I admire the persistence but this is starting to look bleak.

Trotsky.

My take is that the top tier right now is Biden/Bernie/Beto/Harris. The rest of the field collectively has a decent shot, too. I don't think I can really estimate the odds. I'd pick against Bernie at even odds, but I don't know if it crosses into the territory that I'm comfortable betting on it for this purpose. Needless to say, I think your confidence is wildly misplaced, but it's not exploitable at this time.

I don't think the rest of the field has a decent shot, and I agree those are the top players.

What is your cap of Sanders's chances? .20? Seems like bettable territory for you.

I don't feel like I have a firm handle on it, but probably in that range. It's borderline bettable territory. I think that Biden's chances are much worse than they appear, though I'm not willing to throw out some of the only relevant data to base the analysis on. I also don't like your attempted juicing (the possibility that he pulls out for medical reasons is small but I think material, especially since he might be more likely to pull out for medical reasons if it's not going so well).

That's not juicing. It's an attempt to capture the spirit of the bet. I believe Sanders is in the best position of all candidates to receive the nomination, and I don't see anyone who is likely to beat him. If health intervenes, that shouldn't swing the bet either way. That's why I wrote it to be a push in that case.
 
Final offer before I get the other guy

@waiguoren

I'm still concerned with your currently being over leveraged. You have a total of 7.3 years in sig bets and 5 in av bets. The biggest one obviously is the PolishHeadlock one and the problem with it is we never seem to know when the Mueller case will be finished.

It looks like it could be any day now so we may want to put this bet on ice until we know the result of the report.
 


@Lead

Time to settle this.


#29. @waiguoren v. @PolishHeadlock
1. The Mueller investigation will indict Trump and accuse Trump of committing a crime to EITHER
a) cooperate with / help Russia carry out the DNC/DCCC/Clinton office hack
OR
b) offer Russia concessions (policy, money, etc) in exchange for the fruits of one of the hacks above
2. PolishHeadlock- for, waiguoren- against
3. When the Mueller investigation concludes
4. Avatar and Signature bet
5. 5 years
6. Null if Mueller is fired or Trump unexpectedly passes
*Lead, Zankou, and panamaican will make the call on the bet when the investigation concludes.

@PolishHeadlock

Are you two ready to call this? I usually like the posters to settle it themselves before having the officator(s) look into it.

what. You don't need officiators to 'look into it'. It is clear as day.

edit: I forgot this is the one with multiple officiators involved. My bad,
