Now this is not the end.
It is not even the beginning of the end.
But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

New series of Taskmaster starts tonight, this time on Channel 4.
Also The Apprentice (once much loved here) has been doing a few clip shows in the absence of a series this year.
Tonight's on BBC1 is clips of the episodes where they went abroad, which were generally some of the best ones.

Basically you are expected to believe that:- some guy who identified himself as 'Hunter Biden' dropped off a laptop for repair in Delaware (Biden at the time living in California)
- the owner of the laptop store describes himself as 'legally blind'
- this 'Hunter Biden' never came back
- the laptop dude discovered photos of Biden and other allegedly incriminating stuff on the laptop
- as a concerned citizen, naturally the first place he thought to send them was...Rudy Giuliani's lawyer

Oh, and finally, the laptop was dropped off in April (allegedly)
But the files were created in September.
Presumably Hunter Biden broke into the laptop repair place at that time to create incriminating files about himself."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Loads more to do on getting the graphics up to speed - proper eye level 20k, but thats just technical stuff. The reason for doing it is there. It's kinda strange how Google, Microsoft, Apple are just letting Facebook steal the whole Western market.

Compare the actions of the actual President of the USA...with a civilian. And turn that into an exercise in whataboutery. That'll work."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Whatever about the politics, is this going to be the most money ever bet on a single market? Up to almost €150mm on the outright already on Betfair alone.
ah, google suggests the last one was the previous record so maybe I shouldn't be surprised"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

I was managing the SP's book on the night of Brexit, politics trader went home early expecting a handy Stay. It was actually quite exciting relative to the usual US sports and shit soccer overnight.
I think Brexit finished around 150-160m so 2020 will be at least 2nd.

Where's all that in the video?
Don't worry, he'll have plenty of time to improve his handicap soon.

Harry Truman understood the nature of the job. Trump has no idea ("I take no responsibility").

Where was most of the brexit money coming from, did you have any idea? Like is it all just people who like the gambool, or you get the impression it was some sort of professional money. Maybe from hedge funds?
That said, there was alot of talk at the time for both Brexit & Trump that quite a lot of institutional money was involved as the result would impact the position of some in other markets.
Obviously in relative terms 150m-200m is small beans but when reviewing SP bets that were hitting triggers you were coming across a few Cambridge/Oxford educated economists that I certainly remember as shrewd.
I was limited because I couldn't see much on the exc side but certainly it was something that I recall floated around.

So - want to go to Boyles as they have 1/2 odds vs PP 2/5. So - can I just rock into a Boyles shop this evening and write '€700 bet Biden 1/2' and they'll take it. Or might they say its too large a bet, or that I need to call back during business hours?(too many other markets)
I'm not adding any more at these prices, worst I took was a drop of 4/5. Just going to sit back and enjoy the show now.
Still some mad volume of bets for Trump that flies in the face of all available evidence. People are backing him at 15/8 enthusiastically."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

There's something weird happening that is propping up Trump prices - I'm thinking external money that needs to bet on Trump for a hedge, that is creating a falsely high price for Biden.
Would you not set up a BF exc account if you don't have one already?

Like if you're backing Trump, you have to swallow that he wins:
Arizona (33% chance)
Florida (28% chance)
Georgia (49% chance)
North Carolina (33% chance)
Ohio (49% chance)
Iowa (58% chance)
Texas (69% chance)
And then, having won ALL of these, he has to capture one of Michigan (9% chance), Wisconsin (12% chance), Pennsylvania (12% chance) or Minnesota (8% chance).
Would anyone here take 15/8 on this happening?(apart from Lazare, Collie and Dice of course)

It's disturbing in a great way. A big problem is that you need perfection in your model as a pimple on their ass and it'll seem like that pimple is about to poke your eyes out. Its all 'point of view' from what I've seen so far. So someones coming up to you and doing things to you. Its mad - they shove their breasts up to your face and you feel for at least a second before you remember otherwise that you've really got a breast shower going on. It's that sense of being there that's mad. It's still only half way there. You need better quality graphics - 8k resolution rather than the current 2k resolution, but its reasonable enough. And I guess ultimately if you were to properly commit you would need connected devices, like a fleshlight, that would be programmed to react to the movie. Thats already been done by the way. But its like nothing you've ever seen. I'd put it well ahead of strip clubs for example in terms of stimulation. But then again strip clubs aren't great at anything.
