A while back a load of people on twitter were really adamant that certain states were going to "flip" from Biden to Trump. Some of them claimed to be really certain that it was going to happen. I decided to call people out on it and I asked if there was anyone there who dared to bet me a thousand dollars that Arizona would officially flip. Most of them went quiet but this one woman was like "yeah, I will take that bet" and so we had a bit of a debate and we laid out the terms of the bet. There were a number of states that were already "in play" which were - I think - Arizona, Wisconsin and maybe Michigan, and as well as that there were some states which could come into play if they took certain steps such as performed an audit or whatever. Our bet was that for every state that was "in play" according to the rules that we laid out, the deadline was the end of this year and for each such state that was officially recognised as now being counted for Trump, I would have to pay her one thousand dollars, whereas for each state that didn't flip, she would have to pay me one thousand dollars.
A little while back she seemed to kinda disappear and I assumed that she was gonna just sort of quietly drift away, but, fair enough, she has resurfaced and she swaers that she is a woman of her word and that, if nothing chnages in the next three weeks or whatever it is, she WILL pay me a thousadn dollars for each contested state that doesn't flip.
Now, as far as I can see there isn't even a millionth of one percent of a chance that any state is gonna flip so, come the new year, it's simply a matter of totting up which states are and are not in play. I'm not gonna argue too much on that though, if a complete stranger honours this insane bet she made and pays me three or four k then I won't get bogged down in try8ing to argue she ought to pay me more.
What do you reckon, what are the chances she actually pays me? Also, if she does pay me, what account should I give her to pay into? I don't want to get scammed so maybe best not to use my real bank accts. What if I just gave her my paypal address, is that secure but possible for her to pay thousands of dollars into it?
