Betting on the California recall
Me | 9/12/2021 | Me

Started to get a bad feeling about the recall and figured I’d place an emotional hedge bet for Newsom that I’d be thrilled to lose. The betting odds are now so heavily in his favor that’s it’s not even worth it. A $10 bet for 40c in winnings. I only bet a literal few bucks at a time in sports whenever I’m watching with family, so I’d have to bet my entire modest bankroll for nearly $6.

I thought instead about placing my money on Elder, which is paying about 10 to 1. Then, I checked Trafalgar, the pollster I trust the most, and they have it breaking hard for the No’s now, about a 10 point gap.

It’s really depressing. I know there will be talk about cheating and all, but California is really a failed state with a hopelessly unreachable leftist majority. This shouldn’t be much of a surprise as so many people are fleeing.

If this goes how I fear it will, I hope it serves as a wake-up call to the many remaining holdouts to relocate to redder pastures. There is no hope for that state. You’d sooner convert ISIS to Christianity than bring around most of these commies. They will never internalize the dystopian hellscape that they’ve created for themselves and change. That said, you might as well get out and vote for Elder if you haven’t already.

The fact that the democrats have to throw everything and everybody at this recall election slams Gavin Newsom into the ground for the rest of his term. His reputation is ruined.

Not every election loss is a steal.

Kalifornia is a communist state.

These horse races are a total distraction. Our system is corrupt when it matters so much as to who is in office.

And when democrats complain it is because they want more marxism.

How do you bet on stuff like that? Is it legal?

Yes, it is legal.

One of the bigger betting sites is www.predictit.com

If the votes had been honestly counted last November, I was positioned to win big on that site. I dropped off shortly thereafter and will never return because of fraud and corruption. Even when you win, you still lose.

You can’t underestimate the power of the media.

The quality of a representative government will never exceed the quality of the press.
