Betting on Politics: Predictit is NOT Dead

I have like $500 room on that market and realllly tempted to redeposit but fuck it IDK, after fees can barely be anything, maybe I’ll pray something resolves.

Watch a few minutes of Fox News lol… They’re basically pushing a narrative that Trump has a path to victory.

Lol, while logged in I was looking at other markets. Saw Esper as next WH Cab member to leave at 35c and thought it was a decent deal. Didn’t pull the trigger. Not even 5 minutes later and it’s announced he’s leaving.

Did the market already settle? I can’t find it.

It’s crazy you can still make money betting on an election that’s over. Basically you’re betting on whether there’s gonna be a coup in the USA.

Georgia is basically over right? I might have to deposit more to double max it lol… Only in for $500 so far.

right wingers are seizing on to any claims of illegal votes or votes that shouldn’t count or whatever the shit else. They still have money apparently.

also regarding when things are over–nothing is over until it’s signed off by the sec of state

all that said, NV 90 is even more stupid. Even if they throw out a ton of ballots at this point he probably still loses. Joe’s up nearly 3% LOL.

I only saw this at 50 and went eh, I’ll look it at it tomorrow, LOL me

It’s weird that we can bet on an election that already happened.

I sold off a winner for a slight gain rather than wait for resolution just so that I could throw it in NV at 0.89.

Also considering re-deposit to max GA but decided against it. Assuming I calculated this right, after 10% vig and 5% withdrawal fee a 0.85 price resolving to 1 results in a ~10% profit so it’s probably worth it.

Nevermind, I couldn’t resist. I’m now double-maxed on GA (got some at 83 and 84c) and single maxed on AZ and NV (would be double but other side is capped). Amazingly all three are trading in the mid-low 80s right now. I didn’t like the idea of this money potentially being tied up for weeks but figured the ROI is worth it.

Trump NO in PA now down to .83, WAT

yeah im loading back up my predictit account

What kind of new betting markets do people expect to see open post-inauguration?

lolol according to the commenters this is actually a sell-off driven by “massive SJW panic” because of Trump’s statements over the weekend, what a fucking world
