[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there an online chat forum that accompanies these bets?  I would bet that the million granny march down to the polls for Harris is not well represented in that chat.   Or possibly in whatever other data is being used by these guys to place their bets.

Predictit is the only one that has a chat worth looking at. (I haven't looked recently at Poly but when I did the chat was sparse and poorly moderated.) Scroll down below the current results on Predictit.

Yes, they have talked about the view that Harris may win the senior women vote on Predictit. There are nuggets in the chat, but be prepared to scroll through a fair amount of trash talking.[/quote]

What do you mean trash talking?  Is this place full of people actually wanting to make money or is it more people expressing their political views??[/quote]

I think you know the answer to that. [/quote]

I seriously have no idea.  I don't have a lot of confidence that is the most robust place to look for insight into this election outcome from the little i know.  But carry on boys. I suppose some of you will make some cash.[/quote]

Haha, just like anywhere else online it’s just people expressing their views. Any site that accepts crypto for bets is going to attract a libertarian-conservative crowd and they all love Trump and especially Elon Musk and that whole tech scene. So yeah, lots of trash talking. Also lots of bets and trash talking by non-US citizens. [/quote]

Predictit is a dollar, not crypto market. People across the spectrum place bets on it.[/quote]

Take crypto out of the equation, whatever. To what extent are the views of political bettors - who are definitionally extremely online - representative of the broader electorate?[/quote]
