Betting on elections - legitimate financial markets have a way!

[ExtraSlow]

So, I know a lot of folks like to discuss politics, and THIS IS NOT THE THREAD FOR THAT!!!

I also know a lot of you guys are degenerate gamblers, and would bet on the WNBA if the odds were right. This is your thread.

so, turns out you can buy "investments" that are essentially bets on the ourcome of the US presidential election. How amazing is this? I'd like to buy these in my TFSA!

So if you bet on a Mexican wall contract and now it just vaporized becuase Trump just said some Mexican illegals are fine, you lose?
