Right now the Economist is forecasting that Le Pen has a ~10% chance of winning, and also that Macron has a ~10% chance of winning in a 20-point landslide. So there's not a whole lot of confidence it seems

I hope you may have been making a joke there. Doesn't seem like there's enough wiggle room (or MAGA money) in the market this time even though the election itself is a carbon copy of the last cycle.

I also hope you do alright when the dust settles.

five minutes until results and macron is pushing .98. i think the money stops being so dumb when there's no trump around. sigh

i lost around a hundred bucks, way less than it could have been. sold a few hours ago on turnout forecasts. i still think buying macron at .90 weeks ago was an insane move

I made a fuckload off of the Biden Approval market that resolves tomorrow morning, and now I dumped it all into Madison Cawthorn at 49c for the NC-11 primary market.

It resolves in 10 days.

I am not. I have not been watching NJ PA close enough to really know what's happening beyond the fact that a carpetbagging Dr. Oz is in the race.

How well known is barnette? Can she beat Oz's fame and Trump's endorsement?

Not sure, but Oz does seem to have very little enthusiasm behind him for a Trump-endorsed, celebrity candidate. He's been leading in the polls but basically within the margin of error - I think the Fox poll from a day or two ago had him at 22, McCormick 20, and Barnette 19 - and there are still a high number of people saying they're undecided even after Trump's endorsement. Doesn't seem to be much enthusiasm on the ground either from what I'm told. There's also the question of whether support for either McCormick or Barnette might collapse and if so who benefits? And it seems from polling that the main concern of Republican primary voters in the state is who can win in November, so you might end up seeing some of that "I prefer X but I'm voting for Y because he's more electable" energy. If I had to pick a favorite I'd give a slight edge to Barnette because she's surging at just the right time and I have a feeling a decent chunk of McCormick supporters would switch to her if it looks like it'll come down to her or Oz. But honestly I'd consider the market a pure gamble at this point, too much uncertainty and nobody is clearly underpriced.

(I got some Oz Y when it became clear Trump was going to endorse him and went heavily into Barnette N way too early and am regretting both decisions now. And that's after selling a ton of cheap Barnette Y shares a few weeks ago ago when she jumped all the way up to... 10c. :shepicide:)

Edit: Should have added, another element of uncertainty is that Barnette is relatively unknown and hasn't been a focus of the others in the race up to this point, so it wasn't clear what kind of ammo there was against her. The price just shifted 6-7c on Hannity tearing into her.

Yay, got lucky on that one. I got burned recently on getting in on Vance N way too early and couldn't shake the feeling that I had set myself up for the same here with Barnette N.

Just LOL if McCormick pulls it off after all; it was always a possibility with Barnette splitting the crazy vote but I think he was like 13c yesterday and now he's up 1.2% with 66% of the vote counted. I think the remaining areas are supposed to lean Oz though; it'll be close if so.

Edit: Looking more and more like McCormick, RIP my shares in the "Which party will win the U.S. Senate election in Pennsylvania in 2022?" market.

it's possible he wins by a few hundo but a recount will languish awhile and prices will fluctuate. i'm staying out for now

Same here.

I'm now debating how I'm going to bet on midterms.

On one hand, Republicans hold an advantage due to current economic conditions. Not exactly the democrats fault but perception is reality. On the other hand, Republicans especially the "MAGA Crowd" is still extremely unpopular so much that it's impacting their electability in the general.

gas prices might skyrocket past $6/gallon which is not going to be good for democrats in the midterms regardless of maga

Anyone checked out kalshi? Seems very similar to predictit, but with more finance (and covid) related markets. Not nearly as much volume unfortunately, pretty wide spreads.

The fee schedule is more transaction (per/contract) based, not on profits and withdrawals.

https://kalshi.com/docs/kalshi-fee-schedule.pdf

Thinking about putting some money in, but my accountant is gonna hate me for generating *another* set of 1099s or whatever this place spits out.
