My mate rings me last night, 9PM - Dazza, you know about politics, I want to put £100 on Trump to win £570, Hillary is 1/5-on £100 to win £120 back. "Don't be daft - she'll win certainly." says me. :oops::oops:

I've fired off an e-mail to Donald, asking if he'll allow Netent and Microgaming back for the other 47 states lol...:D

Seriously, as in the UK the Polls are hideously wrong again. Why haven't they seen the pattern? As here the US media have demonized and attempted to marginalize those of right-wing persuasions so they mumble embarrassedly in the polls "I don't know how I'm voting" but in the last untouched bastion of a skewed Democracy, the ballot box, they can act without pressure and express how they really feel.

Still, as he's half-Scottish I'm sure Donald will have fun with Nicola Sturgeon :D:D:D when he visits his golf course there.

Well crooked Hillary - Trump's dumped on you from a great height. I can't help smiling...
 
Yet again Nigel Farage backed a winner!

I have just listened to his speech and it seemed very optimistic as far as relations with the likes of Russia goes. He kept calling it a "movement" as apposed to a political party. Its like he is distancing himself from old politics.
Time will tell but I want to be optimistic

PS. I hope the Clinton Foundation is investigated fully and the Clinton's thrown in jail
 
best news this year, after all the third one may not knock yet with its nuclear power. certainly could have happened over hillary wishes to install no-fly-zones near russian bases in syria leading to nothing but disaster. now that he is crowned he may need the list of untouchables and never forget the kennedy pattern of disobedient do-gooder.
 
You're certainly going to get something different. Not quite sure you will like it.
 
I can't help wondering whether the mostly virulently anti-Trump US media, polls and celebrity support for Clinton was overdone to the extent that it actually pushed voters the other way.

The fact that his own Republican party gave him so little support makes the win all the more surprising.

Whatever the cause, it was a quite remarkable late turnaround and a significant victory following very hostile election campaigning by two of the most disliked candidates (depending on who you supported) I believe we have yet seen in US elections.

At least Trump has had the good sense to make his victory speech about embracing all Americans and uniting the nation...whether the political establishment will go along with that or remain locked in Congressional conflict remains to be seen.
 
Truly astounding. I'm surprised that the DNC didn't see this coming, however. They had a clear path to victory with Bernie but opted for Hillary instead because it was "her turn". They chose the one candidate that Donald could win against.

Very worried for my American friends. Republican presidencies have historically been catastrophic, and with Donald as the figurehead this time around, I can't say I'm too optimistic.
 
So Trump did it, and out of the 2 candidates Trump was the lesser of the two evils for me personally.
Clinton had the US media paid off, and the reason the world hated Trump as much as they do was because of all the crap the controlled media spouted.
But with the emails that were dumped by WikiLeaks and the corrupt corporate and banking system and international war machine that the Clintons are part of, America finally seen through it and wanted a change.
Lets hope now Trump, stops the war provoking with Russia and China, and puts an end to Wall Street corruption.
 
For many around the world America is full of idiots and this election result just solidifies this view.

When looking back through history I expect this will be the start of the big decline for the USA and it deserves everything it gets.

Jetset and Lotusch. :thumbsup:

We are so manipulated by the main stream media and have been for so long that folk are beginning to wake up and smell the roses. We seen it during the referendum and we have seen it today. Wikileaks are the enemy of the establishment,not for reasons of security but because they champion honesty and openness
 
I also heard Paddy Power paid out some big money on Trump bettors.
A colleague at work told me this morning it was in and around 4 million Euro's they had to pay out to punters.
Ouch! :D
 
I can imagine Trump this morning....


Oh shit!! I actually won:eek: What the hell do I do now:confused:

It would have been what Farage had thought had he woke up and found UKIP had actually won a parliamentary majority against all the odds in our last election.
 
I am not the least bit happy with any of it. Stock markets are in an uproar. My little retirement account took a big hit I cannot afford. Oh joy! A man that can't keep his casinos out of bankruptcies now in charge of a nation already in debt up to its ass. I hope to goodness someone can keep him muzzled. Did I vote for Hillary? Just another career politician, and we have enough of those already.

In protest I voted for Johnson.

I fear we are on a precipice.
 
I expect that Trump will loosen up the laws on online gambling in the USA as well as bring online gambling up to date with modern expectations

I actually expect the opposite.

He has many many close friends in the land based casinos. Those friends are the ones that fought to get online gambling banned because they were losing so much business. One of his best friends is Steve Wynne.

So I highly doubt anything will change

Im more surprised by your short post than Trump winning :)

Quite right. Republicans (faux or not) dominating the White House, House of Representatives and the Senate is a disaster for online gambling in the US. I foresee RAWA appearing on Trump's agenda very soon - don't forget he's basically in Sheldon Adelson's pocket, no matter what he claims. Expect iGaming to be outlawed in Nevada, New Jersey and Delaware within a year or two - and that would probably place question marks against Daily Fantasy Sports to boot.
 
Other than that the results for online gambling will most probably NOT be favourable, I am more worried about Trump's hate and fear mongering without offering any clear, solid solutions that can actually be implemented without causing (amongst others) even more uncertainty (trade policies) and disparities in wealth.

I concur with this German author's note:

Dear Americans,
Go ahead, vote for the guy with the loud voice who hates minorities, threatens to imprison his opponent, doesn’t give a fuck about democracy, and claims he alone can fix everything. What could possibly go wrong?

But you can only rail against progress for so long before your accused rightly of having a corrupt agenda. There are many examples of land based casino's around the world that are increasing their profits exponentially by branching out into the online world

There are many examples of the money men exploiting events such as today to manipulate the markets in order to make a killing. Just look at what happened after brexit. I bet your pension funds will be safe before long

Ok but thats different.

Trump will do whats in the best interest of his personal friends on this matter. He was a casino owner himself. All his close friends are. There is no way he allows anything to be approved unless it benefits them.

Yes but he also now has the power to dictate the terms of online gambling more in line with his buddies liking.
