    The bets says wins by 280 electoral votes, not gets 280 electoral votes.  IE, they need to get 400+ votes.  You are getting +600 or so, which is not good odds for wins by 280 electoral votes, but it is too good to be true for gets 280.  Gets 280 would have been -150 or so.

    Haha

     

    Thanks man. I'm an idiot. I just saw 280 and put a little on it. Realized they probably did that on purpose as I don't think anybody has won by 280 since H.W.

    Yeah... I saw some confusion on predictit.org on this issue

    And I commend OP for admitting he misunderstood the bet :)

    Reminds me of a bettor in my office celebrating a big soccer wager win..and then I said "hey, is your bet full-time or regulations time?".. Didn't go over well

    Bookmaker has graded the individual states that certified the results (I think the rule is 95% of vote counted with a mathematical impossibility of change). My NH bet was paid but my FL and Texas bet has not as of yet. My Senate loss was also graded.

    Ok, I just looked cause I wanted to check my Packers -14.5 bet and my 280+ is back in my open page and not as a loss in my history page. I still think I bet win by 280 but I'm not going to question it. I'll update you guys whenever Nevada gets done counting haha.

    I bet when biden was still trailing in WI and MI, if that makes you think the odds might have been more relative.
