Did you put money on Trump to win? Or lose?  I threw $15 bucks at it. Lets see what happens.

degenerate gambler

From this site:
https://www.predictit.org/

I put $15.17 on Trump to win in the election. If I win, I rake in $34.82.  If I lose, I lose the initial bet. I had some change left over so I also put 18 cents on GOP winning by 10-29 electoral votes.

As you can see. Trump is not favored to win.

Holy shit you can bet on a presendential election.

That’s the most American thing ever.

I don’t gamble whatsoever but that’s hilarious

I put either 10 or 20 on Trump a long time ago. Have not logged in on forever.


Just logged in.

I put $10 on Trump to win in March 2019.

I'm up $0.50

I never win anything, don’t want to jinx this election. On second thought maybe I should bet on Biden.

FYI, They suck away 5% of any profit you make.  Similar to a poker game rake. Or so I am told. I never gamble.

Not gonna lie I don't know what all that means or the cents.

But I'll put some money down for trump to win if someone explains it.

I thought it was 10% of the profit and 5% for the withdraw fee. Then add in the market caps to limit winnings and you really have to find predictions that are heavily skewed. The 2016 election had Trump at 18 cents, so it was worth it. Now, meh.

There’s little doubt in my mind that he would win if not for fraud. Based on that, I’m not putting a dime on it.

Somebody explain it to my like i'm 5.

I just put $100 in, and put an order in for 250 shares of trump kicking biden's ass @ $0.40 a share.  
How do they calculate how much I will get?

ETA -
I see there are more than one way to vote for trump winning.  I guess when one market sells out, you can still get in on the others.
Will there be a woman VP?
Which party will win the election? Different ways to ask pretty much the same question.

Why bet now?  Why not wait until that moment when they first start counting the votes, and the Democrats are so certain they'll win that the odds will give you a huge payout?

Biden is doing some funny stuff now. For example, he's apparently going back into the cellar and Obama is going to hold rallies for him. The 'rallies' he's been having have drawn hundreds while trump draws thousands. This is mighty strange, virus or no virus.

Hundreds? I've seen Biden 'rallies' with less than 20 people.  Get your bets in on Trump.  Same poll numbers from 2016 and we've only seen 5% of Hunter's hard drive.  My prediction?  They found underage girls pics on the hard drive.

So its saying for $100 in, it'll pay out $235?  Should be like taking candy from a 35yr old crybaby with a philosophy major and a minor in lesbian dance theory who still lives in their mom's basement.

Well then they take 10% of the profits. Then 5% of all the money you remove from the site if I'm understanding it correctly.
