Under 67½ Million -150
Over 67½ Million +110
Under is money?
Unwillingness to endure another uncomfortable experience.
Reasonable number have already voted.
Minds already made up @ this late date.
The novelty of the two together has expired
Yeah, football, I guess.
If you don’t know then I sure don’t. Just a thought.
Is there a new podcast out? I enjoyed the last one.
Yeah, it's fine reasoning, I just don't know enough or have enough data to be able to make a guess. I'd want to see data from previous debates. How did the final debate numbers compare with the first one.
I believe StarSpangledGamblers is dropping a new podcast tomorrow, and then there will be an emergency call-in show following the debate on Thursday.
I'm upside down a bit in Florida. I am holding until expiration unless something changes there.
I still have FL, NC, and AZ going for Biden. I have IA, OH, and TX going for Trump but I'm still bullish on Biden in TX (and OH to a lesser extent) relative to his price.
538 just released an interactive electoral map. Have you played around with this yet PLOP?
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com...-election-map/
What makes this different from a typical election map is that every state is in probabilistic flux. Once you pick a state for either candidate, that probability becomes 100% and it reruns the 40k simulations based on their model.
clicking just TX, OH and IA, states trump won in 2016 by at least 8% puts him at 32% FFS
plop, u need to bail man
sorry are we still cosplaying that texas is blue or nah?
I agree that he probably wins all of those states, but they're by no means a lock, especially FL and GA. Guaranteeing those states while leaving states like MI as tossups will of course be a great outcome for Trump. Basically this is like getting it all in on the flop with 40% equity, agreeing to run it 6 times, and your opponent generously spots you the first 2 runs.
If you lock in FL, GA, OH, and IA for Trump, but you also lock in obvious Dem strongholds WA, OR, CA, CO, NM, NY, IL, and VA for Biden (all states that he is 90%+ to win), then Trump's probability goes down to 44%. This is because Trump technically had some equity in those states, just as Biden had some in FL/GA/OH/IA.
damn click on wisconsin though, if that goes red, trump will win
(like i've said from the beginning by the way)
The map is fake news. It won't let me pick Hawaii or New York for Trump (which is what the highly reliable Northpol Model has).
so you're betting a shit ton of $ on that premise. very dumb, bad gambling. a state should be within about 5% in 2016 if u think it will flip otherwise u are just being homer trash. shit, trump only lost by CO & VA by 5% and I still wouldnt dream of taking him 10/1 there
Did CO and VA have senate races that were within a couple points in 2018 and massive demographic shifts making them redder by the day? Even Druff acknowledges the Texas (and Georgia) problem for Republicans. He just thinks it's a 2024 problem.
But no, I don't have a "shit ton" on Texas. I have like $750. I wish I had more at +325 odds, but don't think I'll see that line again.
I'll propose a wager that I assume you'll want to jump at. I'll take Biden to win Texas. You take Trump to win the electoral college. Any other result is wash (Biden wins EC but loses Texas). $500, even odds. Can escrow with Druff or do it on credit, up to you.
PLOP help a brotha out here...
this makes no sense...this has to be at best a 20:1 shot...
EDIT: nevermind, for some reason they reached a cap on the number of traders in this market on the 19th so i'm guessing that price is stale...
Yeah it’s amazing how much pull Wisconsin gets in that 538 map.
If you fill in all the “cut the shit” states It shows 88/12 Biden.
CTS states plus Wis for Biden and it goes to 97/3
CTS states and Wis for Trump and it flips all the way to 27/70 (opens up a tie).
No other state gets that pull
Markets are capped at 5,000 traders. So in order to trade that market you need to have traded at least 1 share at some point to be a participant. But yeah, it's free money. It's not a stale price, it's just people being silly.
Biden is trading at 10% to drop out before November 1st. Just go take the free 10 cents and then when it expires on November 1st move the money into another election market.
https://www.predictit.org/markets/de...ore-November-1
There's a lot of "free money" markets out there if you don't have the stomach to gamble on swing states.
I mean if you give Michigan to Trump, his odds go up to 85%. If you give PA to Trump he goes to 72%. Give him WI and it goes to 73%. It's because PA/WI/MI are pretty heavily correlated. The model thinks of those 3, MI is the most difficult. So it assumes that if he wins MI he's heavily favored to win WI and PA. It also means you're likely winning FL, AZ and thus the election.
Booked.
For the record:
I have Biden to win Texas, and Dish has Trump to win the election. $500, even odds. Any other result is a push
I have Trump to get under 300 EVs. Dish has Trump to get 300+ EVs. My $2,250 to Dish's $500.
We agree to let Druff mediate any disputes that may come up.
Good luck
Love how PLOL is the most popular poster almost overnight on here because of this thread.
Its like the kid in HS who shows his massive cock to 1 girl in school and now every girl(and gay guy) is eye fucking him and trying to start up a conversation.
Sanlmar, there's a new SSG podcast out. It's a worthwhile listen. You can find it here:
https://starspangledgamblers.com/202...mart-hysteria/
Edit: Lol, I just listened and I got a shout-out towards the end at 46:25

LOL what book is that? Can you parlay states? I can't believe they would let you do that for correlated props
listen, dish, your instinct is going to be to try to fondle balls when youre sucking your mandatory tranny dicks.
be warned; there probably arent any balls.
Thread delivers
So many people have already voted.
There are so few undecided in a very polarized race, as well.
I didn’t watch debate because my vote is non refundable.
Thus, I will be intrigued to follow how Plop trades this. Will there really be any volatility?
