid us. I thank her for it
