I'm wondering the same thing about Nebraska. I doubled down against Trump there after the price started to fall today, since people moved the market 20 cents on nothing more than the Indiana poll, as far as I can tell.

Cruz is going down, man. I wouldn't bet on any future market against Trump at any price. Definitely don't bet on his winning if you feel the price is wrong, but betting against him is asking to lose at this point.

I have a max bet there against Cruz at average price .33 and I'm not selling.

Edit: I'm also not being against hillary even though I think she's overpriced in west Virginia.

Yeah I don't know what his finances look like but if he gets wiped in Indiana I wouldn't be surprised if his campaign totally imploded. Same goes for Bernie, really. Both campaigns seem to be on thin ice and could go under any day now. Just something to factor into your calculus.

I think he'll lose Indiana, but it will be close enough that the True Believers will hang on until California. The fleeing of the non-devout is already well underway. With an hour to go, they're 14,000 calls behind the goal for the day, for example, and lots of posts about fundraising coming up short

Houston, we're Havana problem.
If Kasich can stay in the race with his skeleton crew, I can see Cruz and Sanders doing so as well. Doesn't mean they are winning anything, but they will probably stick around.

I don't know. Bernie has been effectively out of contention for weeks and he still managed to pick up Rhode Island. It might be the same for Cruz--I doubt he'll give up until Trump actually hits 1237.

I'm not saying he can't still win states I'm saying these markets are also carry an implicit 'if he doesn't drop out first' in addition to if he'll win it.

Though I could see him still winning Oregon even if he suspended.

I feel like Cruz currently has issues that bernie never had. If Trump and Hillary both died today, I know bernie would be DNOM but I do not know that Cruz would be RNOM.

I don't know, but 75-25 sounds about right in terms of matching the probability of an upset. The polls have been pretty close, though Clinton has a clear edge. MOV market should be fun!

Edit: Bernie No at 70c is probably a soft buy.

Edit2: Benchmark puts it at Hillary +3:

Biden has sat immobile on the Iron Throne of America. He is the Master of Malarkey by the will of the gods, and master of a million votes by the might of his inexhaustible calamari.
Gotta love that in the WV dem market, both "yes" and "no" for both candidates are all above 50. It's like the market has no idea who will win!

I don't know about that. If she died today I might give even odds that the D party would Hubert Humphrey somebody like Biden into the spot instead.

The WV shift to Sanders today is absolutely insane though, I'm surprised.

Scaled poo poo back and only invested my $250 RI wins into Indiana today (Bernie YES) since I couldn't withdraw anyways. Going to bet baby-bite style until I make back my previous losses.

Clinton has a -7 net favorability among likely Democratic primary voters in West Virginia somehow, wow.

What are the logistics of WV? I know it's "mixed", but can you switch parties same-day?

e: Nvm, looks like I's can vote in the D or R race.

Wow, the last time trump looked like this in the markets was like in late February. Cruz has just completely collapsed in Indiana the last couple days according to not only polling but observers on the ground, from what I'm hearing.

Cruz dropout by may is super tempting right now,I could easily see him gone by the end of the week if tonight is bad enough. How's his cash doing, anyway?

Most polls are now closed in indiana. There's some in the western part of the state are still open since they are in the central (?) time zone.
