Even though I voted for Trump in 2016 I was destroyed live wagering Hillary. That did not deter me last night.
I had a couple preflop bets on Biden and then I started live wagering Biden. It got out of control but value is value. Anyone familiar with Betonline will recognize this. I placed 20 bets by the end of the night.
A few of my favorites. Like pictures of my kids frankly. So proud. So sick.
I even saw +300 Biden but I pushed myself away from the table.
For a brief period around 11pm, I believe, I saw Trump -115. I came so close to hedging but was curious if Trump would become a dog. Then it rose and rose to Trump -200 by the time I went to bed. I was married to Biden.
I wake up and I see +375 Trump. Yes, I hedged.
Nothing I saw last night made any sense. I was whipping thru the channels and nothing I saw correlated to the crazy swings live. I am still mystified what was driving the market. I somewhat believe with predicitit down people were hedging with the books.
Someone will offer an explanation someday and it will be palm to forehead. I suspect that at the root of things was the fact that political wagering just became very very public. Very trendy.
