Maybe off topic, but I don’t think someone really believes something unless they are willing to wager on it. If they aren’t willing, they may think they believe something but really they are just wishing it were so.

Quite a broad brush. There are certain things that are inappropriate to bet on. Someone dying, injury, illness, war, committing crimes. For a winning bettor is right to celebrate and these are things that should only be mourned.

Being politics has consequences that include these things, considering politics itself inappropriate to bet on is a reasonable extension and I respect it.

I can understand that point of view.
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but that is the way to bet.

There should be no push. The Democrats retain control with a Harris win and a 50-50 split as the VP votes in the event of a tie.

Yes, I figured it was another one of your "Big deal! Ill give you $5,500 and I haven't seen it nor do I know what kind it is." sight unseen offers to do something that you would later walk back.

Why ask how much I am willing to take, if you are not willing to put up anything to begin with?
link to original post

I explained why... I said I know people who are willing to take bad bets(odds) in-order to hedge off for large amounts.


You haven't answered how much you are willing to take and if you're willing to escrow all the bet amounts.




Just like Mile and others here...Including yourself, people are looking for good deals and opportunities I that include hedge etc.

Time for another update on the odds. Here they are the last three days:

PredictIt share price on Harris:

Sat: $0.55
Sun: $0.53
Mon: $0.51

Pinnacle odds on Harris:

Sat +108
Sun +119
Mon: +137

In other words, modest movement in Trump's favor.

The Senate
Okay to be clear: Republicans starting with a baseline of 49 senators, Dems currently have 47 senators + 4 independent senators that caucus with them.

West Virginia will almost certainly flip from Manchin, an independent who now caucuses with the Democrats, to a Republican who leads by 34 points.

Montana senator slot is likely to flip from Blue to Red as the Republican candidate, Sheehy, leads by 7.7 points.

Ohio may also possibly flip from Blue to Red as the Republican Senator candidate, Moreno, now leads the Democrat Brown by 1.7 points according to the RCP polling average.

Texas' Ted Cruz is thought to be the most vulnerable incumbent Republican senator but the average of RCP polls show he is leading by 4.4 points.

In Florida, which is currently Red, the Republican Scott leads the Democrat Mucarsel-Powell by 4.6%

The other Republican seat in play is Missouri, where there has been no polling since September. Hawley(R) led at that time by 11 points



Note: edited to reflect updated margins, which have trended towards the Republican candidates.

if it's close as a great many think it is it could take several days to know who won - see link
in 2020 it took until 4 days after the election for news outlets to declare the winner
ballots from overseas and from the military sometimes arrive after election day
in very close elections the outcome is unclear until these ballots are counted

What difference does it make if you are or are not a person of your word if you were not going to be the one wagering?

In any case, I saw a post you made about how it was a bad bet, another about how you weren't dumb enough to make the bet, and then something about how you might know some people who would. That's all quite equivocal especially considering the last time you made an offer it was sight unseen unequivocal for Wizard's watch, and you later revised the offer to be "if it's a good deal" - and from there - no deal! When I make an offer I do all the research before, I don't make an offer and then later qualify it! I hate when people do that, they offer to buy something and then start asking questions about the item. Ask the questions first!

In my neck of the woods, there were maybe 10% as many early voting places as compared to ‘regular election day’ voting places. Seems like they will have to (or at least should) increase the former and decrease the latter.

NY has a ‘State Senate’ and ‘State Assembly’. Two separate bodies similar to the Federal Senate and House. Similar to 48 other states. Which ONE state does not have two separate governing bodies? (No googling!). (Unicameral legislature).

I'm just across the river from Mississippi
It's raining. Not good for voting but good for the Mississippi River. Water level of the big Muddy still pretty low
No early in person voting in Mississippi
It's sad that some states still don't have early voting
I voted a couple weeks ago in FL
2 key issues on the ballot in FL
Recreational MJ and Choice
Very interested to see how they do as the Governor campaigned against both

So it is okay to release actual results from this one place, but not okay to release exit polls even until after at least some polls close?

If you study the Bush v. Gore Florida votes, the votes that each side was pushing to have disqualified ended up being helpful to that same side, in other words - neither side really knew what it was doing.

Similar to jury selection, after all the studies and voir dire, many of the most experienced trial attorneys will say, just give me the first 12 out of the box.

You may end up shooting yourself in the foot, telling people to vote early or not vote early, vote by mail or not vote by mail. Supposedly the Republicans have always been fearful of a large turnout, but maybe that isn't even the case anymore.

That may well explain it. In Arizona, unlike New York or Nevada, you can vote anywhere in your county. NY limited you to one polling place,but that might have changed. In Nevada, you could vote early anywhere in the county, but had an assigned place for Election Day.

It's election day. Shouldn't we be done with polls
I'm hoping a lot of polls are off
I think polling is absurd when you only get a 1% participation rate. I think the back and forth leaders in polls is BS. I think one Presidential candidate was always leading
Only poll I'm hoping is on the money is Ann Selzer because if she is right, means most polls in Iowa were wrong 😉

I agree especially since the actual samples are less than one tenth of 1%. I also assume that the polling lists of "likely voters" are close to identical and many of those polled were hit more than once. Consider a state like Iowa where there are perhaps 10+ different polls done. It seems logical that each of those polling lists used by the different pollsters are going to match and are very similar yet there are different results, and the percentages, i.e., 2% or less are the final numbers. How does a poll with a sampling of less than 900 respondents come up with a 1 or 2 percent result? Totally, in my mind, illogical and not real.

They vote at like midnight and the results get reported like this every election. As someone else said a symbolic place and thing. I doubt 6 votes will sway things.

Also, their polls are closed.

Isn't it crazy that it's harder to vote on actual election day then early voting
In FL you can early vote at any location in the county.
On election day, you are restricted to just 1 place

Dixville notch , first town to vote , results are in
Trump 3
Harris 3

So it is okay to release actual results from this one place, but not okay to release exit polls even until after at least some polls close?

They vote at like midnight and the results get reported like this every election. As someone else said a symbolic place and thing. I doubt 6 votes will sway things.

Also, their polls are closed.

I used to live 20 miles away from Dixville Notch. The midnight vote was started around 1960 as a publicity stunt.

Thanks! I did not know when it started and would have guessed way further back.

Meanwhile the speed with which differing sources are calling states remains interesting. Watching the online tally is worse than watching NFL game updates when you have a bet but cannot watch the game itself.

VA might be the surprise tonight. Really tight with 56% in. Blue team can’t realistically win without it.

Might change when Batavia reports.

Fox appears to be calling fastest for both sides for those who care. NBC and AP calling far slower.

No chance. They show where the outstanding votes are. Harris will end up winning Virginia comfortably. SOOPOO has already called Virginia for Harris.

Fox and CNN are paying FAR too little attention to House races.
And should also do a little more Senate reporting.

Why? What has he won that he wasn't expected to?

If you say so. There are a lot of outstanding votes in the countryside too. They’re just spread out.

Meanwhile, I’m calling the Texas Senate race for Ted Cruz. Up 8% with 65% in.

At this point Harris will need all three PA MI WI to win.

I'm kicking myself for not taking your offer of +1MM popular votes on Trump!
