With less than 3 Months to the Usa Midterm elections on November 3rd, I thought I start a markets thread for those interested in betting on them.
I don't have any positions/bets yet, looking for opinions and strategies etc.
Unusually in this election both parties are saying there are shenanigans going and the election will be stolen. Should we take
both the participants words on face value and bet accordingly?
Going on the word of the 2 parties, the elections will very likely be dragged thru the courts and settlement of bets could be months or years, or be settled
prior to a court review based on which party posessed what on a particular date.
The 2020 election should be remembered here, setllement was delayed 5 weeks because the losing participant cried foul to the courts.
Based on the adage "Posession is nine tenths of the law"
Rep to hold the senate at 2.02 seems some value.

Another reason I think Reps to hold the senate @ 2.02 is value is:
The reps absolutely need to hold on to the senate to continue with their implementation of project 2025 and to continue witholding "The Files"
The senate is vital

Any independent senator will be added to totals of the party if they caucus/align with that Party.
This market will be settled once the party projected to have Control of the Senate is announced by the Associated Press.

Hugely popular wars
Hugely popular extra taxes on anything not made in USA
Hugely popular high inflation
Hugely popular persecution of immigrants and or people with pigmentation.
Hugely popular withholding the files and protecting the perps.
Hugely popular massive drop in tourism due to spats with neighbours and the popular immigration initiatives
With all those plus points, Reps holding onto the senate is a cert surely?

Looks tight,... And at this range who knows.
Tough to see Trump turning it around as his decline continues. But incumbents could just
hang on with personal vote.

Which files are being witheld? Who are the Senate protecting? Do we know any names?

The data for 2026 isn't out but the trend is there
Both parties are saying there is foul play going on.
One of the participants who also controls the legal system has a history of claiming he never loses.
Given the above facts, Reps to control senate at 2.04 is a rick in the market
I'm not piling in yet because I think the rick will get bigger.
G'luck if you're betting on this market.

That's true, he's trying his hardest to rig the elections to favour election integrity by preventing Democrats from cheating. You can tell he's not worried about the midterms or he would have pulled out of Iran by now.
It's a sad state of affairs when you simply cannot trust the current leader and party of government to run free and fair elections. That is America today.
I think you must be a bit out of date, Biden's not the current leader. Trump is doing a marvellous job sorting out the election integrity stopping Democrats from cheating.
He lost, by 11% as far as I can tell to Lisa Demuth and is paying $825,000 for a state wide recount, and also claiming fraud citing watching the numbers getting updated on television as his main evidence.

On August 11, 2026, Demuth won the Republican nomination for governor of Minnesota.[10] If elected, she would be the first African-American and first female governor of Minnesota, as well as the first African-American female governor of any U.S. state in history.
Even when republican beats republican they cry fraud.
Looking like these midterms are likely to cause the biggest and most epic cries of "Fraud" in American history.
The results are so gonna get dragged thru the courts... Weeks? Months? Years?

We should all be in favour of election integrity, and that's exactly what Dave is trying sort out now to stop Democrats cheating. Why would you want to make it easier to cheat? The answer is if you are a leftie because they can't win any other way. Democrats made it illegal to ask for voter ID in California and they take 4 weeks to count the votes because they need time to cheat. India with 1.4 billion people count their votes in a day.
Donalds mate bought the company that owns all the voting machines for $1.3billion.
I think he got a position in the cabinet after he bought them.

Dominion Voting Systems sold to GOP official in surprise deal
Seems a bit odd that the voting machines can be owned by a politician, or anyone at all.
You must be getting mixed up with Mike Pillow. He was sued by Dominion for 1.3 Billion but he doesn't own them, he owns a bed factory.
