I wouldn’t touch Trump at 46% but am still super pleased with having 2550 on the Pop vote and would still add if it got back up to the low 40s again. The simple fact that the pop vote is 27 while the gen is only 46 means that shits way off.
At one point the pop vote was 44 and the gen was 49 so i guess its figuring things out.
I am deathly afraid of a hispanic/woman “law and order” panic vote surge that could move the needle, just saying.
Also, Predictit isn’t really like most betting markets in that theres a massive personality cult making giant bets on Qanon nonsense. The indictment markets were a great example of that.
I ignore PI and use Betfair. I looked into it when it an arb between the two was available but the $800 PI limit and huge fees made in not worth the effort.
One of the euro books and it might be Betfair has screwed up senate rules as they count bernie/king as independents so there’s probably an edge in betting R to keep the senate there since dems have to get to 53 (50 also doesn’t count).
You can probably still bet Hillary NO at like .07, PI limits are so low the insanity persists and there is literal free money if the time investment and rake aren’t prohibitive for you.
It’s almost like there are a bunch factors Nate is not considering. 538 going to go bonkers when Trump “receives” over 80% of the popular vote. Hopefully Nate will include phony plebiscite referenda possibilities in his future modeling.
