I'm not a big gambler, but I remember in my younger years if you placed a bet, wether it was a horse race, a football game or whatever.. to determine who won was always based on the 'official' results.
In this case Trumps reported weight is not real, and it damn sure isn't 'official'. It's just a number that the insecure asshole wrote down.
So what would the betting house do?
Would they pay based on Trumps number or would they just cancel all bets?

would cancel the bets.

(11,640 posts)5. That was my guess too
But I don't gamble so I thought someone who is a gambler would have a good idea on how the betting house would handle it
Hey there GP, hope you are doing well!

Since very few would have chosen that weight and height, they would have had to pay out very few winning bets.
Over/under bet.
