ELECTION EVE

We just took the Democratic Party To Win the US Presidential Election @ a rather paltry 9% projected return. It goes against our value mantra, but it’s pretty much a done deal… even the projected losing side has conceded in so many words.
Could’ve gotten as high as 60% a month or two ago… but we’re not fans of futures(unless they can be re-traded during the intervening time)—we lose a lot more by not being able to work that amount for such a long time… and then there’d’ve been other potential bet killers to deal with—say an unfortunate & unspeakable tragedy…

 

Besides the obvious money-making element, we feel our country needs this particular result very badly, as little by little we have become the USSR:

the Republicans have broken the trust of the American people, have made a shambles of the Constitution, and to top it all—have been generally inept. Of course, the Dumbocrats have not been blameless either—why they lost the past two general elections—neither side holds the exclusive patent on extremism & absurdity.

 

We’ll succintly leave it at that—we could expound for pages and pages on end, and this is not a political blog…although as wagerers we all have been particularly wronged by most politicians—particularly those on the Far Right.
We have nothing against core values and personal accountability—but not the trashing of Libertarianism and most of the principles our great country was founded on.

 

We’ll put up some horse plays tomorrow…. if any stand out that is….we’ll at least take a simulcast look in any case.
We’ll also soon start putting up some of our Forex & Options moves.
