Quote: speedycrapI am sorry. My bad. Then make it 20 Jan 2021 No Biden Inauguration. Still interested?? I have US$80 ready and available.

Be careful; remember what happened in 2009 - Obama had a second "secret" swearing-in because he didn't read the oath as it appears in the Constitution in the first one. He was not particularly thrilled that he was asked to do it again, but birthers were going to have a field day with it if he didn't.

That was John Roberts
He tried to wing the oath from memory and blew it
2nd one, he read from a paper.
Hello Wizard. Since RSactuary is all talk but no action. (RSactuary wrote "I woud bet all my life savings") Would you take US$50 please? I will take 10-1 odds meaning if I win, I will make US$500. If I lose, I will lose US$50. I think it is a very sweet deal to you. +EV. To make it better, my potential winnings will be put towards the dinner of 2022 Spring Fling of WizardofVegas.Quote: WizardBetFair is taking action on Trump to leave before the end of his term. The betting odds suggest a 9.8% chance.

Speedy has paid me once, and I ferried money from him to pay off a different WoV member. So Wiz... he’s probably good for the EASY $50. He will be on the hook for $20 to me already. I got my bet in early so only gave him 9-1!
No No No No, Soopoo. The sales pitch should be +EV. Also just in case, US$500 for 2022 dinner of Spring Fling.Quote: SOOPOOQuote: speedycrapHello Wizard. Since RSactuary is all talk but no action.

How have the odds changed tonight now that McConnell apparently supports impeachment and some House republicans like Liz Cheney are voting to impeach?

I accept! Please confirm by 12:01 AM (Pacific time) on Jan 13 or I will consider the bet to have no action, as the news is changing by the hour.

SPOILER ALERT: Every single bet was a winner. I had identified one value bet in October, but specifically said in the October article that I'd not take that binary simply because there was so much essentially free money on the table.
What bet was the funniest (and one of the easiest) wins? It had to do with a certain person coming in third...
Quote: speedycrapYes, money sent to Wizard already. You lunch will be ready anytime we meet.
I confirm this.

I expect a Wiz tip of a $2 bill for brokering this bet......
Quote: SOOPOOI expect a Wiz tip of a $2 bill for brokering this bet......
Following PredictIt, the Wiz will take 10% of the profit and then a withdrawal fee of 5% for capital plus profit.
That would probably make the bet illegalQuote: SOOPOOI expect a Wiz tip of a $2 bill for brokering this bet......
I like illegal transaction. Since it is ILLEGAL, then all bets are off. And I want my money back from Wizard please. I am a nice guy, so I say please. I think this is my lucky day. And thanks Ace2.Quote: Ace2That would probably make the bet illegal
