Ms. Harris improved slightly as Ms. Klobuchar fell, moving to 6/4 from 6/5 odds.

Has she thought about a little black face?

[Huskrrrr]

Weighing being President after Joe ‘leaves’ and being on the ticket with a groper.

[Dilbert San Diego]

I don’t get it. Trump has a 48.6% chance of election, and Biden 43%?

Don’t the two percentages have to add up to 100%? Is there any other candidate who has a chance of being elected?

Isn’t there a 100% chance that either Trump or Biden or going to be elected?

I understand this is a gambling site however are we saying that close to 10% of betters are laying money down that someone besides Trump or Biden or going to be elected?

I think that Biden wanted Klobuchar, but the party wants someone browner. The thing is that whoever it is has to be credible as a president, given Biden’s state. That leaves...... no one?

[babble-on]

they’re both old and showing real signs of mental and physical decay.

[RockyTx]

what does ‘6/4’ mean?

please be as specific and complete as possible

thanks

I believe Amy Klobo is the best of the VP lot, but she’s too toxic

she is fighting back since her career and image is on the line... I hope she drags the Dem party with her, as they are responsible for this cop being on the force after many complaints.

[CJ Wolf]

How about the football player that kneels?

[kevcol]

6/4 is essentially 3:2 odds. Means that in 5 possible outcomes (add both numbers) in 3 of them (first number) she is the pick, 2 of them (second number) she is not. So 3 out of 5, 60%.

Odds of 1/9 or 1:9 would be 10% chance.

[Cobra64]

3/2.

[Vigilanteman]

It is probably a good thing. Klobuchar is a Hillary Jr. hiding behind a Minnesota Nice mask who could attract the Soccer Mom demographic.

Isn’t there a 100% chance that either Trump or Biden or going to be elected?

No. There are other possibilities in addition to Trump, Biden and the long-shot Libertarian and Green Party candidates.

It could still be PTBNL (A player to be named later).

Trump will be 74 years old on Election Day and Biden 77.

70-somethings pay a lot more for their life insurance than 20-somethings, for a reason.

And while the odds are that Biden will make it to Election Day, his mind may not. In addition, something completely unforeseen, like the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs, can always happen.

The oddsmakers know it's not 100%.

Bovada has:

Trump -120
Sleepy Joe +120 (Crooked Hillary 25-1)

lowest odds for Electoral College outcome:
Trump by 100-150 EVs @ 6-1

The Demonicrats can’t pick anyone for VP who is able to walk and chew gum at the same time. FlatlineJoe can’t have anyone who appears more competent then him.

For the VP slot on the Demonicrat ticket, look in the forest for some type of log or near a cliff for a large rock, but make sure it is able to act dumber than it looks.

[MHT]

Good. She’s a dork, the kind who snorts instead of laughs, especially at her own jokes. She also has a HORRIBLE monotone and strange accent. Listening to her is painful.

[Sooth2222]

That leaves...... no one?

Kamala Harris is the correct color, and AFAIK has no penis, so she meets the basic VP criteria.

A problem is her candidacy is her career as a prosecutor, and sending POC to prison for minor marijuana offenses, and then going home and smoking marijuana herself, to relieve the stress and anxiety of sending POC to prison for minor marijuana offenses.

So maybe Stacey "Runway Supermodel" Abrams?

sportsbook 6/4
u put 4 at risk with your bookie,
if you win he pays you 6, if you lose, you pay 4

horses 6/4
you buy a 4 ticket to win, if that happens
you get 6 back, if not, zero

or not,
I am trying to figure it out
the two are not the same

thanks

[MagUSNRET]

Well, there goes the Elvis and ButtheD ticket

[babble-on]

No, he’s already said definitely it’s a chick. He’s sniffing around still.
