Someone posted a fake Monmouth poll in the Kentucky dem thread and that pushed Bernie NO down about 10 cents.

So it looks like the KY and OR are waited with bated breath for Tyler Pedigo to tell them who is going to win. Hoping it's all good news for Bernie and I can buy some cheap as gently caress Hillary shares.

It would be his first closed primary win.

The social media stats Pedigo cites to don't even sound that favorable. Dude must be mixing apples and oranges somewhere.

Today's the day. If Bernie wins Oregon I'll be left with 40 bucks on PI, down from 600 initially. If he loses I'm BACK IN THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!

Although if KY causes a surge of Oregon shares I might just sell enough to break even no matter what.

I'm in big on Bernie Death as well today. Hoping for a solid loss in Kentucky will move the Oregon market.

I live in Kentucky (not long enough to vote, unfortunately), and I drove by a few polling places. They look desolate. I'd say the Bern is no longer being felt.

Yep, looks like it's gonna drop all day. FiveThirtyEight went and said "Nate’s demographic model gives Sanders an edge of about 15 percentage points." So the fish are all swimming that direction. Hopefully Kentucky will come back strong for Hillary and bump things up this evening.

Oregon MOV market is surging as well. If you think Oregon will be close it's a good buy at 34c.

I've only got 25 shares in on Clinton in Oregon, so I'm just happy to see how that plays out. Kentucky has me a little nervous though. These turnout reports look apocalyptic for Bernie, but who knows.

SoS says they're expecting 20%, no long lines anywhere, CNN keeps reporting polling stations are pretty desolate.

Local news isn't even talking about it too much partly I think because the republicans had to move their caucus up to let Rand Paul run for Senate, and no one really cares if the republicans aren't on the ballot.

Yea, sold all my Hillary YES/Bernie NO in the main primary at a loss so I could buy the MOV NO at the dipped price.

Two different models dueling in the Oregon market comments right now. We've got Tyler Pedigo with Bernie at +40 and then Benchmark Politics which says it'll be a close Sanders win but won't be shocked if Hillary wins.

If my cashout check had arrived earlier I'd be down but I already have $550 tied up in the VP & distant primary markets. Need to play it cool for a bit - slowly working my way up from the hole though!

Good job! And it's alright. I mean, it's not like I'd have the pull to heavily contribute to the weight we'd need to cause a panic- I'd only be able to throw in like $100. But like someone else was saying, it only takes a few people with moderate funds to buy everything up on the ground floor, at which point tons of others get in to try to ride the wave.

Just watch the polls and throw all your extra cash into Hillary NO in the OR primary market as soon as KY's been called for Clinton. Bernie shares are already dropping like a rock for OR. Maybe a little sooner since I don't know when OR results are supposed to come in but yeah it's free money; he's not going to lose OR.

EDIT: Hahaha Sanders dropout market is going nuts: https://www.predictit.org/Contract/2585/Will-Bernie-Sanders-drop-out-on-or-before-May-31#data

I don't think it's free money at all, given his under performance in KY and the OR polls. The early vote #s are also bad for him- much higher turnout in pro-hillary areas.
