Americans can now invest in election outcomes

This is HUGE

Americans can now invest in election outcomes

Not only are these money markets more accurate than rigged polls, but now there is a MUCH stronger legal framework to file lawsuits against election fraud

If someone loses millions b/c of a rigged election, courts will hear their case like they would any securities fraud case

No more BS dismissals based on “lack of standing” like we saw in 2020 - they have a direct financial loss/damage from the rigged election

There’s a reason Biden tried to keep this illegal as long as possible but the courts overruled him

Huge. Just huge.

Had not thought about this angle, but I could see it.

How exactly does this work, and how is it different from going to the sports book?

It sounds like it isn’t different from the sports book.

Way back when, I recall college players prosecuted for point shaving. This was different from today — no court believed they were employees.

Maybe the scholarship required them to try their best at all times — I don’t know.

I would think a professional player’s contract would require the player to do his best.

I assume money was not refunded.

The horse race protest of a few years ago comes to mind also —I think the only thing it would have changed would be the stud fees. The bets were paid off.

Electing any politican is a gamble. It was only natural that the DNC, CIA and State Deptartment became the USG abd DOJ their enforcers.
