You’re reaching now...it didn’t take long...it took ONE day lol...fastest investigation I’ve ever seen.

Are you suggesting Bernie will win by a wide margin? That’d be a neat trick for sure


I think what Falcon is saying is: Why is it, that the NYT, CNN, MSNBC, etc, with all of their journalistic resources, are reporting things that are flat out untrue, which youtube journalists get right, days prior.

The mainstream media likes to do this bait-and-switch journalism, where they fabricate some bullshit, to fit their desired narrative, and then come back later to 'correct' their mistake. There's no guarantee that the people who saw their fabrication will also see the correction. In this way, it is a very effective method of shaping public opinion, while still covering their ass.


All I’m saying is that NYT doesn’t belong to that list. They run all kinds of stories - not just what benefits establishment candidates.
They used statistics to make an educated guess based on data from The Associated Press, which they cited as a source. It seems like a good guess considering how slim the margins will be, regardless who the winner is.

No, I'm suggesting a lot of us knew Bernie was going to win while the clueless NY Times gave him a 1.5% "Barely possible" chance.  Why is the NY Times so clueless?

And I'm saying the NY Times is lying when they say Bernie only has a 54% of winning, when it's more like 100%.  Again, why is the NY Times so clueless?


How is it that Falcon was able to make that bet, in full confidence, while the NYT was still saying that there was more than 95% chance that mayor Pete would emerge victorious.

The NYT is not acting in good faith. That's what this comes down to. They certainly have more resources than Falcon92Wolvrn03 does.


It’s about staying reputable. They can’t make accusations without indisputable proof BECAUSE they have all those resources.
Right when the numbers changed, their prediction changed, as per the science of statistics. When they concluded an investigation on the Iowa caucuses, they promptly reported on the inconsistencies.

I would like to thank the IDP, DNC, and MSM for helping me clear 200% in the iowa caucus market on PI over the last couple days.  I don't even care at this point if they give peyey-boy a few extra sdes.  Bros made plenty of money on the crazy swings.  I'll be giving Bernie 10%.  Hold on to your asses, Bernie bettors are gonna make money in all markets after Biden craters in NH.
Happy investing

If you call a news agency "reputable" that keeps getting proven wrong, while alternative news knows exactly what's going on, I'm going to trust the alternative news.  :shrug:

200.  I rolled most of it into other bets.  Portfolio up another 100 since last night.

It sounds more impressive as a percentage though, lol

My man... You know, it feels like we're privy to insider knowledge, just by having alternative news sources.. It feels like insider trading or something lol.

I need to get in on some of these bets. I knew Bernie was gonna win long before her emerged victorious.

You know, the MSM hasn't even acknowledged Bernie as the winner, though. What metric were they using on your betting page? Was it popular vote numbers?

I'm hesitant to start gambling... Because I have a very addictive personality, and tend to go buck wild. I would have put a grand on Bernie winning Iowa..

I tried to bet on Bernie for Iowa, but PA doesn't allow that type of betting, and I'm too lazy to figure out a workaround.

The NYT doesn’t “keep getting proven wrong” though. The needle was a guess - it says so right on top of the page, for those who don’t already know that NYT can’t see into the future.

If justice prevails there will be a recount (or w.e. the backward caucus version of a recount is)

But they were wrong about so many things me and others warned about, such as Trump-Russia collusion.  They didn't require evidence, like 'reputable' sources do.

Funny how alternative news is able to 'see into the future', and how I knew it was safe to make the signature bet with you when the NY Times said I had only a 1.5% chance of winning.

Now that everyone knows the election was rigged, and the establishment is trying to figure out the best way to get out of it.  I suspect they'll fire the chair of Iowa elections, which means nothing because that's not the guy's main job, and if they're smart they'll figure out a way to make it look like an establishment candidate helped expose this.

feldman114 said:

Justice has already failed.  The establishment media is still pushing the narrative that 'Buttigieg is leading'.

I'm still so confident that you're going to lose your bet on the NY Times, that I'm willing to up the stakes from 3 months to 6 months if you want.  You should consider it; after all the NY Times still says you still have a 46% chance of winning.
