Hello all, and welcome to the C-SPAM Prediction and Betting thread. In this thread, we will give you a chance to back up your long-winded drive-thru orders with cold hard cash_{or something similar}.

You can make predictions PredictIt-style but without any sort of actual tangible benefit to yourself (for now)! Here is a sample post.

quote:

I bet a $20 RAINN donation that Donald J. Trump will run for re-election in 2020.

If somebody makes this post, and then Donald Trump does not run for re-election in 2020 then they are required to donate $20 to RAINN. If he does run, then the bet is complete and they have won nothing. If they refuse to fulfill their end of the bargain, they will be banned.

It's fun, it's safe, and it's easy. It's completely optional obviously, and you can make such predictions ITT and discuss it amongst yourselves.

For now, the only bets you can make are on events that I will define and post. Look at the second post for current open events! You can only make a bet within these events. You cannot structure your own, for now.

An open event is an event where you can place a bet in. For example, An open event could be "Hillary Clinton running in 2020, YES or NO?" and you can bet accordingly. However, you can't go off and bet a probation that Bill Nye will run for God Emperor of Iowa, because I did not post that as an event and your bet will be ignored.

Rules - updated regularly
1. Once a prediction has been made, you CANNOT edit your post.
2. You cannot bet a permaban.
3. Probation bets must be structured within the current probation options (12 hours / 24 hours / 1 week / 1 month / 100,000 hours )

THE PUNISHMENT LIST
$XX RAINN / ACLU donation
An embarrassing avatar that I will hand-pick for you from a list!
A probation (minimum 12 hours)
Forums Cancer (possibly, if :radiumcode: breaks then this will translate to a week probation)
A ban (no permabans)
