Betting on Politics: Predictit is NOT Dead

Who are these people (Domer and GCR)? Am I just really out of it for not knowing?

Domer is a big name politics bettor who sometimes posted on 22.

Big enough that people know who he is IRL?

I don’t think so.

All I know is dommmaahhhhh

I think he played werewolf with us too

Unless this is someone else, damn that was a long time ago

No idea who gcr is but I guess a big crypto whale? Domer as mentioned was ex 2+2

as posted by nonfiction in the sports thread Rip predictit

I really wanted those yangbucks in 2024

This hurts me pretty good though damnit

well I did just start grinding some other stuff, guess I have to do more of that now and then re evaluate things in the spring

wtf?
I literally just got back in this week.

PredictIt response:

Here’s what you need to know:

  • The security of trader funds will not be affected by this action
  • We intend to continue operating existing markets for trading through Feb. 15, 2023 unless they resolve sooner under their respective market rules
  • In light of this decision, we are halting the addition of new markets
  • No determination has been made on how markets with end dates after Feb. 15 will be settled
  • PredictIt will continue to accept deposits and new signups
  • PredictIt will continue to honor all withdrawal requests

PredictIt maintains that all open markets are within the terms of the No-Action letter. We know our PredictIt community is incredibly strong and committed to this project.

I’m only leaving a few small lottos in and taking everything else out right now even though I probably shouldn’t leave that in either

everybody move to kalshi I guess, though I haven’t touched that place in awhile.

Yeah is this basically it? Close out positions and withdraw? Crazy.
Government seems to enjoy shutting down things I enjoy.

Wow thanks for the heads-up. PI was an amazing ride.

Guise is my money safe?

So where else can I bet against Trump being the nominee?

Wtf this sucks.

So I’ve got a max bet on Biden not resigning in his first term. It’s obviously a near lock (death doesn’t give me an L), but I’m down and it’s trading at 70c. I’m not inclined to take the L, but how can they close this out? Is it just going to be the wild west of where the market is trading in February?

Never heard of it, similar site?

I double checked my account to make sure it was empty. I was pretty sure I emptied it after all the presidential elections markets were settled. There was exactly $50.00 in it. I have no idea where that came from, but it’s on its way to my bank account. Election nights won’t be the same.

sort of, has some stuff on it but doesn’t have the president markets or senate races tho. It does have various laws that you can bet to pass or not (kinda limited tho at least before I only got in like 50 on something I wanted to get a lot down and that doubled since :/)

e-mailed everyone about SS#'s though just like yesterday so I should’ve known something was up

kalshi bets are laws/weather/economic numbers

maybe now with rip PI it’ll have enough volume
