Eric Adams is on the rise according to the online wagering outfit PredictIt, which on Saturday gave the Democratic contender a 55 percent chance of winning the mayoral race.
The figure was a big jump up from his 37 percent chance on Friday.
PredicIt, a site where users bet on political results, is run by a New Zealand university — and is known for its accurate forecasting.
The D.C.-based operation charges fees to traders who gain (and lose) real money as they try to foretell the ups and downs of political campaigns.
The site also provides market data for academic research.
