Description

Bet on if you think congress will pass a long-term budget (until anytime in October or later) or another CR (continuing resolution) / short-term spending bill (until the end or anytime in February, March, or April-September) or will the government shutdown again. The current CR (passed Jan. 22) expires on Feb. 8 at 11:59 PM ET.

Decision Logic

Will be decided based on news reports and congress.gov. If a budget is pass for most of 2018 until anytime in October or later, full budget will win. Otherwise, another short-term budget (what is normally referred to as a CR) will resolve this depending on when the CR will expire. This will resolve early depending on what passes.

@BetMoose indeed, it's my fault, it was I who reported. I failed to notice that it was indeed possible for both this and https://www.betmoose.com/bet/will-there-be-a-government-shutdown-on-february-9-4024#bets-1 to have 'inconsistent' results due to one's deadline being fev 8 23:59 and the other fev 9 8:00. It's as @eric2017 stated

@eric2017 yup, this is pretty unambiguous

@BenCarson @BetMoose @Avalon Unsure why this outcome was disputed. If a budget passed before midnight, this would have resolved differently. Since there was a shutdown overnight, that's why I resolved this as that.
