Ossof will win. He has never trailed in a poll
He was down in the Trafalgar poll, which I'm inclined to give more weight since they were the only state polls that called the Midwest firewall break

PredictIt charges a 10% fee on profits and another 5% at withdrawal. It's fun for niche markets but I wouldn't try to make a living there.

i fully admitted i was prone to make a mistake due to speed-induced exuberance

I'd prefer an Ossoff victory so I consider this a hedge. Like my bet on Trump.

so its 82/18

$18 of thomas = 100 shares (so 0EV)
$82 of kennedy = 141.4 shares

and yeah i know there are fees but i'm just talking about the betting hedge so the fees are irrelevant (b/c they'd apply regardless and keeping 95% after being wrong > keeping 0% after being wrong)

*ETA: if you shift it to 80/20, you basically get 111 shares for Thomas so you get that extra 10%

shite if you want free money,

who will be the next USSC justice to leave

kennedy is at $0.58

that's a 40% return on about the surest bet in DC




I should go bet on this. Mainly due to my gambling luck at anything but blackjack it would ensure that RBG died tomorrow

Handel backers - be a little careful - @nate_cohn keeps talking about a mail in portion that is unexpected and favourable to Ossoff.

Just a heads up. I'm largely out of Handel at this point.
