I didn’t want to make a whole topic for this, but my offer was deleted by a Biden supporter—whereas I am not even a Trump supporter!

I'm thinking that Biden is going to win by a landslide.

My 0.01 BTC bet on even odds that Donald J. Trump will win the 2020
U.S. Presidential Election.

Reference number:
db4b57d9dd5779b04988bd4520de55f44f84d76fd7d594a6ea53f49bb8ce380e

# Terms:

0. This bet shall NOT be construed as my political or moral endorsement of
Trump in any way. For the record, I despise the man (for reasons quite
different than those of the TDS crowd). But I predict that he will win,
and I will wager accordingly.

1. If the election results are officially contested in any way, then
the bet will be resolved by waiting to see who actually takes office
for the next U.S. presidential term.

Otherwise, the loser of the bet shall pay it promptly after the election
results are announced, and the losing candidate concedes or otherwise
indicates acceptance thereof. For reference: The election is scheduled
for 2020-11-03.

2. If theymos does not accept this offer within 48 hours from the PGP
signature time hereof, then this wager is null and void.

3. If Trump himself is removed from the running before the end of
2020-11-03 due to death, incapacity, or any other reason, then this
wager is null and void. Note: This wager is about whether or not
Trump wins. If Biden is removed from the running, then the wager will
remain in effect.

4. If theymos accepts this wager, then I will provide to him a PGP
signed message with a Bitcoin address (native Segwit) that he shall use
for payment if I win. For blockchain privacy reasons, I will request,
but not require, that he not publicize this address unless any dispute
arises over the wager.

Additional comments:

I halfway expect for theymos to decline or to ignore this. Perhaps he just doesn’t want to bet. On the other hand, he thinks that Biden will win “by a landslide”, as a practical matter—even though he doesn’t seem to be a Biden supporter; so why not bet?

On the flipside, as aforesaid, I despise Trump; but I think that he will win. It is a good match for a wager.

Others will be moderated according to my sound discretion.

@nullius before I begin I would like to state that I have been supporting Trump since quiet a while now, and personally I feel that @theymos will not accept this bet.

However if he does accept then this bet will be one of the most epic bet ever placed on Bitcointalk (call me biased about the epic ness of this, bet but this is what I personally feel).

Furthermore at this stage I feel that Trump can only win by taking the election results to the court, otherwise it’s difficult if not impossible for him to win.

Also I have come to this conclusion because Trump doesn’t have the backing of the Indo American voters who’s votes will be crucial, and lastly his filthy air remark for India hasn’t gone well hence I feel that he’ll loose the elections.
