Betting on Politics: Predictit is NOT Dead

I just woke up which one am I supposed to buy/sell now?

Where do you live? I thought you were on the east coast of the US. Not that I’ve never woken up at 3pm before or anything…

I’m not smart enough to trade swings like you guys, but I imagine it has to be unbelievably soft if you know what you’re doing.

B4 will be certified, but it’s by less than 200 votes and I assume there will be a recount. So staying away for now. It’s trading at close to 80c

Bodog/Bovada actually paid out today on Biden to win Georgia FWIW.

So basically Trump is a penny stock on PI right now?

Deplorables love penny stocks, it’s like 50% of my dad’s portfolio.

Baller, I like it. That’s strong. Even my degenerate ass sets an alarm for 11:30am so I can pretend I’m slightly less of a degen than I am :).

Holy shit he accepted the bet. Waiting to hear if he’s willing to escrow. I initially said Biden will be president at 12:01 on 1/20/2021, but I should make it by the end of the day since that is the true nature of the bet and there may be variance with the time, right?

B4 is going to go to like 90 in an hour and 15 mins, but I’m not interested in risking it to time the market. It’s worth <<< 80 imo. I’m a value investor. I’ll try to get in at the best price possible on the best market available.

Yeah and make sure you say pm. Just say Biden will be POTUS by like 2pm EST on 1/20/21. Don’t let a slow oath-taking ceremony screw you.

Fuck I shouldn’t have worded it that way when I offered the bet. He’s 100% accepting based on the 12:01pm wording and will try to collect if its later than that even though I posted a clarification after the fact.

Yeah decent chance Roberts and/or Biden fumble around a bit and it’s like 12:04pm.

Nah, he’s still at fifteen cents. Eight cents to win GA, lol.

I thought there was a 0% chance he’d accept so I was cocky and matched the verbiage that’s been posted here a lot. Oh well, hopefully we run good and get it done on time.

Make sure he doesn’t try to get you on AM/PM. If he’s sworn in at 12:02pm EST and he won’t pay and demands you pay, you can always get him on time zone.

I’m not a believer in getting people on a technicality in a bet and I’ve never done it, but if someone tried to do it to me like that I’d fight fire with fire.

I’m a big honor among gamblers guy. Someone recently tried to overpay me for a bet we made, and I’ll admit I thought about it for about 10 seconds, but I told him and gave him back the extra $400.

GIMME MY MONEY PI

How can they pay out Georgia and not the whole thing tjsjfjtbskgkgotnsb

Theoretically PredictIt could pay out all the state contracts for Biden and pay out the next president bets for Trump.
