The only decisive point in determining this contest is #3. I understand that sportsbooks need the ability to exercise discretion in cases where the results of a contest are contentious, but that discretion should be applied fairly and uniformly. Stake is paying out Biden bets on the basis that the electoral college will elect him. That should be the only criteria necessary to pay out Trump bets.

Note that I have no wager on this contest with this sportsbook. I'm just a little surprised to see this from Stake.
It should be the only one that counts.

The bet that was made was : the next President of the United States of America

So if Donald Trump gets his 270 Electoral Votes and becomes the next President, the Trump Bets should be paid out.

All markets that I've seen grade on the expected result of the Electoral College, and not the actual result. In the event of a faithless elector(s) causing a different president to be elected, sportsbooks would still grade the "real" winner as such.


All markets you've seen are probably scams if they will not pay out the official result. All licensed, legal, trusted providers like Betfair William Hill Paddy Power are withholding, the only one who made early payout is sportsbet.com because as the name implies have a lot of sport bettors that are pressuring them not knowing how the policy is. This will help them in the long run in terms of trust and know how for the political betting sector, but they should never do this again and I "bet" Smiley that they will learn a lot from this. Never let the mob get you always fight until the end and WIN WIN WIN.
