Trump in Mississippi is at 90c, and the election's tomorrow. Is there any reason I shouldn't buy a lot?

I would buy at 80-85. 90's on the border.

I've expressed misgivings in other states, but I think Mississippi for Trump is about as safe as it gets.

Hillary yes/ Bernie no in Michigan tomorrow is still in the low 90's, despite every single poll giving Hillary a double-digit lead. Not a bad return for a 99% sure thing.

Maxed on this here, Illinois, North Carolina, and working on Florida but it's only dipped to 92 cents once since opening.

It is but I've yet to encounter a real Trump supporter here. Given I don't hang around the known KKK areas. The waspy St Charles County types I know don't like Trump but they're pretty divided between the not-Trumps.

I would be very cautious of Trump in caucus states though.

Idaho probably going to go the way of Kansas, Oklahoma, etc. Cruz & Sanders.

I am not necessarily going to stay to the end. Trump fluctuates a lot, so I will probably get out on a bump. I live in MO. The general consensus seems to be that many independents are going Trump.

I got in on (18, ID) (39, MO) and (78, FL). I think the FL is pretty safe from everything I have seen.

I'm loading up big on Sanders in Michigan, I'm expecting a possible upset with the black population in Detroit after his stellar debate performance last night:

These are issues I don't see HRC confronting, and I think now is the time where it finally bites her in the rear end. I'm ready to profit off of it. :twisted:

I like Cruz NO in Idaho right now. He may win it, but 75% chance? The only (not great) poll isnt good for him, it is an open primary. Rubio has been active there and on TV there. Trump will get his. Seems like a decent gamble.

Also in Trump Missouri

The Idaho GOP primary is closed.

Edit: Actually I may have read something misleading. Sites have the primary listed as "Closed" but there might actually be same-day registration.

Edit2: Yeah it allows same-day registration.

I read the same thing before. But yeah, same day reg makes it more effectively function like an open primary. I lean towards Cruz having an advantage there, but a slim one.


Also, these Michigan polls are mixed but there does seem to be some Kasichmentum. Took a flyer on Kasich at 12 cents.

It's odd that there was a big to-do about having closed primaries but they still allow same-day registration. Good news for Trump, anyway.

Closed just means you have to be a registered Republican or Democrat to vote. It doesn't have anything to do with when you can change that registration. It's a weird distinction that's confusing.

There are varying definitions and also semi-closed. But as far as I'm concerned, what matters is if a person who is not a registered republican(or Democrat) can vote on election day. And further, if someone not registered can vote. The more difficult it is for someone who is not a long time registered republican to vote, the worst for Trump, and vice versa.

I'm trying to understand why Kasich NO is so undervalued in Ohio. He hasn't led in a single poll there, has he? I mean, it's his home state, but he has zero momentum, no states, I just don't see Ohioans wanting to throw their vote away on a man who is guaranteed to lose.

He's been polling well elsewhere recently, and there's a real or perceived Trump slump. That's about it.

Trump has been underperforming his polls for about a week now. Kasich is the pretty popular governor of Ohio. I think that's what's making people shaky about Trump. He appears to be on a down swing.

Idaho GOP market has been very swingy today. Trump No was as low as 61c and as high as 78c.

Made $40 and got out. I think Cruz is the favorite (despite the effectively open primary) but not at these prices.

By the way, for all those rent-seeking cowards trying to earn nothing more than reasonable interest on your corporate megabux, Rubio No in Idaho is available at 95c. Rubio will not be winning Idaho.

The Enda Kenny market is getting Romney-Run levels of annoying. His chances are razor-thin, but the market still has him at 50%. I basically have to wait until Thursday when he doesn't make it to actually get cashed out on this.

EDIT: The market is also crazy-thin and spread out, with the lowest buy available being 50 shares at $0.57, and the highest sell available being 27 shares at $0.49.

Cruz YES is my lotto ticket tomorrow. I have yet to win one but this is probably my best chance tomorrow. No early voting in MS and when you take that away Cruz actually won Louisiana by a fraction of a point. Plus Trump downtrend is real, even if it's a little.

Add this to the ARG poll, the KS results, the ME results, and the Louisiana E-day v early vote and there is a moderate amount of evidence that Trump started falling at the end of last week. Not conclusive at all but worth considering with any bets right now.
