    The bookies pay out anyway? or delay?

    I would only be risking at most 1k anyway so it's not a major deal for me.
    Not quite why I'm reluctant to bet as it does seem like free money....hmmm.
    Sure ring up PP there and ask the question. Would be good to have it called out.

    I have my bets on with 6 different bookies

    Bet365 has no info beyond 'to win US presidential election'
    Ladbrokes is same
    Boyles is same
    Betway is same
    Betfred is same

    888 is more helpful:
    US Presidential Election 202011/20
    Winner decided by who reaches the required number of Electoral Votes on Election day. If there is no clear winner on election day the offer will be settled as soon as a candidate is projected to win beyond reasonable doubt
    the above is similar to what Betfair have. I think that's how all bets would be settled but if you can get someone like PP to confirm, that would be good.

        Ironically, Denny and I were booked into Shanahans for the Friday night after the election so we could have tried to replicate it in minature...cancelled now.

          Would love to go on some sort of an skite all the same

          Last weekend I came home to a surprise take away from our local fancy restaurant two cooks in Sallins who had a Japanese chef in and were doing a sushi and ramen takeaway, was one of the best moments of the last six months! Amazing food, a few weeks ago they had an Indian chef in but I missed that and they are now taking a few weeks off. I really hope they manage to survive the crisis.

            Oh I know GPS location has a huge amount to do with it but I also believe they are listening as well.

            it's no surprise that they do this, it so commonly known. I guess it's just equally impressive as it is scary at how good they are at it.

                                I feel like an argument for/against golf or even something about the GAA as an elite sport is something Hitch could really have a bit of fun with on Twitter.

                                              Not sure what the rules around aftertiming on behalf of someone else are, but.

                                              One of my customers was up with me on Saturday, when he left he popped into PP and stuck a €4 acca on, 8x horses.

                                              Said he was in a hurry and didn't give it much thought.

                                              Collected €14,800.

Surely as a public figure the first thing in your head in a situation like that is that it's a set-up But that's selection bias on my part, as the only time I see it is when it's a set-up. Maybe it works out differently for people like Rudy and DSK.

                                                                              Either way, it's a still that's part of the marketing of the movie. I'm just a little bit skeptical. Maybe he was just leaning back tucking in his shirt

                                                                                    I think the leadup to this scene is basically Borat + daughter having dinner with Rudy. I wonder did her alleged age get mentioned in that preceding scene?

                                                                                    That would put a whole new gloss on things..... Wonder was Rudy, like his boss, a close personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein?

                                                                                        What is the long term mindset of companies with regards to working from home.

                                                                                        Has this event made it a more acceptable long term option or do companies expect people back in the office some time in late 2021 to early 2022 as normal.

                                                                                        I have some feedback from companies but not quite sure it's representative of the broader view.

Its about the different way of doing business in former soviet block. giuliani does loads of business over there so is presumably swimming in gee and doesn't even think twice about it. Fairly standard to cement deals over there with the offer of hookers. My former colleague was saying that when he was running a bank that did business in Russia, every single evening drinks meeting was accompanied by hookers waiting outside his hotel room. As in they considered it rude not to offer a round of hookers on the house.
