Alright, I threw some money against some locks. Lots of markets are closed off now. FYI “Balance of power after election” you can get No on R House / R Senate for 84c (538 House projection is 97% D)

“B-b-but 2016!” is pretty much the only thing these people are going off of. Trying to chase that dragon.

I haven’t seen one person saying it’s over after analyzing the early vote data.

If you actually owned both of these - wouldn’t you take a pic at your house and not some swanky hotel in Beverly Hills or wherever this is from?

Hmm that’s a good point, even weirder pic than I thought then.

Whenever you see some dude posing in front of a supercar in a parking lot it’s almost a lock that he does not own that car.

PI already went down, it’s not gonna be functional so if you thought like me you could get some real time trading in vs idiots well don’t expect it.

PI currently functional, trumpers have already pushed FL/GA hard R due to having gained decently in early votes even though not a single person expected anything else so yeah would be nice if this site remained functional most of the day.

I wonder how many deposits in one day it will take before my credit card company is like WTF and halts it for fraud

LOL someone actually bet enough money on Trump CA +1000 to move the line? I wish I was comfortable moving my net worth onto Bovada to pick up a free 3% in a day.

Did TX move to +310 on any actual news or just trying to balance?

Unless you can navigate lol Bitcoin, it takes a month plus to get money out of Bovada, and even then you get a shady check from Singapore or whatever, so don’t deposit money you might need.

I just checked to make sure you can actually bet against Trump outperforming polls by 8% or if that was just a weird dream I had last night. Sure enough, it’s real.

How do you close out positions before they resolve?

? on PI you just sell all the shares

Yea I figured it out, the UI had me thrown for a second.
