I was honestly going to place a bet on Hillary winning the election, I thought it would be a guaranteed way to make money. I didn't end up doing it. Honestly I actually wish that I did, even in hindsight.

- aaronchall 10y agoYou, given perfect knowledge, would choose to lose money? You must have more money than sense.
- nathan_f77 10y agoYep, just $100 or so. I'm not a US citizen, so I can't vote. It would just be a statement. In fact, maybe I'll donate $100 to a climate change NGO right now. There we go, that's a better statement: https://imgur.com/a/lPWRw https://imgur.com/a/lPWRw
- aaronchall 10y agoThat makes more sense. I'm glad we had this discussion.
- SyneRyder 10y agoI actually did this. Just a small amount, because any time I place bets with less than 90% probability I tend to do badly. I bet just enough that if Hillary won, she would buy me a coffee, but if she lost, at least I'd get an amazing day of TV viewing. I got an amazing day of TV, and the surge in Bitcoin's price tonight has almost balanced out my betting losses anyway.
