Ok looking at what the decision desks are saying I've definitely missed in a few states, but I'm waiting to see if Kanye can claw back in some counties in the rust belt states where my had him up as much as %5,000.

I don't really understand how gambling works.

Lets suppose 5$ per wrong state and I get say TX and FL wrong that's 10$ to charity?

Biden currently is expected for all of Maine's EV's right?

Right now then I think I'm down 20$, potentially 25$. I think for the thing on high I'll donate 25$ more or less immediately as tribute.

Eh, I missed ME-2 and probably Georgia, but lmao that a dumbass like me did better than the pollsters and prognosticators. My secret: not paying any attention to polls for the last month, because they're bullshit.

If I could choose my prize, it would be giving Nate Cohn, Nate Silver, and Dave Wasserman swirlies.

Interestingly, no one here predicted a blue Georgia (which is in the cards) and red Florida+NC. A couple posters had blue Georgia and either red Florida blue NC or blue Florida red NC, though.

Just so you know, you picked a map consistent with a 2-pt swing to Trump vs the final projections. It's very much in line with the polls in a binary sense of who won what states.

If it's worth killing it's worth overkilling.
So it looks like for the map I went with is more than likely going to be 2 off TX went red and NC went red, GA is looking like it might go blue just barely. If it is this few states I picked wrong I'll donate more than the what I said earlier.

I was wrong about Florida, Maine 2nd district, and (probably) North Carolina. So, fifteen bucks to RAINN, but I threw in an extra five just in case Georgia or Arizona flips to Trump.

I'll also say that if Alaska somehow goes to Biden, I'll donate another $20

I'll chip in for $10 per state. Are we required to go to RAINN or can we donate to any charity we want? Not that it matters much, just wondering.

This is my optimistic, but still not believing in Texas map.


I got ME-2, IA, NC, and FL wrong, which would be $40. I rounded up to $50 just in case AZ flips, and I like that rounder number anyway. Donated to Between Friends, which is a Chicago organization helping abused women and children.

Looks like I was only off at two (though come onnnnn NC, my wife's home state!); still, I rounded up a bit so they can afford a bit more than a sandwich.

I ended up being a bit more accurate than I was expecting. Rounded my contribution up a bit, it should cover me if I'm somehow wrong on more than the 2 states I see now (FL, ME-2) after counting is official.

There is systemic polling error, but it's Biden who is being underestimated.



Looks like I got IA, OH, NC, SC, FL, and ME-2 wrong. So that's $60, but I'm doing $80 just in case I missed something or something unexpectedly flips.

Edit: Hurp durp I missed TX as well. Lmao.

Senate:




I call these maps the "Ohio and Iowa suck rear end but it's a landslide for Biden" combo.


So I think my tally here is $90 (4 wrong Presidential/2 wrong Senate) so I'll donate a clean $100 (which is a little more due to currency exchange and accounts for if I hosed up both Georgia run offs).

FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA



Those purple mountain majesties and amber waves of grain ended up a lot redder than I was hoping :negative:

Alright, for 9 confirmed losses, 2 assumed (If I'm wrong they can keep the change) and an extra $2 for ME-02:

By my math, I got FL, NC, and one of NE's votes wrong. Decided to double the wagers per organization as celebration.
