he will make more money by winning than by losing

assuming he wins, which isn’t a guarantee for any tory at this point

“he’s hedged his bets” isn’t the justification you think it is

so to check, you’re fine with a football player betting against themselves, so long as they then happen to win?

yes because “remaining an elected mp for the tories” and “not doing that” represent equal propositions in terms of effort, time and resources

no motive for them to do so

I can think of 8000 motives

This isn’t some no-name who’s scraped their way in after years of effort; he’s been the candidate since 2005.

Placing a bet against himself is absolutely the kind of thing that could jeopardize both his candidacy going forward, and his election chances. So “he wouldn’t do all that just to throw it away” is nonsense.

The man has literally given himself financial incentive not to win and you don’t see how that kind of conflict of interests is an issue? Are you real?

to be fair, the testing surface is significantly more varied in a game than in the average application

your average api is probably stateless, and input probably tops out at like 100 lines of json

a game uses probably like 8gb of memory to store its state
