Betting Pool Results: President and US Senate

The final results aren't yet certified, but the updated BDN numbers should be close enough to determine the winners and losers of the MainePolitics.net betting pool. Rankings were determined by taking the total error in all the predictions made for candidates in a particular race and dividing by 2.

First up, the top five results for the presidential election:


Almost everyone gave this race to Obama by a wide margin. This is the last time you'll see my name at the top of a chart. The Senate race and Question 3 sunk my chances of winning the pool.


In the US Senate race, almost everyone predicted a much closer election than what actually occurred, and a couple participants even gave Allen the win. Dan L., Duke and the students of Maine predicted a big margin for the lady in red and easily beat the rest of the field.
