Overview
xQc Lost a $700,000 Bet on Kamala Harris winning the election on November 5th, 2024, a day after the streamer publically posted about betting on the Democratic candidate winning the 2024 Presidential Elections on Stake. In a November 4th, 2024 tweet, xQc wrote, "THIS BETTER HIT LMFAO, THE ODDS WERE TOO GOOD," adding, "DONT GET MAD I CANT EVEN VOTE IM CANADIAN." xQc attempted to cash out his bet the day of the election before Trump was officially recognized as the winner, but still lost over $700,000.
