Don't get too crazy with predicit. I've seen topics take over 6 months to close and pay out even though the results were clear. The Iowa Caucus results earlier this year were a complete and utter night mare. Sure you'll be able to cash out but at a lower price than you should get. They have professional squeezers there. Getting paid takes a bit of time as well and they charge a fee to cash out.

Your limited to a total investment in any one event at $850. Once you reach $850 you can't buy more.

Selling at a profit costs you 10% of your profits as well as a cash out that costs you another 5% of your overall cash out win or lose.

Thank you

My question is with regards to the format. Does $.39 mean you lay $.39 and get back $1.00, profiting $.61?

Normally I would think so. Just joined after Willie got it. So just making wagers that seem to have value with what's listed.. After reading Hotpizza's post , I might be even more clueless .. I would've assumed before that when the elections are over , we have a W or a L with each prop and move on.

Yeah that's the general concept, but I think it's like 97 cents you get back after their fee.
Admittedly don't have first hand experience playing there, was shown to me by a friend who does.

Today, Biden -171, Trump +151

A lot can happen in the next few months but right now Trump is in signifcant trouble. A lot has changed since 2016, I have listed most of the changes.

We need Trump to win or our Republic is doomed.

The GOP congress members are the Washington Generals, let's face it.

I really don't share your concerns at this point. The campaigns don't start until after labor day. Nerds may watch, but the country doesn't.

I find it somewhat surreal that people take this for anything more than what it is, a snapshot in time taken after a run of bad press, long before the real campaign begins

It is a $ 850 max on any position

I just made an offer to buy Trump at .30, but it was rejected saying it would place me over the $ 850 max

Buying Trump presently at .40

Willie , with these props , the $850 number is for total investment on that prop ? Or the $850 for both investment and profit ? The .30 offer of yours would put you over the $850 because ? You were trying to buy to many shares ?

I risked a total of $ 849.80 on Trump to win which would pay approximately $ 2,000.00

They won't let me risk > $ 850.00 on Trump to win the presidential election

My $ 849.80 consists of three separate purchases, I was trying to make a 4th purchase

Ok. I'm holding back to some degree. Hoping for more Biden money to come in. Anymore foolish hysteria can drive the price up even more.. Been slowly adding to the Trump prop. Only have $200+ invested on that particular prop so far at Predictit.. I'm surprised we're getting this price .. But glad at same time.. But want to enact my own " greed is good " formula here

I liked the Fla , VA , Mich , NV. , NM odds
i wouldn't touch Mich... Sleepy's team is pumping $2M+/mo there while Trump just pulled his ads. agree on FL, NV, NM

If Trump loses and the Dems sweep, we are socialists with open borders and shitty mandatory government healthcare and amnesty + voting for illegals, add 6 to the Supreme Court, and triple the taxes for many... within 18-24 months or so.

Try to think of what has happened the last 3.5 years, he has been massacred, slam dunked, I kid he is 1-31 ATS, his own GOP party has not supported him at all, just a few phonies that go on Fox and huff and puff and then do nothing.

Trend is your friend, Trump is not going against Biden, he is going against Big Brother and THE PARTY:


  • Soros & "friends", China, Saudis, Russia, Clintons, Obamas, the TV media, the press, Hollywood, academia, the social media giants, community organizers who will pump the ballot box with fraud Dem votes... et al.

We need a few Hail Mary's the next 90 days!

Looking for

great options / choices
good lines
higher limits, at least a $ 500 maximum
obviously a reliable / solid book

Maybe one of my fellow Rxer's can point me in the right direction

Looking for stuff like;

Presidency
Electoral college
Control of the Senate
Specific Senate races
Control of the House

Like buying stocks after they've been tanked, it may be a great time to jump in

Probably get some hedge opportunities before it's over too

feel free to text me. I'm a tad bit slow on the replies these days but I may be able to assist.
