$2/state.

Well that's one way to guarantee a Nate Radium :v:

Anyway, I don't actually think the map's gonna turn out like this, This would be my actual prediction, which is still fairly optimistic, but gently caress it! For $5 a state:

You just copied my map and then changed one of Maine's districts so it would be less obvious, but it's all good

Jim Bont: Apr 29, 2008; You were supposed to take those out of the deck.

$5 per state. Texas, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida will all be within 1%; NC will be the first swing state to be called (for Biden), hopefully alleviating the heart attacks Florida and Pennsylvania will be causing.

Here is my map:

I am betting �0.69 per state. If I calculated correctly, that means I can only lose a maximum of 0.69 * 55 = �37.95 if it's somehow the exact opposite of this.

I will not flake out on purpose, but if I forget about this thread for whatever reason, mods are free to send me a reminder via PM.

Ended up with the same map. $7 per state.

$5 to RAINN per wrong pick. I hope there's a Blue Wave and I'm super wrong and poor.

And $100 to RAICES if Trump wins, $100 to Sunrise Movement if Biden wins

DC Murderverse: Nov 10, 2016; "Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

I think y'all posting positive maps are doing it backwards.

Absolute worst case scenario here, everything lower Likely Dem goes red, our world descends into anarchy. This way, if Trump wins I'm out less money so I can spend it on gas masks and bricks, and if Biden wins real big then I'm too relieved and excited about not descending further into fascism to care about donating to a good cause.

$5 a state, let's hope I'm sending a big payment to RAINN.

If my prediction is somehow off in any of these states then for each state I've inexplicably got wrong I'll give 20 Australian dollars to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre https://asrc.org.au/

And if I've somehow got all of them wrong (the chance of which I estimate at less than 1:10^50) I would like a Nate Radium tag.

Are you proposing a fifty state sweep for Jeb!, Kanye Occidentalis, or :piss:

Mainwaring: Jun 22, 2007; Disco is not dead! Disco is LIFE!

Just to clarify, what's the maximum number of "wrongs" you can have? Because there's 50 plus DC plus ME and NE districts = 56, but it's not possible to sweep the ME or NE districts and not sweep the states so in a way that's really 54

Any third party/independent, including Kanye or Jeb!. I have a hunch for Jeb! this year, and expecting to make a LOT of money from a number of online betting sites that don't seem to understand Black Swan events, but I'll settle for any non-Biden/non-Trump win in those states.

Welcome to Rightsville friend

And yeah I was wrong in my first post, 56 is the max number of wrong predictions, I forgot about DC.
