Play the game and be a winner! Grand prize is the ability to gloat for the next four years!

Along with the above poll, also give your specific electoral college vote prediction and popular vote prediction for the winner in a post for the chance to double the volume of your gloat!

You have until Monday, November 2 at 11:59 pm ET to make your guess. Edited posts after that date/time will be invalid and discarded.

Good luck to all!



Edited to add: "The Price Is Right" rule shall apply - closest without going over.

Also edited to add: The anonymous poll above is just for shits and giggles. Obviously, your predictions for the electoral college vote total of the winner AND the popular vote of the winner must be made in a post. A winner will be declared for both.

I remember the bet you made with me.

Buh-bye to the SugarDaddy1 alt as of the date the election is settled.
 
Trump edges Biden.

The literotica Democrats lose their shit.

I take a 3 and a 1/2 year break from the political forum and return in time for the next election--maybe.

But I don't gloat and I don't pout about the important matters. I leave that to the immature.

:)
 
Can't speak for the Californian Rory.

You did make a bet with the Arizonan Coati.

Buh-bye, SugarDaddy1 alt!
 
Trump will be re-elected. I guarantee it!

Here's the original coati alt bet...

When Trump is re-elected, you don't post in any Lit forum in 2021.

If Trump is not re-elected, I won't post in any Lit forum in 2021.

Are there any other anti-Trumpers willing to join coati?

coati is too petulant to honor this bet should he lose.

Why the hell would anyone else bother to join this bet when I already wrote SugarDaddy's ticket out of here? :confused:
 
For shits and giggles...

357 Biden / 54.2%
181 Trump / 43.5%

Texas seemingly comes into reach for Biden, but finally goes for Trump by court decision, despite it changing nothing at that point.

Yes, that's totally unoriginal RCP no-tossups map at the moment of posting, so I'm probably short 16 votes or so. Vote share is more of a guess, assume undecideds breaking mostly for Biden this time and probably is overly optimistic.

Everyone who loses face after the election will start new alts, so your honor-system bet is toothless.
 
My original bet stands: I delete my account if Trump loses.

I figure Trump wins 401+ EC votes and 57% of the popular vote.

My posting style could be too easy to spot, so I don't see much of an alt value beyond seeing amateur pics.
 
Probably last year I saw an observation in some blog of the beginning of the primary campaign with the Democratic Party destroying itself and that would lead to some candidate with no chance of winning, like 1984 numbers. I should have bookmarked that post so I could link it now.
