That's the thing, it's going to be tough betting on these things since none of them are going to be trying to win at this point. They have switched to full on panic, keep Trump from 1237 mode. So whereas if Rubio were trying to win, he'd never gently caress with Idaho, he's been shipped out to say he loves Idaho just to keep Trump's delegate count low.

Might be good for Trump, what with Rubio/Cruz/Casich continuing to split the not-trump vote in a more targeted manner. Plus, as doubtful as it is, who knows if Carson people will join the Trump camp given how Cruz ratfucked him.

Idaho has a 20% threshold. Louisiana and Mississippi also do but Trump's going to crush both. The other states this weekend and Monday are all 0-10% and therefore each extra vote is worth less delegates.

You can either read this as "Idaho is winnable" or "Rubio won't hit 20% in LA or MS anyway so why try". Cruz should hit 20% in both naturally so he's probably trying to win Idaho for real.

Just to be clear, though, the 538 tracking thing has Trump on track with 130 of the next 271 delegates and he's probably going to win about 150.

Overreaction. This'll happen a few more times this cycle after every time someone important flails around a bit. The market is made up of people that don't want to be the last holding Trump shares and they'll sell whenever they can.

This is a really good buying opportunity as long as you time the flips right. I sold 8K at 83% before it corrected.

True, I'd point out Rubio spent most of his pre super tuesday in VA though, where he thought he could win, even though it was probably the least useful place delegate wise since it was proportional. Also spent time in MN. Anyway, Idaho has a fairly decent sized Mormon population, who don't seem enamored with Trump in general so far based on polling.

Idaho is totally unpredictable for me. Mormons, Jesus freaks and militia racists will each break for the three candidates.

I actually have little faith Trump can win a lot of states west of the Mississippi. Oregon and Arizona are the most likely imo

For me, RNOM is trying to figure out when it's exactly going to bottom out for Trump (could go even lower after debate) then buy up again.

Who will speak the most at tonight's debate? It was Rubio for the debate without Trump in January, and Cruz for the other one in January and the one in February. I'm buying a few cheap Trump No shares.

I thought at the last debate Cruz and Rubio would go at it like the had been - turns out they actually both attacked Trump. I simply can't see him being anything but on the defense from more attacks tonight, which means more response time.

(totally buying in a good few cheap Kasich shares for the debate once they bottom out, c'mon Kasich hail mary)

Yeah what it this. Romney gives a speech about why Trump is bad - do people think it's really going to finally sway voters against Trump?

I mean, honestly his speech was good but only if you're like any sane person and already agree with it. It's not going to convince anyone who isn't already opposed to Trump. Maybe it'll embolden them, but at this point all Romney and co are doing is hurting the GOP's chances in the general by rallying and justifying anti-Trump feelings too late to stop him.

Buy no at 12, sell at 22. Buy yes at 78, sell at 88. Repeat.

This isn't really the correct answer, the correct answer is that it's Trump+5 right now at 31/26.

I bought a bunch of Trump YES in OH at 44c. If you read my earlier posts in this thread you'll see that I based this on absolutely nothing concrete.

Per RCP's last poll, Trump is +13 in KY as of 2/26

Per RCP's last poll, Trump is +17 in IL as of 2/24 (+15.5 average with a poll that ended 2/20)

Current prices: 72/74 in IL, 72/73 in KY :psyduck: Not just RNOM that's (imo) overreacting to Romney's speech and ignoring demographics/polls

Wish I hadn't lost so much in Minnesota and Alaska so I had more to bet here...

you lost money in two states with sparse polling, where trump was assumed to be ahead but lost badly

now you are proclaiming that trump is a must buy in two more sparsely-polled states?

seems like you've lost the plot a little bit
