How much do you think a strong showing by Sanders in Thursday's debate will shake up some of these ratios?

Almost every one of the Sanders/Clinton markets has 90%+ in the bag for Clinton. I don't get it.

The Joe Man posted:

poo poo. On the other hand, he has a tendency to continue closing the gap even days before an election and with a strong debate performance, I feel those shares can double at the very least. If he actually wins I'll be freaking the hell out but I'll probably have cashed out before then (which I'll also be freaking out about re: lost profit).

This website will be the death of me.

The Joe Man posted:

Invested too much already though so I need to see how hosed/rich I am after the weekend...and if I profit, I'll likely use some of that money to support down-ticket races instead of plopping it back into the markets. MAYBE invest in CT Bernie but ehhhhh.

Man, right now the NYS Board of Elections is showing it at +15.2, but the NY Times is saying it's +16, and the price of Yes is climbing. Fortunately, I sold my "No" shares for a small loss, but Yes when it was still relatively cheap, and I'm finishing the night about 30% up. Withdrawing that money now so I'm not tempted to make more bets.

This is my first time I've managed to play the swings the right way since the Republican MOV market in Louisiana.

MOV yes is practically a lock. At least 50k votes still out of counties with hillary up 30 points.

Made a good $100 tonight playing fairly conservatively. I'm almost even again lol.

Bought yes again. Only going to break even on this stupid market. Bad day overall (though a good future for my 2000x 1200-1236 Trump delegate count shares perhaps).

MOV Yes is down to 70 if anyone wants to pick up some shares.

Edit: And back to 88. This market is great.

Also, any money he makes and doesn't spend he can funnel into his future senate races. He basically never has to do any fundraising ever again after this presidential run. Might as well keep the donation lines open until the very end.

How are the polls looking in Rhode Island? I was able to nab some cheap Bernie.NO a while ago and think now might be a good time to duck out while I'm ahead.

edit: Apparently there's basically zero. Just put up some sell offers to take my winnings and run.

This right here is how you snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.



Also, I can recognize my own bad gambling instincts because I'm kicking myself for selling those MOV shares at $0.80 when now I see they are at $0.97. What's the line from Casino? The guy who wins, but doesn't see himself as winning what he bet, but instead losing what he wasn't willing to add to his bet, he's the guy with the problem.

It's probably his best chance of winning a state next week so he'll probably make a big play for it.

That's how I'm reading it too. This is his best chance for a victory so the Bernie betters are going to get themselves emotionally invested in it.

Should be interesting to see how this one unfolds though. I'm wondering how big an impact the NY loss will have on morale. Also despite being his best shot it seems like Bernie is investing most of his resources into PA.

If it's true that the Bernouts collectively decide that this is the market to get invested in it may be the best bet for the upcoming elections. This is if you think Hillary can win it, though. With the lack of data it's really hard to call this one.

You gotta figure the fact that he's basically mathematically done will drive voters away from him. What's the point voting for a guaranteed loser? That has to depress turnout. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't win a single remaining state
