Great to meet top US political punter who has flown over to have £100k on the GOP to hold on to a House majority.

Robert Barnes: Polling firms still producing dodgy results to satisfy partisan media outlets

A big time gambler who won on Brexit and Trump is so confident that the polls are wrong and that Republicans will maintain control of the House that he has traveled to London to bet $130,000 on the outcome.

Trial lawyer Robert Barnes’ wager that the GOP will retain Congress is relatively large given that “the entire U.S. primaries betting market is in the single millions in the U.K. and Ireland,” according to Bloomberg.

UK bookies Ladbrokes even tweeted out a picture of Barnes to mark the occasion.
