Anyone playing around with PredictIt for the election? It's fun to throw a few bucks at and watch what happens. I know just enough to be dangerous! LOL I bet on several long shot races that I feel will pay off, including +3 net senate seats, winning WI, MI, MN, PA. Made tiny bets on NJ & NY. I'm up a few bucks right now and don't plan on selling, just closing out when the election is over.
Have $200 in play cross 10’ markets’. Already made money off Ginsburg being next justice replaced this year.
awesome. I guess you can play this all year and bet on whatever situation may be brewing? I’m new to it.
How was Trump doing the day before the election in 2016?
-PJ
he was down pretty far in the polls. no idea about the predictit site.
I’m on Predict It. I selected Electoral College for Trump over 280, Repubs taking the House, NO woman VP, and Trump to win both CA and NY. I will definitely cover the investment if Trump wins. I will buy new drapes for the bedroom if I cover the board.
I’ve got $100 on Trump or Biden to concede by Nov 17.
Also $100 on Popular vote winner doesn’t win the electoral college.
I registered and tried to make a bet, but when I put in the card info, the site informed me that the bank said the info was bad.
I know it wasn’t (did try a second time) so I took it as a sign I shouldn’t bet. LOL
I found it too late to get in on the actual Biden or Trump win. I'm in Michigan and from the energy and enthusiasm I've witnessed across the state, I'm confident Trump will win here.
With that being said, if Trump wins, John James should win on Trump's coat tail since it is unlikely Trump voters will split their ticket and vote for Peters.
So I got in on a James win for $.28 per share.........
LOL! that’s how I work too. fun to watch from a distance though even if you didn’t get in.
I’ve got three bets.
1) Gop EV 60-99 (the winning difference in 2016 was 306-212=94)
2) Gop EV 100-150 (requires Nevada and/or New Hampshire. necessary to hedge a blowout by Trump)
3) Trump covers the same states or more as in 2016
Yes! I really think John wins handily. I also think Jayson Lewis and the AL guy win, and then R’s don’t lose any seats.
As a post script, congresswoman Debbie Dingell, who has been in the back pocket of the UAW for years, gave an interview last week where she stated that she had talked with some auto workers who said they were voting for Trump.........she sounded very worried.
I have the same EV margin bet, net senate seats, ‘who wins’ FL, MI, PA, WI, MN, NV, NY, VA, NM, OR and NJ and who wins the house.
I only dropped $100 on it. I’m not exactly sure how or how much one can win. For instance, I bet $7 on who will control the House and the max payout is $45.70. I’m not sure if that specifically applies to my bet or like an overall payout per person.
I’ve got 6000 shares spread across a couple electoral college differences. 60-99, 100-149 and 280+. This is the difference between the two candidates electoral college totals. So, for example, Trump won with 304 to Hillary’s 234, which is a difference of 70. I believe Trump will win MORE than he had last time, which is why I’ve got the 60-149 spread. If it’s a true blowout, the 280+ will come in to play. I bought the shares when they were like 2 cents.
It’s run by Victoria University of Washington. Have you ever read any of the comments? Buncha leftists. If it goes the way I think it will, they will be getting a BIG does of MamaShawna opinion, plus I’ll be taking some of their money on top! HAHAHA!! I plan to give FR a BIG donation if it works out. I got pointed to predictit by a Freeper.
are you looking to sell your shares or just let the election close out? If the latter, how much do you expect to make? I’m trying to figure out how the pay out works...
