  1. Intrade has a very good reputation,I have never heard of anyone not being paid.i have made various bets throughout the years and have always been paid.I once deposited 5,000 to make a bet but the odds didn't come down to where I wanted to buy so I withdrew my money and they sent it back with no problems

    I think some Vegas casinos are also taking bets on the election with similar odds

    Bad questions gets bad answers.

    People who assume investing or trading is gambling don't understand the markets. Attempting to gamble for profit is idiotic.

    Poker is not always gambling. But there are easier ways to make money.

    Trading using a backtested profitable system is not gambling.

    Bad questions sometimes provide an education, I never suggested I would take any of the gambles suggested, just an open to discussion to promote that, discussion.
