I did - I got 5 to 1 odds and cleaned up. Not as good as the 25-1 odds I got when I bet on Holyfield to beat Tyson in '96, but I'm not complaining.
Where are all the posers who were so sure he was going to win and didn't take advantage of it?
Most books had Trump had AT MOST as a 3-1 underdog.
Monday nite I was watching Fox, when someone mentioned the Vegas odds were up to 4 1/2 to one.
Sure enough my bay area bookie confirmed, -- so I bet $250 dollars. -- This morning my bookie called and asked how he should get the $1100 dollars up to me, here in the mountains..

I told him to send me cash.
- Even Nate Silver had it at 2.5 to one, so if your bookmaker offered that, he's an idiot.
My bookie operates through the 'boys' in the Bahamas, who are far from idiots.

Since betting on elections is illegal in the US (even in Nevada), there really isn't such a thing as Vegas odds.
Vegas has oddsmakers. They post odds on many controversial events that may or may not be 'legal' to bet on, no gnu thought
There are no Las Vegas odds on elections. Nothing that is sanctioned. To cite "Las vegas" odds on an election is just stupid. ---- I've lived in Nevada and worked in casinos there.
Winning $1100 is not stupid, -- but apparently, having lived in Vegas hasn't made you smart enough to realize that fact.
