Are tossups for cowards?

Absolutely not, especially considering Biden only won the E.V. by around 43,000 votes. If those 43,000 voters across Georgia, Arizona, and Wisconsin switched to Trump, we would not be looking at a President Biden. I think it's important to put tossups to emphasize the close races/states which could determine the outcome of the election.

I usually don't use tossups since I like to put more confidence into my takes, but for my early 2022 predictions I might use them due to the level of uncertainty this far out.

As I see it, a tossup prediction is a prediction the race will be close.  For instance, in the 2022 Wisconsin and Nevada Senate races, I predicted Ron Johnson and Catherine Cortez Masto would win but had them as tossups on the confidence map.  Both Johnson and Cortez Masto won by 1%, so I consider those predictions to be very accurate.

But in Arizona, I predicted Mark Kelly would win and had it as a tossup.  Kelly won the race by 5%.  So that prediction was a little off, even though it was technically correct.
