Betting on Politics: Predictit is NOT Dead

Took a significant loss on AZ but there’s no way I’m letting it ride.

Noah has 14k followers and a blue checkmark, apparently from binking a WPT tourney. Meanwhile prestigious academics with published books and many more followers can’t get blue to save their lives.

What happened to Maricopa 250k?

No idea

Maricipoa County went Trump by 4 points in 2016 so they included it in the big scary number.

How long does PI typically take to pay out? I’m planning on (hopefully) celebrating with my winnings

Have you picked out your golf simulator?

Faster than FTP did I hope.

Takes forever for them to officially close a market, usually.

I just bought one, still waiting on the mat and need to get the projector and impact screen. PM me @jmakin if you want to compare notes or whatever.

Dollars for 74c in Arizona, the MAGA folks are going to give away a little more money before this election cycle is over.

I won playing off the huge swings in the trump markets, i’m free and clear and submitted my w/d request immediately.

Bruce, not yet but I have ideas

I’m already jealous you got PI to work way better than I did

“We have reached the maximum number of traders on this contract”

EDIT: I take that back. Trump No is capped; Biden Yes is not.

Yeah playing the major swings wasn’t even remotely an option for me. If current projections hold I’ll have won every bet I made. That sounds better than it is though, biggest longshot was Arizona then Wisconsin/Nevada so I didn’t get too frisky.

Props to you on calling the forum getting shook as fuck throughout the night as well even though you were off a bit on the timing. Was thinking of your post and it gave me optimism as things were looking dicey for a bit. Wish I would’ve left some bullets in the chamber for live betting.

I, too, wish I left some bullets. I was afraid PI would crash and the blue shift would happen before I could get in. If I knew it would happen as late as it did (how could anyone know?), I would have left bullets in the chamber. Oh well, no complaints, going to be a solid result for me. Still drawing live for my best possible result going in, as I was able to roll some wins out at 97-98c and fire them in on WI and MI. That’ll make up for taking the L in TX.

Yeah, I saved some, but shoved on -120, should have had patience and LOL at betting on Texas.

Also LOL AMERICA for making this shit even close.
