"nobody will have a good explanation for this" Me, your intellectual superior: More people voted in 2020 than any other year. Anything else I can help you with today?

Comparing the poll margin to the election margin is an internally invalid metric. The belief that polls, if accurate, will predict the election margin is a flawed foundation, ignoring multiple confounders. It is analogous to the belief the Earth is stationary.
I was curious which states have had the most accurate polls historically. So I calculated it! Congratulations to Colorado! And God help you if you try to poll Hawaii:

X axis: the leader's poll average Y axis: how much the leader is "up by" Black dot = leader won Gray dot = leader lost For 100 years the field has believed that how much the leader was "up by" was the only variable of significance relating polls to win probability.

It was wrong about the difference between the spread method and proportional method, so I corrected it so I could get another chart

You know you're obliterating someone when they give a definition, then come back years later with a far more subjective definition. Years ago, @zaelefty cited which gametes someone produces as their sex Now, he's retreated to "organized to produce" He refuses to define that

I love when someone makes a claim, I ask them to back it up, and their response to being asked to provide an OBJECTIVE definition is to ask me "Really what do you think though..." It's deliciously ironic and I love putting people like this in their place
@RealCarlAllen @jbvconnor @zaelefty I mean, do you really not think there are differences between the male and female reproductive systems or that we can't examine a person and determine which one they're more similar to?

Calcaterra was a small bet at +1400, but popped to +1800 on ESPN and that's a pretty big one. The 1st TD bet is still available on FD and ESPN

I will continue to post SCREENSHOTS of bets here, for continuity and timestamps, but obviously those will be AFTER I post my bets over there...which is already very close to game time. Fwiw that platform is also much easier to use for this purpose - higher character limit

Just a reminder that @FiveThirtyEight said that not only were Republicans favored to win the Senate, they had a 1/4 chance of holding 53+ seats. Time for people to conclude what I concluded years ago: they don't actually know what they're talking about. Their own words prove it.
