Biden NO's on Debate Loser are still somehow for sale, despite him not being in the debate, and thus being an automatic win for NO.

made about 60% of my funds on tonight's debate. time to put most of that on BIDENNO? seems kind of expensive at $.57, but he has to decide soon, right?

Cashed out of all of my Biden No's to run. I still like it, but there's free money in the mean time. Hopefully some silly story comes out that gets people all riled up again.

Managed to snag 629 Biden debate win NO's for $0.97 and 879 debate lose No's for $0.97. Thanks for the free $45

I don't understand the O'Malley to win the debate market, dipped my toes in there too.

Unless you see a quick return on your other stuff, I think you made a mistake. A lot of Biden YES people were hedging on Hillary flaming out in the debate, and now that she's shown she's fine on stage it seems less likely he jumps in. Plus, the market will essentially close (or jump up to .80ish and stay there) on Halloween which isn't that far away, investment-wise.

This is a very accurate assessment. I think NO will be 70 by the end of the week.

Maybe, but remember, the bet isn't anything to do with that, it's only about polls that come out between now and one week from now. That's not a ton of time. The effects of the debate may not even impact the polls that are released within a week. I think Sanders to "lose" is the smart bet because his 35% poll is coming off the books next.

Bought around $0.40, sold around $0.55, I'm ok with that. That's almost 40% return on a max bet. Only have to wait a week for the debate stuff to close out, then I'll see where Biden is at again. I've got about half a max bet for Diamond Joe NO for the D Nom, so I'll be happy either way.

Yeah, all this did was really calm my nerves and reassure myself since I'm at about 75% in on Biden NO now, average .41.

edit 75% of my portfolio, not 75% of $850. Yikes.

Betting against Sanders' monthly poll numbers seems pretty good right now. It's 36 cents for a no share, he's sitting at 25.1% right now, and the next poll to drop will be one that had him at 35%. Not exactly a guaranteed bet, but I like it.

e: betting against Paul Ryan being the next speaker seems pretty smart, too.

That is a good catch. I just got some at 37. But I'm going against you for Paul Ryan. Betting that the establishment manages to guilt trip him into doing it

Yeah the speaker market is way too iffy. Paul Ryan might get one of his dead hookers brought up and forced into it and he might be feeling morose over his future presidential aspirations since the current crop of republicans are absolutely poisoning the brand (that poison is loving stark right now after the democrat debate looked to be so much more adult than the republican insanity), but at the same time he seems pretty immune to party machinations. But there's literally no one else who can win unless the 'sensible' side of the republican party decides it's to their benefit to give in to Webster.

Honestly if there were a market for "will the house be a clusterfuck until 2017" I'd buy a shitload of YES at this point.

I personally just think the GOP can't get the votes on him, and I can't imagine what the GOP would give him that would compensate for his work-life balance (which is already apparently under severe strain) so I bought a hundred NO shares or so.

EDIT: Also holding on to Biden NO shares for now and hoping for another bounce after Sunday. Fingers crossed it'll crash again before the Benghazi hearing on the 22nd, though.

There is no surer bet than the GOP house loving themselves up at every opportunity. Ryan won't run unless he has full support and there is no chance the freedom caucus goes along with that. Right wing media is already against him and getting more vocal about his amnesty support.

I'm pretty sure that Webster's district is one of those most likely to flip to a Democratic one after Florida's court ordered redraw. So that would be a hilarious choice that would take advantage of the Speaker not having to be a member in the future.

When you put it that way...

...you have a point. My mind is bound by logic and the laws of physics. For that matter so is Ryan's brain. I am incapable of grasping the hatred the ultra right wing has for political reality and governing. NO isn't easy money either. I'm sitting this one out.

Sold my 60 shares for a total loss of about $4.00.

I know I'm some kind of gambling addict because the the hundred dollars I made in four hours last night buying at 50 and selling at 60 is way better than sitting at my desk manipulating numbers and making two hundred an hour.

It's really fun, way better than actual gambling because I finally found a reason why I've spent the last decade reading worthless political news. I was just developing instincts.

Either Biden or the media will need to play him up and build some drama for the big dinner event (name is slipping my mind). Otherwise, all the big Yes boosters are melting down and lots of people look to be cutting losses, which is equivalent to a big No buy order. Solid wall of such orders down to 50c now.
