In the first session of the 2020 Political Prediction Conference, from American Civics Exchange (amciv.com) and OldBull.TV:

A one-on-one discussion between host Flip Pidot and Harry Crane (harrycrane.com), Associate Professor of Statistics and Co-Graduate Director at Rutgers University, who presents his Fundamental Principle of Probability and why "freerolling" journalistic election forecasters fail to live up to it.

Dr. Crane crunches the numbers to see how Nate Silver's celebrated 538 election model stacks up against what Silver calls the "dumb money" forecasts of prediction markets like PredictIt.
