I'm away from a computer for the next few days, and I'll resolve this then. If anyone wants this resolved sooner, let me know

predicted NO

Looks like this will come down to Pelosi retirement and whether Tom decides to take the beginning or end of Feb 1 as the price point.

predicted YES

Here's a spreadsheet. In most scenarios Manifold does better. Still @TomShlomi, could you clarify what happens with the unemployment rate and Joe Biden still president markets? The manifold probability changed over the course of the day on Feb 1 for those markets.

@BoltonBailey I'll use the probabilities from 12:00AM ET

predicted YES

@TomShlomi Thanks for clarifying!
