My betting site fucked me on the election. Made Biden the winner and took my money.
I told them, Fine. You can do that right now. But when Trump is sitting in the Oval Office on Jan 21st, you better re-instate my line and pay out, or you're going to get served.
PredictIt also fucked us. I'm down $1000 because they settled states that currently have competing electors. I would have sold my shares if I thought the rules were that they'd settle before it was actually final.
There are several ways in which each state can still flip. Even if it's a long shot, lets say 1%, that's what betting is usually about. For example, in a coin toss, you might bet 45-cents, but not 55-cents, regardless of whether the bet is for heads or trails.
Ultimately, the reason I bet was not because I thought it would be settled on the 14th, but because I thought it would be settled after the 14th, and all of their communication seemed to suggest they would wait for all relevant court-cases and contests to be settled. It seems that wasn't true.
I think all of them are bullshit, because all of those states sent two sets of electors. As a result, only when we know which sets of electors are actually accepted, can we know who won each state.
I'm actually not really sure, I havent been on there very long and I can't even invest in the markets that I want to because they say "we've reached the limit of shareholders"
Don't. They just fucked me over by about $1000. My potential winnings (if those states do "flip") is around $9k. They settled MI, AZ, GA, and PA, and the electoral-college bets. Shockingly, WI is still open.
Biden hasn't won any of those states yet, they all have competing electors, and they're all still contested in numerous court cases. I thought they were going to wait until it was actually decide based on wording of many of their previous communications, and was shocked to see them settle the bets.
Despite all of this, and despite them acting like the states are decided, they're creating new bets about whether or not various people will contest election results.
PredictIt should know better; even if it looks like we're down 48-2, and there's 2 minutes left on the clock, the whole point of many of these bets is because people bet on the most unlikely things happening. Hell, if there was a bet 1:1000 that Trump would bunch Biden square in the nose on inauguration day, I might put a dollar on it, not because I expect to win, but because I think the odds are slightly higher.
Except that's not what PredictIt is doing. They settled numerous contested states.

Oh, but PredictIt is saying I lost a bunch of states (PA, GA, MI, AZ) that are STILL contested, and which have competing electors. I'm fucking pissed.
Yeah some of those I think are total bullshit

Don't do it. It is a liberal shit company. I had money riding on Trump winning the PA and they just paid out PA for Biden. I'm furious!
That sucks! You won bigly and got robbed in more ways than one by creepy Joe and his boys. Sorry, man
Thanks brother. I put a lot down too because I know Trump won.
Yes you would be able to sell.

PredictIt is compromised, don't use it. Fuck em.
