Yeah, that seems right to me. I mean, you have a decent

Still, is $2k or $4.5k really that interesting? -- BocaHoo91 01/24/2024 12:29PM

Honestly, I couldn’t bet on Trump to win in good conscience -- WahooMatt05 01/24/2024 11:39AM

You *could* structure the bets such that a Trump win = breaking even and -- CharlestonSC 01/24/2024 11:42AM
