Betting on Politics: Predictit is NOT Dead

On the one hand, I’m pretty annoyed. On the other, if this keeps feeding the MAGA/Q conspiracy fools hope for next time…

There is no way I’d resolve any of these bets for now if I was them or any book. I’m actually surprised bovada did. Kraken is supposed to start tomorrow in GA at least.

searched predictit on twitter and saw this gem

I mean, on the one hand it’s been obvious these are over for a long time. On the other, I can’t fault a business for not paying out until all pending lawsuits are over.

To what end though? Many of these states have already certified their vote. There could conceivably be lawsuits still in progress years from now on the vote tallies in these states while Biden is President if Trump wanted to keep grifting money to burn

Yeah I’m on PIs side here its irritating but tbh anything that could “happen” to make Qturds buy in for the nth time is fine with me.

Yeah, but there are additional recounts ongoing or that could be paid for. Until he’s exhausted all of his recounts, I could see not paying. As a general policy, not paying out until recounts are over makes sense to me. Typically, a candidate would only seek them in a close enough race to matter and would otherwise concede.

This threads the needle, but you don’t want to get into PI making judgment calls over the viability of recounts in general.

Wtf at you guys attempting to excuse any of this bullshit from predictit.

well I’m under the impression they’re going to file a shit ton of lawsuits tomorrow so I think this post will age poorly in less than 24 hours

The basic facts of the next election might be consistent with the lunatics’ predeterminations.

Tell Polyphemus that Nobody is paying out both sides.
