There wasn’t a lot of Melbourne Cup coverage here at XYZ, because I think it’s safe to say that at the moment, most of us are more interested in a very different kind of race. One with long odds of running above board, and some extremely tight odds of Globalist interference. The race that I’m referring to is the race to the White House.
The ramifications for those who inhabit the fantasy world at the bottom of the garden, and those who live in the reality of paying the mortgage on the house and land attached to the fairy and pixie laden world at the bottom of the garden, are remarkably and rarely aligned. For each diametrically opposed group, the event will either represent a Normandy or a Dunkirk moment in the ongoing culture war that may well be decided by the result.
On Sportsbet right now, there’s a very good option for the pragmatic Trump supporter. One that would love to see a Trump Presidency, but realises as Julian Assange indicated in a recent interview with John Pilger, that even if (or when) he does win the popular vote in a landslide, the Electoral College vote factor is so convoluted, shady, and heavily stacked against genuine democracy that Trump could easily trounce Clinton in the popular vote and in all likelihood wind up the Bridesmaid, just as Al Gore did in 2000 when he won the popular vote, but lost the Presidency.
A number of online betting agencies are offering this very attractive wager for cynical political news hounds. Forget the ‘next President’ options that only pay about $1.30 for Clinton, and $2.40 for Donald Trump unless you believe in your heart of hearts that the Electoral College System will fall in line with the will of the people. The odds of that actually happening are very slim and hardly worth a measly $2.40 back on a dollar wagered.
The most profitable (and sadly most likely) option for the Trump punter is to bet on a candidate winning the popular vote, but losing the Presidency. Most online betting sites that offer this option are paying around $6-$7 at the time of writing. Pretty enticing odds for such a likely scenario. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if George Soros has a few bucks on this outcome.
If you’re looking to hedge your bet a little more, I’d advise betting half as much again on Donald Trump to win the popular vote (though not necessarily to become President). This option inexplicably pays a higher return than the ‘Next President’ option despite the fact that there is more chance of the Republican candidate seeing a bigger percentage of the popular vote than actually ever becoming President.
I find it extremely difficult, nay impossible to buy into the mainstream media narrative that Hillary will win the popular vote. Her rallies are minuscule, and her Facebook page is brimming with negative comments garnering thousands of likes. There are virtually NO POSITIVE COMMENTS. Twelve months ago, people were embarrassed to admit that they liked Donald Trump. Four days out from the election only the most delusional and disconnected minority are standing #withher. Most of those who were along for the ride simply can no longer justify it, even to themselves.
Even her delusional celebrity backers are struggling to articulate good reasons to get out and vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton, and seem more of the pay for play variety than the genuinely enthusiastic if misguided celebrities we saw mobilise for Gore and Obama.
Granted, women may have trouble with Trump’s banter and the Billy Bush audio, but they definitely have more trouble with Bill’s actions and Hillary’s complicity in them. Trump may shoot from the hip and rub some people the wrong way, but Hillary is brazenly corrupt and seems to have an inability to even feign being somewhat human. Many who once supported her won’t be voting for Trump, but realise as Julian Assange has articulated that there simply isn’t enough dirt on the guy to warrant any genuinely disqualifying bombshells as there clearly is with Clinton. The Billy Bush audio and tax revelations were as good as it got, and make him a veritable saint compared to his opponent.
So unless their general electoral process is irreparably corrupt and the fix is entirely in (a difficult and truly depressing feat), the popular vote is a done deal for Donald Trump. All that remains are the impending acrobatics of logic from mainstream media to explain away why they couldn’t or wouldn’t predict it, and why it didn’t translate to a Trump Presidency. This is why the likelihood of collecting on a wager that the popular vote winner still not becoming President is quite likely despite relatively long odds of 6:1.
I’m not saying bet the house on it or anything. Obviously anything can happen in an election where even Occultist activity seems to be a plausible aspect. All that I’m saying is that for the Conservative/Centrist/Libertarian/Alt-Righter that likes a flutter, this is a far safer bet than trying to pick a Melbourne Cup winner. And the best bit is, if we do our dough with Trump actually winning a fixed race to become President, I can assure you that we’ll still be the happiest losing gamblers you ever saw on race day.
It’s your XYZ.
