Betting on politics

Does anyone have any experience with this website?

It's like prop betting in football, only using politics. I wouldn't ever use it since insiders would clean up on such bets, but it is interesting to see what people think.

I think since GWB, we have had a lot more instances of "the people who vote" mattering a lot less than "the people who count the votes"
Essentially, very similar sentiment to this possible misquote by Stalin: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/stalin-vote-count-quote/

In any case, I would put my money on "whatever Putin is betting on" ...

Don't we "bet" on our future every time we vote for or against a politician? 2016 was a horrible bet.

I don't think that is what Adam meant. AFAIK Madoka moved to Japan and has not bothered to come back to ATOT.

I thought he got arrested for writing the names of thousands of living Danes on Lego heads and sending them to the Danish embassy.
