That was weird.

This was actually me selling my NO shares down to 65c so that I could throw more money at Bernie.NO :negative:

Before last night i was mostly convinced the GOP side could get messy on predictit and people were too over-confident on the favorites in each state based on limited data and mostly unreliable pollsters.

Turns out my idea was right but it was Michigan Democratic side :aaa:

March 15th is going to be really interesting. My only play so far was picking up a bunch of Hillary at discount last night because the Bernie surge last night went real overboard. Florida at 80 cents? sure.

GOP side i'm really, really happy I profit took on FL a couple days ago and got out of trump no.

Also I like Trump NO for DC Conv right now, around 60~

Why would Republican voters in DC, a majority of whom work for the federal government or as a government contractor (or rely on these people to supplement their income), vote for the candidate most likely to alter the foundation of their well-being? I just don't see it, no matter what the betting market says.

I poured the rest of my money into Hillary IL at a discount after last night. It was trading in the 70s yesterday with a brief dip into the 60s. Another "sure thing" since it's her birth state and the last poll had her +30.5!

Soooo so loving glad I decided to just get a small profit on my Sanders NO and not let it ride when I went to the store. Managed to sell all my 37 cent shares at 38 and avoided a massive blowout. Sorry for the losses in this thread.

Anecdotal so take this with a grain of salt: I live in NoVA and regularly hang out in DC and Trump is massively unpopular here. Take note that NoVA massively went for Rubio in the VA election despite Trump ultimately winning it. If I weren't stuck in a conference for the next two weeks Id put money on Trump.No

Neither do I but you probably can take Alexandria's results from 01 Mar, swap Rubio and Kasich, and more-or-less have yourself a solid position for Saturday.

The DC thing is a really good bellwether for what the establishment does now that Rubio is dead and there is no one to turn to. I wouldn't be surprised to see Kasich win it but Cruz will probably run close.

I'm hoping tonights debate inflates Sanders a bit in IL and MO so I can dump them for a small gain.

Rubio and Kasich dropout markets are live and evil - Will he drop out within 2 days after FL/OH?

I guess NO is what you take if you think he gets pushed out before Florida.

Made some money flipping Rubio NO, but greatly underestimated the thirst for Rubio NO and only made 5 cents a share instead of doubling my money like I could've dang.

edit: fun fact, currently Joe Biden is more likely to win the general election for president than Marco Rubio in PredictIt.

Biden's the horse to bet on if you think that (1) Clinton is going to get charged over the email server and (2) in some hypothetical universe where she does get charged, they'd give Biden the nomination instead of Sanders. He has a route to it but you'd have to pretty loving stupid to believe these two not-going-to-happen things will happen.

Meanwhile Rubio has no route whatsoever.
