It was my understanding that there would be rampant fraud.

DTMan 2020 Predictions

Post by TheCatt »

The markets are giving Biden more juice (predictit 64%, 538 89%), but the electoral spread is getting smaller. (290-305)

I bet on the following
AZ - Dems
Pres - Dems
SC - Graham
FL/TX/NC/KS/OH/IA - Reps

So far I'm up $30, plus $12 I realized earlier so $42.

BetFair - 35% Trump
538 - 89% Biden (347 electoral votes; 53-45% popular vote)
PredictIt - 38% Trump
DSQ - 85% Biden

I'm going to go ahead and lock in my prediction -
Biden wins: 305 electoral votes and 51% of the popular vote. Trump gets like 232 and 46%. And, we know who won by end of Wednesday (bold)

NC/PA are the earliest states to watch. Followed by MI/WI/MN.

If Biden wins FL, GA, or OH - It's over for Trump. And probably the same for NC + PA if he wins both.

I think these betting sites are taking things more seriously this time. Biden still the overwhelming favorite, but no more of that 99% Hillary stuff.

This being 2020, are there odds for a contested election we can bet on?

I feel less confident on my bold-Wednesday prediction. Feels more like a Friday, but I'm sticking to it. And same with the 305/51%.

PredictIt, real-time markets, have Biden climbing a bit, Trump sagging a bit. Overall, and in NC, PA, and AZ.

Although, then I refresh, and NC is back to Trump, but basically 50/50

NC going wild in trading today. Biden currently at 54%, up from 46% this morning (cents are not quite equal to %s). NC win for Biden would be huge.

Then back to 50-50.

Biden up to 66%, mostly mirroring what is happening in the PA market.

538's final prediction.

I disagree on - FL, NC and Georgia.

AZ + PA are the toss-ups.
