The final uncalled race of the 2018 midterms, California's 21st Congressional District, has been called for the Democrat. This means that the Democrats have picked up a total of 40 seats in the House and that @Judas is the winner of Facepunch Predicts the 2018 Midterms, with a guess that was just 1 Senate seat away from being dead-on. https://i.imgur.com/qutOGYV.png Spend your 2018 coins wisely, Judas. Here are some other findings. The average of all guesses was very close to the final result Check row 18 of the Google sheet for the average. As a group, we overestimated the Democrats in the House by 3 seats, and in the Senate by 2 seats. @Jordax ya blew it With the most incorrect prediction of the night, Jordax was one of the only users to forecast that the GOP would maintain control of the House and gain seats in the Senate. Reply to this thread to receive a diamond as consolation. More people guessed the House outcome correctly than the Senate This surprises me, because the range of possible outcomes in the Senate was so much smaller than in the House. Nonetheless, only @bishibosh , @Noubi , and renowned Facepunch moderator @smurfy guessed that the Democrats would end up with 47 seats in the Senate. Unfortunately, only those who correctly guessed the House had their Senate guess considered, so this counts for nothing! The tiebreaker didn't have to be used I was crossing my fingers that I wouldn't have to roll out the tiebreaker, which was that the earliest submission wins. If Judas hadn't entered, there would have been a tie between @lifehole and @spenber , with the former user winning the tiebreak. Fortunately, it didn't come to that.

Oh well I guess all these gifs of Scrooge Mcduck will go to waste.
How long before a stack of uncounted predictions shows up in a post office in Florida?
2250 coins didnt expand my e-penis as much as I hoped
Donate them back, this competition has left me destitute
I made a terrible guess anyways. Congratulations Judas.
It's pretty clear that @Judas hacked the election to match his own prediction, leaving it one seat off so no one would get suspicious
actually I bet all my stock on Beto
And an unmarked absentee ballot!
unrelated question, who has the most coins on FP? I need to know if I am the 1%
If it were 30 coins. This would've been way more ironic.
@Noob© by a country mile
I propose we tax the richest 1% to shower the poorest 99% with diamonds!
bernie can still win
Somehow it's not surprising that one of the most transparently biased users on the site also make the most biased and delusional prediction.
I have 350 coins right now. I don't know where the poor and needy are, nor where to do my taxes so these coins just sit there doing nothing. Suggestions are welcome.
im poor and needy, my avatar is thick but short, I need something to make it longer.
