As of question creation, polymatter has Joe Biden's chance of winning the democratic nomination at 0.75¢ (Buy Yes 75¢) vs manifold's 84%.

Which will be more accurate?

Resolution criteria:

Whichever happens first

  • Polymarket (yes buy) gets to 84%: Yes

  • Manifold gets to 75%: No

  • They converge at 83-80: Yes

  • They converge at 76-79: No

I will not bet in this market. (But may bet on the manifold market)

lol these guys are currently giving Michelle Obama 7%...

This isn't a market about what is more accurate as it is almost impossible to make such a market as you need multiple samples (multiple elections - and using state results doesn't work due to correlated error).

This is mostly likely to resolve to Polymarket > 85. But that is because Biden is heavily favored to win on both markets.


I expect Polymarket and Manifold to not converge until August 2024. And maybe not even then.

@MaybeNotDepends I agree it's far from perfect.

I recommend Ben's market for what you're after.
