Tournament complete!
Thanks for participating. Read about the results, or continue betting on Manifold.
This market will settle as YES if Republicans win at least 235 seats in the 2022 elections for the House of Representatives.
The market will close as soon as major media outlets have called enough races to make a determination. In the case of uncertainty, the market may remain open until the first week of January, when the new Congress is sworn in.

Do you wish to resolve based on ABC?
538/ABC has called 201 seats in favor of democrats, so I think this can be closed soon if not already
@AndyMartin I’m only seeing 188 called for Democrats https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/house-senate-results-so-far/
@JosiahNeeley that's from 4:40am yesterday

(this is the same link used in the sidebar of https://fivethirtyeight.com/live-blog/2022-midterm-election/ )
what were the data sources people were using to bid this above 50%?
@AndyMartin I think it was a misreading of the question TBH
When liquidity from the 538 market got in it was time to put all 1.3k into this market but idk why it was at 70% instead of the more reasonable 20-40%. 235 is just a really big number

What’s with all the sudden bearishness?
@PPPP A few of us bought no shares nearly simultaneously when the odds hit nearly 70% this morning, presumably because we all felt that was excessive. Caused a bigger drop than I was expecting, for sure.
@PPPP Pretty sure this is to blame, in part.

@LorinElijahBroadbent @colinmcroberts that makes sense. I was wondering if I’d missed some big poll swings favoring the Ds.

@JJGG ^ currently has the odds of a red wave at 20%
@AndyMartin Looks like it's 23% today, but it's been in the low 20s for a while.
@JJGG still at 22
