I'm going to miss Predictit

My understanding is that, unless they win some appeal somewhere, they will no longer be allowed to have betting on political races after this election, since it's illegal online gambling.

That would be too bad, since it's my go-to source for a quick initial read on the state of races. When people are spending their own money, they tend to be much more objective and much more informed. If you listen to some pundit you never know if he's letting his political biases influence his analysis.

I have to work, and I don't have time to follow dozens of uncalled House races. Predictit does the work for me by giving me a quick bottom line percentage (with user comments below to explain what's going on):

Am really going to miss it.
