901 00:20:41.910 --> 00:20:43.540 to not vote early, 902 00:20:43.829 --> 00:20:44.910 to not vote by mail. 903 00:20:45.010 --> 00:20:45.510 It's corrupt, 904 00:20:45.589 --> 00:20:46.369 it's a corrupt system. 905 00:20:46.469 --> 00:20:46.660 It's, 906 00:20:46.709 --> 00:20:47.050 you know, 907 00:20:47.270 --> 00:20:47.829 the only state, 908 00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:48.109 honestly, 909 00:20:48.189 --> 00:20:50.829 you go back to 2020 where he encouraged it was Florida, 910 00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:53.709 and it was basically his best performing state of the election. 911 00:20:54.199 --> 00:20:54.349 Uh, 912 00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:55.420 I don't think that's a coincidence. 913 00:20:55.750 --> 00:20:55.930 Um, 914 00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:56.640 they just, 915 00:20:56.869 --> 00:20:57.979 they saw that same data, 916 00:20:58.119 --> 00:21:00.640 and in 2024 they stopped saying don't vote early, 917 00:21:00.760 --> 00:21:01.280 don't vote in, 918 00:21:01.369 --> 00:21:01.439 in, 919 00:21:01.530 --> 00:21:02.109 in the elections, 920 00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:02.439 and 921 00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:04.900 like you might say like there's fraud in those elections or whatever, 922 00:21:05.199 --> 00:21:05.359 uh, 923 00:21:05.479 --> 00:21:07.180 when it comes to early voting and mail-in voting. 924 00:21:07.239 --> 00:21:07.380 The, 925 00:21:07.390 --> 00:21:07.989 the, 926 00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:08.680 the thing about it, 927 00:21:08.760 --> 00:21:11.060 it's really valuable to campaigns. 928 00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:13.780 Campaigns love when you vote early because 929 00:21:13.959 --> 00:21:15.140 when you vote early, 930 00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:19.540 they can check you off the list and stop using resources to try to get you out to vote. 931 00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:20.680 So they love it. 932 00:21:21.130 --> 00:21:21.849 When you vote early, 933 00:21:22.050 --> 00:21:22.810 if you vote early, 934 00:21:22.930 --> 00:21:24.810 you'll stop getting text messages constantly, 935 00:21:24.930 --> 00:21:25.000 uh, 936 00:21:25.050 --> 00:21:26.349 in a lot of cases because 937 00:21:26.489 --> 00:21:27.479 you get checked off the list. 938 00:21:27.530 --> 00:21:28.930 They see that you voted and then you're, 939 00:21:29.239 --> 00:21:30.869 they don't need to spend any money on you anymore. 940 00:21:31.369 --> 00:21:32.040 They love that. 941 00:21:32.310 --> 00:21:33.989 So now Republicans have been considering, 942 00:21:34.089 --> 00:21:34.390 uh, 943 00:21:34.530 --> 00:21:35.290 they've changed that, 944 00:21:35.329 --> 00:21:35.469 uh, 945 00:21:35.479 --> 00:21:36.050 outlook and said, 946 00:21:36.130 --> 00:21:36.280 look, 947 00:21:36.369 --> 00:21:37.209 just go and vote early. 948 00:21:37.479 --> 00:21:38.969 2024 was the first time they tried that, 949 00:21:39.010 --> 00:21:39.800 and you see that data, 950 00:21:39.890 --> 00:21:40.250 not, 951 00:21:40.489 --> 00:21:41.530 not as much leaning, 952 00:21:41.810 --> 00:21:41.920 uh, 953 00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:44.459 in the Republican way for day of voting. 954 00:21:44.520 --> 00:21:45.790 So that's gonna be interesting to see. 955 00:21:46.819 --> 00:21:48.170 When it comes to prediction markets, 956 00:21:48.589 --> 00:21:50.369 this is all really interesting information. 957 00:21:50.550 --> 00:21:50.890 I 958 00:21:51.349 --> 00:21:52.579 think a lot of the movement lately, 959 00:21:52.630 --> 00:21:53.469 I dove into this, 960 00:21:53.569 --> 00:21:54.060 uh, 961 00:21:54.069 --> 00:21:54.310 deeply, 962 00:21:54.369 --> 00:21:56.250 maybe we'll get into this on another show as well. 963 00:21:56.630 --> 00:21:57.050 Um, 964 00:21:57.349 --> 00:21:58.510 what's moving the markets right now, 965 00:21:58.550 --> 00:22:00.229 it does seem to be early voting, 966 00:22:00.300 --> 00:22:00.500 uh, 967 00:22:00.619 --> 00:22:01.109 voting data, 968 00:22:01.189 --> 00:22:02.349 even more than polling. 969 00:22:02.829 --> 00:22:03.089 Um, 970 00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:04.640 Texas is a good example of this. 971 00:22:04.760 --> 00:22:05.640 In Texas, 972 00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:08.119 the polling for Greg Abbott has been pretty good, 973 00:22:08.339 --> 00:22:10.229 better than previously in the cycle, 974 00:22:10.479 --> 00:22:12.660 and his actual percentages have dropped. 975 00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:13.280 Why? 976 00:22:13.400 --> 00:22:15.459 Early voting data in Texas looks pretty bad 977 00:22:15.760 --> 00:22:16.699 for Republicans. 978 00:22:16.959 --> 00:22:17.839 What do I take out of that? 979 00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:18.520 Not much. 980 00:22:19.540 --> 00:22:20.449 I don't take much out of it, 981 00:22:20.459 --> 00:22:21.540 and I could be wrong on this. 982 00:22:21.579 --> 00:22:24.180 We might find that this is the time where early voting data has

00:29:41.719 uh, 1356 00:29:41.729 --> 00:29:42.939 I'll show you the chart in a second. 1357 00:29:43.199 --> 00:29:45.040 We're also getting this from the mainstream media, 1358 00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:46.420 prediction markets credibility 1359 00:29:46.599 --> 00:29:48.300 on the line in midterms. 1360 00:29:48.719 --> 00:29:49.349 And of course, 1361 00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:50.219 that is true. 1362 00:29:50.479 --> 00:29:51.660 It is on the line. 1363 00:29:51.959 --> 00:29:53.380 The reason I know that is because 1364 00:29:53.560 --> 00:29:54.880 it's always on the line. 1365 00:29:54.989 --> 00:29:57.800 Every single time prediction markets predict anything. 1366 00:29:58.329 --> 00:30:02.119 We are told that they have to predict it correctly or they have no credibility. 1367 00:30:02.569 --> 00:30:02.839 That is, 1368 00:30:02.849 --> 00:30:03.140 of course, 1369 00:30:03.209 --> 00:30:04.910 an idiotic uh idea, 1370 00:30:05.250 --> 00:30:07.790 and I can show you evidence of that here in a moment. 1371 00:30:08.699 --> 00:30:09.599 I will also say, 1372 00:30:09.619 --> 00:30:10.900 I do get it here. 1373 00:30:11.020 --> 00:30:12.530 I do get that I am pulling, 1374 00:30:12.540 --> 00:30:14.319 I am pushing a very heavy 1375 00:30:14.780 --> 00:30:15.560 uh stone 1376 00:30:16.339 --> 00:30:17.640 up a very steep 1377 00:30:17.780 --> 00:30:20.319 hill when I'm asking the American 1378 00:30:20.449 --> 00:30:22.160 population to understand probability. 1379 00:30:22.660 --> 00:30:23.839 You being here, 1380 00:30:23.859 --> 00:30:24.849 might be a little different. 1381 00:30:25.060 --> 00:30:27.209 You might be able to intake these things and understand them. 1382 00:30:27.380 --> 00:30:29.260 You have to understand that most people don't, 1383 00:30:29.339 --> 00:30:31.719 or at least don't care enough to think about it. 1384 00:30:31.910 --> 00:30:32.099 Um, 1385 00:30:32.140 --> 00:30:32.489 and that's, 1386 00:30:32.500 --> 00:30:32.739 of course, 1387 00:30:32.849 --> 00:30:33.599 social media, 1388 00:30:33.780 --> 00:30:36.780 it makes that problem 10 times worse than it probably even is. 1389 00:30:37.790 --> 00:30:41.209 Probability is something that is included when you're talking about these things, 1390 00:30:41.270 --> 00:30:45.050 and it is very difficult for the average person to understand because to be fair, 1391 00:30:45.270 --> 00:30:45.689 they don't 1392 00:30:45.949 --> 00:30:46.310 trade, 1393 00:30:46.469 --> 00:30:47.449 they don't care 1394 00:30:47.560 --> 00:30:48.400 about this stuff. 1395 00:30:48.630 --> 00:30:48.829 Um, 1396 00:30:48.949 --> 00:30:51.540 so they don't care about your stupid probability arguments. 1397 00:30:51.739 --> 00:30:53.130 What they care about is who's gonna win, 1398 00:30:53.459 --> 00:30:54.670 because that's what affects their lives. 1399 00:30:54.790 --> 00:30:55.000 They don't, 1400 00:30:55.280 --> 00:30:55.859 they're not trading, 1401 00:30:55.939 --> 00:30:56.150 they don't, 1402 00:30:56.229 --> 00:30:56.630 they don't care. 1403 00:30:56.709 --> 00:30:57.650 They just wanna know who's gonna win. 1404 00:30:57.910 --> 00:31:00.430 And if you tell them one candidate's gonna win and that candidate loses, 1405 00:31:00.910 --> 00:31:01.410 well, 1406 00:31:02.430 --> 00:31:04.589 Then you've lied to them and you have no credibility. 1407 00:31:04.709 --> 00:31:06.969 That's the way this gets looked at by a lot of people 1408 00:31:07.150 --> 00:31:08.449 in the general population. 1409 00:31:08.910 --> 00:31:10.170 And I understand that. 1410 00:31:10.229 --> 00:31:12.010 I understand the emotions behind it. 1411 00:31:12.290 --> 00:31:12.630 Of course, 1412 00:31:12.750 --> 00:31:13.660 what you have to get, 1413 00:31:13.719 --> 00:31:13.760 if, 1414 00:31:13.910 --> 00:31:14.229 and if, 1415 00:31:14.469 --> 00:31:14.630 you know, 1416 00:31:14.709 --> 00:31:16.609 if you know people who are thinking this way, 1417 00:31:17.270 --> 00:31:19.910 trying to understand and trying to help them understand this is, 1418 00:31:19.949 --> 00:31:20.530 is key, 1419 00:31:21.030 --> 00:31:21.260 uh, 1420 00:31:21.270 --> 00:31:23.910 to prediction markets having more utility than it might just 1421 00:31:23.910 --> 00:31:26.790 have to us and to people who are political obsessives. 1422 00:31:27.489 --> 00:31:27.709 Uh, 1423 00:31:28.030 --> 00:31:28.650 because 1424 00:31:29.069 --> 00:31:29.410 what 1425 00:31:29.550 --> 00:31:31.390 they're not telling you Bolsonaro was going to win. 1426 00:31:31.469 --> 00:31:31.790 They told, 1427 00:31:31.880 --> 00:31:33.849 they were telling you Bolsonaro had a good chance to win. 1428 00:31:34.069 --> 00:31:34.219 Um, 1429 00:31:34.270 --> 00:31:34.859 do we have the, 1430 00:31:34.989 --> 00:31:37.189 the market here by any chance on this Bolsonaro election? 1431 00:31:37.229 --> 00:31:37.930 You see here, 1432 00:31:38.479 --> 00:31:38.709 uh, 1433 00:31:38.910 --> 00:31:40.430 Bolsonaro was the underdog, 1434 00:31:40.670 --> 00:31:40.790 uh, 1435 00:31:40.910 --> 00:31:41.770 then kind of, 1436 00:31:41.819 --> 00:31:42.329 uh, 1437 00:31:42.390 --> 00:31:43.619 went to about a 50/50 race, 1438 00:31:43.670 --> 00:31:45.660 was the underdog again going into the first round, 1439 00:31:45.910 --> 00:31:48.329 then became the favorite going into the second round. 1440 00:31:48.989 --> 00:31:50.030 And if you see the end of this, 1441 00:31:50.150 --> 00:31:52.250 there's two basically straight up and down lines 1442 00:31:52.709 --> 00:31:53.790 because they flip-flopped.

1443 00:31:53.910 --> 00:31:55.030 Go back and give me like a, 1444 00:31:55.150 --> 00:31:55.239 a, 1445 00:31:55.310 --> 00:31:56.770 a month here on this chart. 1446 00:31:57.550 --> 00:31:58.709 And I'm gonna get a better view of it. 1447 00:31:59.199 --> 00:32:04.369 Bolsonaro was about a 75% favorite going into election day and wound up losing, 1448 00:32:04.439 --> 00:32:05.060 at least 1449 00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:06.579 according to the final count. 1450 00:32:06.959 --> 00:32:07.949 Lula won, 1451 00:32:08.500 --> 00:32:10.380 as only a 25% chance of winning. 1452 00:32:10.800 --> 00:32:11.280 What you, 1453 00:32:11.439 --> 00:32:11.640 you know, 1454 00:32:11.880 --> 00:32:11.959 what, 1455 00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:13.459 what is hard for people to understand, 1456 00:32:13.479 --> 00:32:15.069 cause I think a lot of times they look at this and they think, 1457 00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:15.239 0, 1458 00:32:15.280 --> 00:32:16.069 75%, 1459 00:32:16.280 --> 00:32:19.819 a a person who's 75% uh 75% 1460 00:32:19.949 --> 00:32:21.099 in a polling average 1461 00:32:21.439 --> 00:32:22.040 is a very, 1462 00:32:22.150 --> 00:32:22.439 very high, 1463 00:32:22.520 --> 00:32:24.619 like a almost 100% chance to win. 1464 00:32:25.150 --> 00:32:26.839 If you're 75% in a polling average, 1465 00:32:26.920 --> 00:32:28.890 that's different than 75% on a prediction market. 1466 00:32:28.979 --> 00:32:30.099 A prediction market is telling you 1467 00:32:30.439 --> 00:32:32.829 that 1 out of every 4 times this election occurs, 1468 00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:35.079 you should expect Lula to win it. 1469 00:32:36.569 --> 00:32:37.170 3 out of 4, 1470 00:32:37.209 --> 00:32:37.829 you should expect 1471 00:32:38.369 --> 00:32:39.619 Bolsonaro to win it. 1472 00:32:40.050 --> 00:32:41.689 This was one of those indications, 1473 00:32:42.050 --> 00:32:43.810 or one of those chances where um 1474 00:32:43.910 --> 00:32:45.209 uh the opposite happened, 1475 00:32:45.290 --> 00:32:46.890 where the underdog wins. 1476 00:32:46.969 --> 00:32:49.189 The underdog does win sometimes. 1477 00:32:50.979 --> 00:32:51.319 And, 1478 00:32:51.369 --> 00:32:51.500 you know, 1479 00:32:51.619 --> 00:32:53.959 when you think about prediction markets in a way. 1480 00:32:54.739 --> 00:32:55.280 They're not, 1481 00:32:55.500 --> 00:32:58.319 the information they're giving you aren't really predictions. 1482 00:32:58.619 --> 00:33:00.380 If like if you are on a prediction market, 1483 00:33:00.449 --> 00:33:01.199 if you're trading, 1484 00:33:01.739 --> 00:33:03.859 you are doing your best to predict the outcome. 1485 00:33:03.989 --> 00:33:05.579 That is your role in the process. 1486 00:33:05.699 --> 00:33:06.369 So in that way, 1487 00:33:06.489 --> 00:33:08.349 prediction markets are about predicting things. 1488 00:33:09.140 --> 00:33:11.530 When it comes to the output of a prediction market, 1489 00:33:11.829 --> 00:33:15.369 when at the end of the Fed day it says 70% favorite for someone like Bolsonaro, 1490 00:33:15.869 --> 00:33:17.569 what it is doing there is less 1491 00:33:18.109 --> 00:33:18.750 predicting. 1492 00:33:20.020 --> 00:33:22.040 and more of crystallizing 1493 00:33:22.660 --> 00:33:25.099 all of human knowledge into one number. 1494 00:33:26.400 --> 00:33:28.079 All the things that we think we know. 1495 00:33:28.199 --> 00:33:30.020 We could be wrong about some of those things. 1496 00:33:30.439 --> 00:33:31.709 That's why prediction markets, 1497 00:33:31.719 --> 00:33:32.500 markets aren't perfect, 1498 00:33:32.560 --> 00:33:33.040 and by the way, 1499 00:33:33.199 --> 00:33:34.319 here at Predictable with Stew, 1500 00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:35.859 we are happy they aren't perfect, 1501 00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:36.670 because if they were perfect, 1502 00:33:36.719 --> 00:33:38.219 it would be very difficult to make any money. 1503 00:33:38.550 --> 00:33:38.719 Um, 1504 00:33:38.760 --> 00:33:41.000 we look for the imperfections and try to take advantage of those. 1505 00:33:41.079 --> 00:33:42.380 That's what we do here all the time. 1506 00:33:42.750 --> 00:33:44.260 And there are some imperfections. 1507 00:33:44.270 --> 00:33:47.030 You can always find value in individual markets, 1508 00:33:47.099 --> 00:33:47.609 but what 1509 00:33:47.829 --> 00:33:49.609 prediction markets do really well, 1510 00:33:49.869 --> 00:33:50.290 is 1511 00:33:50.390 --> 00:33:51.650 if they tell you 1512 00:33:51.790 --> 00:33:52.930 a 70%, 1513 00:33:53.310 --> 00:33:55.530 there's a 70% chance of something happening, 1514 00:33:55.869 --> 00:33:56.589 over time, 1515 00:33:56.670 --> 00:33:57.609 what you'll see is, 1516 00:33:57.790 --> 00:34:00.380 there's a 70% chance of that thing happening. 1517 00:34:00.589 --> 00:34:01.829 We've told you multiple stories, 1518 00:34:01.900 --> 00:34:04.310 we should do multiple uh studies of this over time. 1519 00:34:04.380 --> 00:34:05.930 There's a new one out right now. 1520 00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:07.199 Uh, 1521 00:34:07.270 --> 00:34:07.839 calibration, 1522 00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:08.429 accuracy, 1523 00:34:08.438 --> 00:34:11.620 and domain variation across 1 million collective forecasts 1524 00:34:11.918 --> 00:34:12.760 from prediction 1525 00:34:12.958 --> 00:34:13.590 platforms. 1526 00:34:13.879 --> 00:34:14.188 Now, 1527 00:34:14.399 --> 00:34:17.830 I'm not gonna go through all the details of the study because I have a show to do and, 1528 00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:18.070 uh, 1529 00:34:18.080 --> 00:34:19.958 I don't want everyone to tune out. 1530 00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:20.438 OK, 1531 00:34:20.520 --> 00:34:20.629 I, 1532 00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:20.830 I, 1533 00:34:20.879 --> 00:34:21.179 I, 1534 00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:24.260 reading academic studies on the air is not exactly 1535 00:34:24.438 --> 00:34:25.899 the highest rating potential. 1536 00:34:26.120 --> 00:34:27.179 But what I will tell you is, 1537 00:34:27.478 --> 00:34:28.478 ideally,

1538 00:34:29.139 --> 00:34:30.399 This study would show you 1539 00:34:30.938 --> 00:34:34.438 a bunch of lines that go from the bottom left-hand corner of your screen 1540 00:34:34.780 --> 00:34:35.418 to the bottom, 1541 00:34:35.500 --> 00:34:37.199 or to the top right-hand corner of your screen. 1542 00:34:37.458 --> 00:34:38.360 There's a straight line, 1543 00:34:38.370 --> 00:34:41.409 and you hope that those predictions match that line. 1544 00:34:41.620 --> 00:34:43.780 Let me show you the results over all of these categories. 1545 00:34:43.860 --> 00:34:46.320 This is what they came up with over a million different contracts. 1546 00:34:46.540 --> 00:34:49.250 And what you see here for those listening on podcasts 1547 00:34:49.550 --> 00:34:50.389 are Lines 1548 00:34:50.530 --> 00:34:53.389 that go from the bottom left-hand corner of the box, 1549 00:34:53.810 --> 00:34:56.280 all the way up to the top right-hand corner of the box. 1550 00:34:56.688 --> 00:34:56.899 That, 1551 00:34:56.929 --> 00:34:57.159 uh, 1552 00:34:57.169 --> 00:34:58.949 typical straight line up, 1553 00:34:59.209 --> 00:34:59.439 uh, 1554 00:34:59.449 --> 00:35:01.169 to up and to the right is exactly what you 1555 00:35:01.169 --> 00:35:03.649 want and what you get in almost every category. 1556 00:35:03.729 --> 00:35:03.840 Now, 1557 00:35:03.879 --> 00:35:05.459 there are blips here. 1558 00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:07.489 A couple of the blips you might notice 1559 00:35:07.850 --> 00:35:08.300 are, 1560 00:35:08.330 --> 00:35:08.760 um, 1561 00:35:08.770 --> 00:35:10.409 in geopolitics. 1562 00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:11.540 A little bit, 1563 00:35:11.800 --> 00:35:12.080 um, 1564 00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:13.439 military conflicts, 1565 00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:14.969 notably unpredictable. 1566 00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:15.540 Uh, 1567 00:35:15.550 --> 00:35:15.659 uh, 1568 00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:17.120 there's a little bit of a bias. 1569 00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:17.909 Elections, 1570 00:35:17.919 --> 00:35:20.919 a tad when you go out over a long period of time. 1571 00:35:21.429 --> 00:35:23.320 Technology sometimes difficult to predict, 1572 00:35:23.520 --> 00:35:23.929 but I mean, 1573 00:35:24.010 --> 00:35:24.570 these things are, 1574 00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:24.879 what I'm, 1575 00:35:24.959 --> 00:35:25.840 what I'm saying they're difficult. 1576 00:35:25.879 --> 00:35:26.340 It's like 1577 00:35:26.780 --> 00:35:28.149 instead of being 100% accurate, 1578 00:35:28.169 --> 00:35:31.159 it's like 98% or 95% or 90% accurate. 1579 00:35:31.540 --> 00:35:32.100 You see, 1580 00:35:32.179 --> 00:35:35.340 there is very little variation from this line showing, 1581 00:35:35.659 --> 00:35:36.399 once again, 1582 00:35:36.620 --> 00:35:36.770 you know, 1583 00:35:36.830 --> 00:35:38.060 this is not the 1st study that showed this, 1584 00:35:38.100 --> 00:35:40.719 this is like the 5th or 6th that we featured on this show, 1585 00:35:41.139 --> 00:35:42.899 that when you use prediction markets, 1586 00:35:42.939 --> 00:35:45.320 they are the greatest tool we have to understand 1587 00:35:45.699 --> 00:35:46.149 the world. 1588 00:35:46.989 --> 00:35:47.350 That is, 1589 00:35:47.439 --> 00:35:47.969 that's it 1590 00:35:48.699 --> 00:35:50.439 That's one of the reasons why I do this show. 1591 00:35:50.860 --> 00:35:50.979 Yes, 1592 00:35:51.060 --> 00:35:52.580 I do it also to make money 1593 00:35:52.860 --> 00:35:53.479 because I like, 1594 00:35:53.500 --> 00:35:53.649 uh, 1595 00:35:53.659 --> 00:35:54.500 being in prediction markets. 1596 00:35:54.540 --> 00:35:55.090 And again, 1597 00:35:55.260 --> 00:35:56.850 if prediction markets were just gambling, 1598 00:35:56.899 --> 00:35:59.959 I can tell you I wouldn't have be up in every single year, 1599 00:36:00.419 --> 00:36:00.560 uh, 1600 00:36:00.570 --> 00:36:03.439 that I've been in prediction markets since I started over a decade ago. 1601 00:36:03.659 --> 00:36:03.739 Uh, 1602 00:36:03.780 --> 00:36:04.020 it's, 1603 00:36:04.060 --> 00:36:04.919 it wouldn't be, 1604 00:36:05.139 --> 00:36:05.189 uh, 1605 00:36:05.260 --> 00:36:06.979 you can't replicate that unless you're some, 1606 00:36:07.060 --> 00:36:07.260 you know, 1607 00:36:07.409 --> 00:36:07.860 genius, 1608 00:36:07.939 --> 00:36:08.260 uh, 1609 00:36:08.340 --> 00:36:08.500 you know, 1610 00:36:08.699 --> 00:36:09.300 professional gambler, 1611 00:36:09.379 --> 00:36:10.360 maybe some of them can. 1612 00:36:10.580 --> 00:36:11.169 I can't. 1613 00:36:11.370 --> 00:36:12.530 All I know is when I gamble, 1614 00:36:12.580 --> 00:36:13.360 I lose, 1615 00:36:13.689 --> 00:36:13.820 uh, 1616 00:36:13.899 --> 00:36:14.419 when I, 1617 00:36:14.500 --> 00:36:15.500 I'm on prediction markets, 1618 00:36:15.659 --> 00:36:16.540 I typically win. 1619 00:36:16.739 --> 00:36:17.379 Not every time. 1620 00:36:17.790 --> 00:36:19.169 But over a long period of time, 1621 00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:20.199 and that's what you should look at when 1622 00:36:20.199 --> 00:36:21.600 you're looking at the accuracy of these markets. 1623 00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:21.979 So, 1624 00:36:22.120 --> 00:36:24.340 when you think you're smart and you go on Twitter 1625 00:36:24.469 --> 00:36:24.840 and you say, 1626 00:36:24.919 -->

00:36:37.929 Perhaps it would be notable for you to go back 1634 00:36:37.929 --> 00:36:39.709 and look at the academic studies that have been done 1635 00:36:39.850 --> 00:36:40.629 to show 1636 00:36:40.770 --> 00:36:41.929 that what they say, 1637 00:36:42.090 --> 00:36:43.239 a 70% favorite,
