Announcing the Georgia Political Prediction Market.

I’ve long been fascinated with prediction markets such as Kalshi and PredictIt. Last year, I was chatting with some friends, and we thought it would be cool if there was a prediction market focused on Georgia politics and the Legislative session. Over the holidays, I put together a rudimentary prediction market that will, hopefully, let Peach Pundit readers, Gold Dome insiders, and observers predict what will happen during the legislative session and the upcoming elections.

Here’s how it works:

Each member receives 10,000 shares with which to make predictions. There’s a list of markets and shares, with each predicting “yes” or “no” on each question, that drives the price of those markets up or down. Each market begins with a price of .50.

Members will remain anonymous so that no one gets in trouble for a prediction they make. The point is to have fun and get a glimpse of how our readers and Gold Dome insiders are thinking.

The link to the current open markets is here.

I’ll post market prices regularly and add and close markets as needed.

If you’re interested in becoming a member and trading in these markets, shoot me an email.

Current markets include the Special Election in Congressional district 14, the runoff election in State Senate district 18, long-term predictions for the Governor and U.S. Senate races, and a few key issues that Legislative leaders have been discussing.

Disclaimer: I’ve tested this, but as trade volume increases, it’s always possible that problems may arise. Bear with me.
