That CANT be your bet.

Good lord you are bad at this.

We have a line bet going on here. The line is 21-Celebrities. If you take the over, and 22 or more celebrities threaten to emigrate - you win. Low odds since a win will be post-impeachment - liberal heads will explode so expect a LOT of threats. Payoff odds are only 1 to 1. A ten dollar bet will only win you ten bucks.
That's why I'm taking the 'over' - not much risk and I'm sure to win a few bucks.

If you bet the 'under' and 20 or less celebrities threaten to emigrate - you win. The odds are a little higher on this one - I'm saying 5 to 1 odds. In 2016 everyone thought Hillary was going to crush DJT. Even with the election "in the bag" for Hillary, folks were worrying and we still had well over 20 well known celebrities (and a supreme court Justice) threatening to emigrate. Thats why the odds are higher and the line is lower - to get all the suckers to bet on the under hoping for a bigger payoff. 2020 is a different game with different rules. Nobody expects the liberals to sit quietly on the sidelines - so a win would bring you 50 bucks.

If you bet 21 and exactly 21 celebrities threaten to emigrate - you win big. The odds might be as high as 10 to 1. That same ten spot would win you a hundred bucks.
...but - its risky.


Regardless - you cant just bet that Baldwin will explode all over the SNL crowd while Damon gets freeze dried and shipped off like airport luggage.

Those aren't even real bets - thats just being mean spirited - and you're better than that. The Bernie angle is worth looking into though - he's already had one heart attack this season and it's looking like the DNC is gearing up to treat him like the Indians treated Custer. The humiliation would be epic enough to pull a few bucks worth of Bernie-Breakdown side bets...
