Since we already have some side action on Louisiana in the presidential race, I'll let you do a three-team, two-team teaser round robin banger with Louisiana and Mitch McConnell summoning a demon. You'd literally be taking money from me. You can't lose. Whaddya say?

There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
Amy Coney Barrett as next nominee is only at .53 right now. Trump has told staff (and it's been publicly reported) that he was saving Barrett specifically to replace RBG. If you believe he still remembers he was gonna do that, this seems like an okay buy.

user JUDAKEL has taken me up on 10:1 for trump to win the presidency and 5:1 for trump to win wisconsin, he is putting up respectively $1000 and $500 to my $100 in both markets in that he thinks the sitting president will win both contests

Thank you! Snagged some and eye-balled .65 on a whim, came back and it all sold. I'm only beer-money level trading but still feels good

I bought 100 shares of Barbara Lagoa at 35c. Tell me how degenerate I am. Quick edit: Overseas odds have her as the favorite according to a newsweek article. What could go wrong.

That's not what his post here implies. If you two are disagreeing on whether you bet 1:10 or 10:1 you need to figure that poo poo out right now.

Clearly, Trump is the underdog. Guess the second emergency stimulus check is coming in November.

This post doesn't actually clarify anything.

Did you bet 1,000 vs his 10,000 or 1,000 vs his 100 like he claims?

Well there's a supposed leak that Barrett is the pick, and given the sieve like nature of Trump's inner circle it's probably true. Saw the news fairly late and at this point I'd be salvaging shares at 5c so I'm just going to hope for a miracle to make money on this one now.

Indeed. This one won't officially resolve until the new Congress is sworn in in January, though, which may account for the present discount. This would be a good one to shift funds over to after Biden doesn't drop out of the race before 11/1.

I'm deep against Trump in Minnesota. Was picking it up when it was running in the 60's.

I'm still holding some of my available cash back in hopes of an MI-03 market. If anyone wants to support that cause by sending a quick market suggestion email to markets at predictit dot org, it would be appreciated. At least RCP shows MI-03 as tossup. It makes more sense than some of these one-sided contests they're currently offering markets for.

THat makes sense. For the long resolve ones, like 'will Michelle Obama run in 2020' and stuff like that, I just set the sell to 99 which does the trick.

I also just think this is nuts:
