Fiorina dropout by the 12th is priced at .47c right now for NO. Is she really that much of a sure thing to drop after NH?

What don't you get? Have you been reading my posts saying how he has no money, no support, and is polling below the threshold needed to get any delegates in NH, a place where he's dumped all his available campaign cash? He's flying to South Carolina on Wednesday by all accounts, but Mike Huckabee was flying to New Hampshire up until last Monday night. It's up to you if you want to believe Christie's word but the rest of that information is the actual situation on the ground and it does not look favorable for him.

Oh, I completely understand that- I'm more surprised at the lack of response to the RCP article. After the Trump debate debacle I'm surprised there aren't more people driving up the price and commenting along the lines of 'wow I already maxed out but wish I could buy more- I'd get in on any price; his words are right there people!" There are plenty of reasons why people should be suspicious of anything Christie says (and they're well founded, IMO) but I expected some more hook, line, & sinker investments by now.

It seems that whenever I expect users to make the smart move they astound me with their knee-jerks and when I suspect them to make the knee-jerks they're amazingly reserved. Perhaps the problem lies within??

I've seen similar reactions recently to the Kasich internal polling. Expected a bump but instead the 2nd place market moved in the opposite direction. Maybe I was the only one who believed it wasn't fabricated pro-Kasich fluff? So yeah I hear ya.

The Bloomberg presidential market is going crazy. There is a Financial Times article and CNBC article that just came out that is driving up the he will run. I don't see any new info, other than Bernie and Trump will do well in NH. I just picked up some NO at 60 cents.

Just so we're clear about Christie, he apparently does have events at a BBQ place and a package shack in SC Wed. night and Thursday and a month ago he bought ads in the state. Take that for what it's worth moving ahead.

He's an excellent GOP candidate for New York but running him as a national candidate with his record and stance on issues like abortion, gay rights, tax and immigration reform, etc. is hilarious.

I'm not really sure what his game is, but he might genuinely believe Sanders can win. Once Hillary wraps up the Dem nomination, Bloomberg will back off and support her (assuming Trump gets the R Nom, which I'm skeptical of).

Is there a good reason I shouldn't buy Trump winning NH at $0.89? I realize he'll likely under-perform his polling numbers, but he's still up by like 15 points at RCP and the media narrative has turned against Rubio since the debate. Is Trump losing really plausible?

Given how he performed in Iowa, in a caucus, against Ted Cruz, NH is a loving lock imo. As another poster put it, Donald could have 50% of his supporters show up to vote, with everyone else receiving 125% support, and still pull it in.

The only reason not to buy Trump YES in NH is because you want to make more money elsewhere. It's pretty much a sure thing at this point.

Great job on the Bernie/Hillary buys. For the Kasich lotto ticket, look into doing what I did and buy him winning the more moderate northern and mid western, ie VT, MA, and MN Super Tuesday. They spiked a lot when it looked like he might be the default establishment choice, but they are returning to more normal levels. I sold some VT for 20 cents earlier, but its down to 12. They are thinly traded so be patient. You could also buy some for him to win the nomination. It was 12 earlier today but the last trade was at 7. There is more liquidity there.

I see those bets doubling if he comes in as the top establishment choice.

Yeah I actually ended up cancelling the Kasich orders. I still want that Trump no JUST IN CASE. That's a good idea re other states though--I'll look around and see if I can find any good flipping opportunities.

Agreed about Rubio, but I'm one of the people who thinks Cruz has practically zero chance so to me he's overvalued.

Btw the midnight votes gave Cruz and Kasich boosts for NH win, because people who use predictit are stupid.
