sonatine: if thats true, im impressed.
Thank you Thank you, Snake_in_the_ass.
Exactly the move I made, except I didn't make quite as much (only because I couldn't deposit more for some reason)
I saw it in the morning and wagered almost everything I had on Tradesports. I then went to one of my jobsites to finish up some bullshit, and by afternoon I headed back home and tried to deposit more so I could buy some more shares. Back then, it was normally pretty damn easy to use a regular credit card to make a deposit on a site like that; only this time it wasn't working...i called TS Customer service but i couldn't get a straight answer why it wasn't accepting my card all of the sudden. I called the CC company but I was afraid to divulge much info for fear they would cancel me or something if they found out what it was for. Turns out the CC company just put a standard hold on it because they thought it was suspicious activity, but by the time I got it resolved and unlocked, it was pretty much too late, otherwise I would have most definitely made a shit ton more.
I ended up making about $6200 with the shares I did have, so it was still not a bad day at all. I just kicked myself repeatedly for not being able to deposit more. What can ya do?
Anyway, maybe shut your fucking pie hole next time Corrigan until you have all of the information you fucktard
frickin DOOFUS
Oh, and drink a pint of bleach too if you can, k? thanks.
Is there a Tradesports-esque site open these days?

Trump absolutely, positively will not win in a landslide.
Those claiming this will happen are delusional.
If anyone might win in a landslide, it will be Hillary. If she takes Florida, NC, and perhaps even Ohio (though that one is likely going Trump), it will start to look landslide-ish.
But honestly, nobody is winning in a real landslide.
Remember when Reagan took 49 of 50 states in 1984? That's never happening again -- at least not for a very long time. The country is too divided and partisan now. There are too many states which are solidly one way or the other, and will just about never vote the other way.
Say what you will about "progress" in our modern times, but politically we seem to have regressed. People were more open-minded 30 years ago regarding which candidate they would vote for, and weren't as locked in to party loyalism. There was also a lot more emphasis on character regarding Presidential candidates in those days. Remember when Gary Hart had his political fortunes completely destroyed over a few silly photos in the Enquirer of him having an affair? That would never happen today.
Morallly questionable candidates like Hillary and Trump wouldn't have had a chance 30 years ago.
Anyway, Trump has made a few inroads in PA, but is probably losing there. If given another 2 months, he might be able to win over PA, but he's out of time.
He's also getting close in Colorado, but again I don't think it will be quite enough. He's got a better shot there than in PA, though.
I think Trump will take IA, OH, AZ, GA, and even Nevada is starting to look good for him.
New Hampshire has lurched into Trump territory, and he is now a favorite there.
He's also looking like the favorite in NC.
However, he's got a Florida problem. He's looking worse and worse there, and hasn't had an unbiased poll showing him leading in quite some time.
Trump can actually win now without Colorado, thanks to his turnaround in NH.
If he takes FL, OH, NC, IA, AZ, GA, NH, NV, and Maine district 2, then he wins VERY narrowly -- 270 to 268.
If the election goes exactly as current poll results show, Hillary wins 297-241.
However, if Trump flips Florida, he narrowly wins with 270 as described above.
The absolute maximum I see Trump finishing with is 299 -- if he flips FL, CO, and PA. Beyond that, pretty much everything is out of reach. I don't believe he has a shot in the so-called toss-up states of VA, MI, and WI.
Let me say this, though.
Florida is a strange animal. It's kinda hard to predict in some ways.
If Trump does manage to outdo the current polls and win there, which isn't out of the realm of possibility, then Hillary has real problems.
This is because she will need to win a state where she's currently polling behind. So if Trump wins Florida and can hold every state where he's polling ahead, Hillary loses by 2 electoral votes.
And James Comey will be found dead of an unexpected heart-related ailment.
AZ and GA in play... LOL
Trump is going to get smoked

One more note:
Trump has suddenly moved ahead in New Hampshire, as I mentioned above.
This is significant because Bernie was REALLY popular there, due to the state's proximity to Vermont.
There is some talk that Trump's recent bump was due to the Wikileaks exposing the various shady ways Hillary achieved unfair edges over Bernie, such as obtaining debate questions in advance from CNN's Donna Brazile. It's said that some Bernie bots, who had conceded the necessity of voting for Hillary, are angry again and are refusing to support her now.
If Trump wins, and if NH's 4 electoral votes prove key to that win, it will be notable in a few ways:
1) Bernie Sanders will have done exactly what he was trying NOT to do -- cause Hillary to lose the general election, albeit indirectly.
2) Russia (provided they were the ones guilty) really will have swayed the Presidential election.
3) NH will have once again been key to a Republican winning, for the 2nd time in 5 election cycles. In 2000, Bush beat Gore in part due to Gore's fooilsh neglect of NH as a campaign stop. It is unclear why Gore ignored New Hampshire. Even fellow Democrats were irritated with him late in the campaign season when he refused to visit there. He ended up losing by just 7,211 votes, and that cost him the election. Hillary is attempting to make nice over in NH and avoid Al Gore's mistakes, but it looks like her unfair treatment of Bernie will burn her -- at least in that state.
I think they were ultimately bought out by some other outfit several years ago, but right now i cant remember who. If my memory serves me, I tried researching who bought them/what happened to them several years ago, and i think i had figured out what happened, but for the life of me at this moment I cannot remember the results I came up with. Shit was changing around so much between poker sites/betting sites at the time, I just didn't keep up. I do remember that Tradesports was based in Ireland (At least that's what I think i remember)

Not really.
Hillary hasn't polled ahead of Trump in those states in ANY recent poll, not even the Democrat-leaning polls.
She's not winning those, just as Trump isn't winning VA/MI/WI.
For some reason, the media likes to pretend that MI and WI are battleground states. They've done this for the last 4 election cycles, and every time the go Democrat. This will be no different.
