I think confidence should be notched back down unfortunately. Biden’s lead in Nevada is 7,647 votes, that could vanish so easily, and lock in a Trump victory. WTF America.

Losing Nevada won’t lock in a Trump victory, it just eliminates one path to a Biden to victory. Biden could still win with PA or GA.
Also worth noting many of the remaining Nevada votes are from predominantly blue areas.
It’s still frustratingly uncertain right now though.

Bold move. This is the same agency that incorrectly paid out on an Australian federal election (even prior to election day) just last year.

This is probably a publicity stunt by the bookmaker. The gambling industry doesn’t give away money without expecting a return.

Preposterous. A good bookie never pays out until the event is over.
