I placed a bet for the election 2024. The bet was GOP 215+ (+10000) ELECTORAL COLLEE WINNING MARGIN. I placed a risk $20 bet for a win of $2000. I been waiting for the election to finalize and I noticed it took a while. I reached out to so many different agent regarding my bet because in the beginning I did not understand what the bet that I placed meant. Every time I talk to an agent regarding this bet (Ref. 24112020034153), they all tell me a different reasons and stories. 1 agent told me this bet means that GOP will hold at least 215 or more seat during the election. Another agent told me this bet means the total votes GOP will have in the end of the election. Another agent also told me that this bet does not finalize until the president is in office which is in January. Then later tonight I talk to another agent and ask them why is my bet already finalize and mark as a loss bet. They said that this bet means Trump has 312 electoral votes and Harris has 226. You need to take 312 subtract 226 and it equals 86. That means this bet in their words mean GOP need to have 215+ in differences between 226 and 312. Bro!!! The heck? They told me as of this moment GOP is ahead in 86 electoral votes. Not 215+ votes. What the hell. Clearly that’s not what the other agent said. And clearly they all make up a bunch of difference stories and ideas for us not to get pay. Stupid!!! One person said GOP needs to hold 215+ seat, while another said the numbers is based on the differences between 226 and 312. Mind Blowing. BOVADA be more clear please
As far as confusion among the Chat Support, I think this is common and has been this way for quite a while honestly. The Moderators in the Community can probably give you the exact context for your wager (which I would have clarified prior to betting).
The Electoral College doesn’t have “seats”, it has electors that vote within their representative states for President / Vice President based on the will of their state’s citizens.
Based on the 100-1 odds, I would expect this to mean that one candidate would have 215 or more Electoral College votes than their opponents. Given the partisan makeup of several large states with many Electoral votes, this wager would be EXTREMELY difficult for any candidate to pull off in today’s US political climate.
