that seems like the unsafest market in the world right now. i really don't know what to think of early votes vs trump surge

Cruz will probably win Texas. Poll averaging, campaign infrastructure advantages, etc. point to a Cruz win.

Still have about 130 shares left of the 800 I bought yesterday. Going to sell them between 7 and 8 eastern time no matter what price I get. I'm monitoring Oklahoma. I'm in deeper than I want to be for Hillary so I'm a seller on any spike. I'm going to decide Minnesota based on how muchTrump overperforms or underperforms in MA and VT

I'm even more bullish on Trump right now (outside of Texas, where over half the votes have already been cast in early voting). On Sunday you had every racist in the county sit down and watch the Oscars, where lots of racism got called out (and called out on people far more liberal than your regular Republican primary voter). Trump has the racist vote cornered, and I have a feeling a lot of the #AllLivesMatter crowd is gonna pull out their Trump votes Tuesday to stick a finger in the eye of all this racism talk they've had to listen to.

what is the best way to request a market?

I emailed support this morning requesting 3 new markets, and have heard 0 response.

We obviously need a Trump debate market asap.

Line up some guarenteed bets on other states (i.e that Hillary will win them, and that bernie wins vermont) and just take your pick for Minnesota. You should at least cover most of your losses with the minor gains on the sure bets.

Bullshit they watched the Oscars. Nobody watches the Oscars, least of all Trump loving racists looking for validation from Hollywood.

Early voting, too. Over the 11-day early voting period, a total of 1,107,607 Texans (making up 12% of registered voters) cast ballots. A little over 658,000 voted Republican. In any other state this would benefit Trump the most, but Cruz is the front runner here and the consensus is early voting's going to help him out a lot tomorrow.

I just doubled down.

Polls are open Election Day from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time. So the earliest we'll hear anything is probably 12:00 a.m. Eastern (Wednesday).

edit: Apparently some of the outlying islands are Hawaiian time, not sure how this affects the results.

FWIW it is actually more than that, those stats are only among the 15 largest counties. If you project the same turnout rate onto the overall electorate it is likely more like 1.6 million votes so far, and 900k-1m Republican votes so far.

Anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 week. Usually a day or so, though.

Also I hope the early voting talking points don't come off as confirmation bias on my part. I am definitely interested in peer critique/validation so if I'm wildly off on this someone slap me so I can dump $500+ in shares before the polls close tomorrow.

Texas is going to have a huge loving turnout. I think that's the first time I've ever entertained that thought.

I'm incredibly interested how my county (Williamson, deep reactionary suburb of Austin) votes. I think Cruz wins it, we're Respectable People here. Trump wins a few East Texas congressional districts, book it.

I still have 500 shares of Trump No Minnesota I could probably sell at a profit of 8c a share. Or I could make $350. Someone convince me to sell.

wow why on earth is trump YES only going for 72c in AR still... It never made any sense to me that he'd lose there, especially given his biggest competition is Cruz, who has been sliding, while Rubio has been gaining nationally - if anything I guess those two cannibalize the "not-trump" vote

No polls on RCP except the one from 3 days after Iowa where Cruz was up. Like I posted earlier, I got $1,500 worth at 60 cents by waiting around and refilling my own sell orders for a week.

Seems like that super-early exit polling data is pushing my Hillary winning Oklahoma shares up 45%. Debating if I really think she'll pull it off or if I should cash out now.

I think it'll definitely settle where it's at until we get early results or exit polls, so if you feel like those could tip it back, that's a pretty sweet profit.
