No, if Bernie NO were actually below Hillary YES then they would be broken. They're still feeling the Bern. The fact that they're within a couple cents of each other could indicate a reduce in Bern though.

The Hillary market has been very liquid, but the Bernie market has stubbornly refused to move much. Sitting on 3689 Bern No shares here and can't wait to see them start moving. Sold my Hill yes awhile back.

Better to not have been there during the first moments of the MOV. There was an AP typo that caused all the news sites using their data to say it was a 17 point spread. That was fixed, but in the moments of confusion it was rough, especially if you're trying to win by playing faster than anyone else.

Bernie supporters are so eager to put money on the Sanders train that as soon as he was in the lead in Oregon, Clinton was sub-5 cents. He's lost Kentucky but is still floating around 6 to 7.

It's really kind of amazing.

Nope. Missed KY entirely. Barely saved myself by buying up a poo poo ton of cheap MOV NO Oregons and selling them at 90c. These trades barely offset my huge Hill YES Oregon shares.

Yeah, same on Oregon. Though I would have been fine if I had been paying the usual amount of attention. Instead I started arguing with my girlfriend about some stupid poo poo and missed my window by about 15 minutes, hahaha.

Nah Oregon wasn't at all like most primaries. The big moments came in three huge dumps that you had to be lucky to catch at the right time. Plus in the beginning all sorts of numbers were being thrown around and a lot of people got confused.

There was maybe one swing and it lasted a minute before deflating. Wasn't even a good swing

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.
You can make a quick 10% by buying B5 NO in the Trump/Clinton poll. She's currently at +5.7, so it would take apocalyptic overnight poll numbers to sink that in 47 hours.

Though don't bet on polls.

why isn't oregon MOV going to 95+?

ppl in the comments are talking about "early votes" but as far as I can tell the results are almost all in in every county - you can compare Democratic ballots received (as of yesterday I think) here: http://sos.oregon.gov/voting/Documents/P16-Daily-Ballot-Returns.pdf with vote totals here: http://oregonvotes.gov/results/2016P/345596126.html

so, for example:

Mulnomah: 118K vs 105K votes
Clackamas: 40K vs 42K votes
Lane: 52K vs 54K votes
Washington: 53K vs 53K votes
Marion: 26K vs 23K votes

so yeah, some of these counties have sub 10% left, but for the most part, this is already done, right?

There are a ton of pumpers in the comments trying to say the margin is gonna increase enough resolve Yes, and since the count is so slow people will just react to about any damned thing.

wish I had more cash to buy in the 70s...

CNN shows "estimated % in" in all of these counties being pretty low - Lane at 67%, Marion at 69% - but (if I remember from past primaries) CNN's estimates are based on previous election turnouts, not the actual number of ballots received from the SOS page

edit: ^^^ k, that makes sense, thanks. I'll go look up the 2008 numbers but I still have trouble imagining this is going to close

It appears that percentages for Clinton and Sanders in the CNN and NYTimes results ignore the votes for the non-Clinton/Sanders candidates. DecisionDesk has that at 1.7% of the vote. Not a lot, but enough to compress Sanders lead over Clinton by ~1-2%

Honestly, if you didn't go for Bernie YES on Oregon, you probably should take a step back and stop using PredictIt, because you either have no idea what the political landscape in America is like or you suck at predicting. How some people thought Hillary winning by 15 based on one poll being legit is beyond me. There's really no better state for Bernie than Oregon, besides Vermont.
