Bets on the Election w/ platinum
 
Here's the deal. I bet Obama wins the election. I will give you 2:1 odds. So if you bet 25k, you get my 50k if Romney wins, but I get your 25k if Obama wins.

Maximum Bet: 150k in total (300k from me). Total means I only put up 300k to all people who bet, so if for example Loraen bets 125k then I can only take 25k more worth of bets from everyone else.

Minimum Bet: 1k (2k from me).

Fineprint: If for some reason either Obama or Romney are not on the ballot (illness, death, scandal, jail, whatever so long as their name does not appear on the ballot) then all bets are off --> this is very very unlikely.

EDIT: 3rd party in charge of platinum = Happyfeet

Last but not least, if this is not in accordance with the rules then please delete this post! Thank you and happy betting.

So far I don't have an intermediary to hold the bets and money for us but that will be finalized before the election.

Last but not least, if this is not in accordance with the rules then please delete this post! Thank you and happy betting.

I'll place a bet, but you need to find a reliable 3rd party first.

Happyfeet 10-17-2012 03:07 PM
I'd be willing to be that 3rd party, but it'd have to be organized in a spread sheet or something convenient. PM me if ya want.

bump on this - currently in talks with happyfeet to be the 3rd party.

Happyfeet has generously offered to be the 3rd party in this, and I have accepted. I hope there will be no objections. He is part of tmo and I am not. He has accused me of training before, when I was in BDA, and I have accused him of the same, so its not like we are best of friends =P. But I believe he will be a trustworthy dude.

Bet 10k on Romney based entirely on intrade.com thinking he has 40% odds rather than 33 :D

And yes, I'll gladly do the 3rd party.
